Meditation a Means of Silencing the Mind

The Body is incredibly noisy. Yet it is the bridge from the seen world to the unseen world. We cannot ignore the body though throughout ages it has been. Today anything related to the body can make headlines: tabloids sensationalize news about celebrities and their physiques, discussions on health care permeate our airwaves, diets galore bombard us, and fitness buffs tout their horns. We wonder what will they come up next.

Meditation a Means of Silencing the Mind

I like to think that the head quarters for the body is the mind. I think many of us would agree that the mind is extremely loquacious, chattering unceasingly even when we are a sleep. The ability to shape the mind is what determines the quality and quantity of life we attain. The Bible instructs us to renew our minds. This ancient book is the greatest book of positive thinking and thus transformation. Meditation is a form of quieting the mind, but meditating on God’s words not only silences the mind but also transforms it as we attain spiritual acuity to hear from God. The believer who is destined to achieve the promises in the Book and to please God aligns his or her thoughts with the Word of God. Thoughts become subjected to the living Word of God.
