For many, contemplation is prayer or meditation, a daily practice of deep listening in order to better connect with ourselves and divine love.
Each time we pray, our habitual patterns of thinking and feeling will inevitably interrupt and distract us from deep listening, but it is through learning to be truly silent that we encounter God’s grace and experience a transformed mind.
Contemplation, therefore, is entering a deeper silence and letting go of our habitual thoughts, sensations, and feelings in order to connect to a truth greater than ourselves.
Romans 12:2 "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
