What distinguishes Christian meditation from the Catholic tradition from non-Christian meditation?
Upvote:2
I think the Biblical model of meditation is not to do with emptying your mind, but on filling your mind with the good things of God.
There are plenty examples in Psalms:
Ps 119: 15 I meditate on your precepts . . .
Ps 119: 97 Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.
Ps 77: 12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.
There are more.
