About ChristoCentric Meditation
ChristoCentric Meditation is a new autonomous expression of a meditational system that partly originated from the Christian contemplative tradition. It is a fusion of Lectio Divina that was popularized in the medieval era by St. Benedict of Nursia, and the Raja Yoga meditation system of the Sage Patanjali of India (see chart). Both systems started at around the same era. Lectio Divina gives ChristoCentric Meditation its Christian content and symbology based on the Scriptures, while Raja Yoga lends its Eastern spiritual technology of using the mind in a certain way to raise the consciousness to bridge the personality into the Inner Christ or the Indwelling Divinity within each of us.
There is nothing woo-woo about it since the fusion of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions is not unique to our Christocentric Meditation system. The popular modern expressions of the contemplative Christian traditions, to our belief, are possibly similarly influenced by Eastern spiritual technologies, as can be seen in this chart. The influences should not be feared, but rather should be embraced so that the gaps in knowledge and practices in our Christian traditions can be filled to advance humanity's spiritual evolution. We live in exciting times as there is now a period of openness wherein the leadership of big liturgical Churches are also beginning to welcome parallel spiritual traditions as valid: including those that they previously anathematized centuries ago as heresy.
