I use meditation because I have an ADD mind that does not have a filter, therefore every good and bad thought invades my thinking but when I meditate I can fill my mind with Christ which relieves my obsessive thinking.
Meditating on the Lord is nothing new, and it is encouraged in the bible. But I understand you concern as new age forms of mediation, or Eastern versions of meditation, (such as emptying your mind) isn't quite what the Lord meant. I am still learning quite a bit on the subject matter to, so I hope you can reply to this with any new finds!
a long time ago i've realized this...the lord command us to fast... if we have bad thoughs and feelings, we have to fast of them... that's meditation... fasting of the mind and the soul...

How do I introduce Christian meditation in a ministry setting without being equated to introducing new age practice?
