Christian Meditation in Contrast to Eastern Practices

Updated: Apr 14

In the realm of meditation, a profound distinction exists between Eastern meditation practices and Christian meditation rooted in biblical principles. As followers of Christ, it is crucial to discern the differences between these two streams of meditation to ensure that our spiritual pursuits align with our faith and beliefs. Let us embark on a journey to explore the contrasts between Eastern practices and Christian meditation from a Christian perspective.


Embracing God's Presence in Meditation:

As Christians, our meditation practices are deeply intertwined with our faith. We seek to surrender our hearts to God's will, to draw strength and wisdom from His Word, and to foster a profound oneness with our heavenly Father. While the world may promote self-discovery and unity with nature, we are called to discover our true selves in the light of God's love, to seek unity with the Creator, and to find spiritual fulfillment in His presence.


In conclusion, the contrast between Eastern meditation and Christian meditation is stark yet illuminating. As followers of Christ, we are called to meditate on the Word of God, to draw closer to His presence, and to align our hearts with His will. By understanding these differences, we can approach our meditation practices with clarity, purpose, and a deep desire to commune with the Father. May our meditation journeys be guided by the light of God's Word, leading us to a profound and transformative relationship with Him.


Hey ladies, join me for a more in-depth look at the discipline of meditation in our podcast episode series of "She Disciplines Herself" on the Wellistik Podcast. Let's dive deeper into the topic of spiritual discipline and expand our understanding of the Christian walk. To accompany our journey, I recommend picking up a copy of "Spiritual Discipline for the Christian Life" by Donald Whitney and the series study guide. Let's continue to grow in faith, wisdom, and grace together as we pursue God's truth. Let's keep exploring!
