How to Meditate as a Christian

Meditation is a quiet way to slow down, breathe, and be with God. Anyone can learn it. Meditation becomes powerful when it becomes intentional.

A gentle introduction to what meditation is and how to begin a simple, steady practice that fits naturally into your life.

Step 1

Gentle Heart

Set a timer & your intentions.

How Long You Should Meditate

Let go of the expectation and understanding that meditation is a practice, not a performance. You can meditate for a short or long time. It is whatever feels right for you.

Prepare Yourself

Step 2

Enter Stillness

Rest in a relaxed position.

Finding a Comfortable Position

You can sit, lie down, or lean on something soft or whatever feels comfy for your body. When you’re comfortable, it’s easier to stay still and enjoy your meditation.

Start a Quiet Hour

Step 3

Start Breathing

Close your eyes & take slow breaths.

Learning Breathe with Awareness

Closing your eyes and paying attention to your breathing helps you notice what’s happening inside your body. As you become more aware, your body let go of tension more easily.

Step 4

Observe Grace

Notice your thoughts without judgement.

Why Meditation Works

Stillness gives your body a chance to relax, which helps calm your nervous system and ease stress. When you feel calmer inside, your energy returns and you feel more balanced and refreshed.

5. Firm Discipline

When your mind drifts, breath again.

Understanding the Spirit

Your mind makes lots of thoughts, and that’s completely normal. When a thought shows up, just notice it and gently come back to your breathing without getting upset.

6. Thank God

At the end give thanks to God.

Offer Gratitude to God.

A routine lasts longer when it feels natural instead of something you’re forced to do, and you don’t need to be perfect—showing up for even a minute helps you grow and lose the fear of “doing it wrong.” Give thanks for your effort.
