Last night my prayer group was cancelled...God was busy! So, I went to a meditation group, which I'd been invited to awhile back but couldn't go because I was in prayer group on Monday evenings. I like prayer group because it'a a chance to sit with others and pray for things that are important to us, to share our concerns about the world and about life. Where else do people get together and spend an hour doing this? Does God listen to our pleas...I dunno. But, I think it builds relationships and puts good vibes out there, if nothing else. The church I went to last night is a Unity Church which has a very different perspective on Christianity. I'd been there a few times in the past so the Pastor remembered me, it's a very tiny church. I do notice that whereever I go, people remember me...is that a good thing? LOL. Afterwords, we went around the group saying how the experience was for each of us. I said " I thought I'd go insane sitting for an hour doing absolutely nothing!" Pastor laughed and said "Whatis, we didn't go an hour. I stopped it because I could sense you were getting restless" I was meditating at home for a long while but it was to music and for about half an hour...lying on my bed or in my office on lunch hour a few times per week. I found it helpful. But once my energy started coming back I just kind of stopped. Anyway, I might do alternate weeks of meditation and prayer group. We'll see, either one is a good choice! The only concern is that in the evangelical church I go to meditation is probably considered some kind of Satanic ritual and Unity would be the devils church...maybe I'll just say I'm golfing ha ha.
