The Woman Caught – Imaginative Contemplation – John 8
Manage episode 401725264 series 3049524
A 23-minute audio meditation with John 8:1-11, using Imaginative Contemplation.
In this meditation on John’s Gospel, I invite you to join me in taking a ‘long, loving look’ at a few verses of text, beholding the words as living, shimmering, life-giving containers which hold endless layers of wisdom, mystery, beauty and truth.
Just for these few minutes, I invite you to leave your dogma, your creed, your thoughts, and your rational mind aside, and become present to your deeper self, your true self or essential self.
In imaginative contemplation we invite the Spirit to speak to us through the faculty of the imagination, allowing the text to come alive as we fill in the sensory details in our minds (eg what do I hear, how does she appear?), as we allow the story to become our own in some way.
As always with guided meditation, keep yourself in a safe emotional space – if you don’t feel comfortable with the experience, gently come back to your breath.
Deepest blessings as you pray here.
Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
