Please note that in the spirit of sacred silence, I will lead you into 5 minutes of true silence without music, words or guidance - giving you the tools to start practicing centering prayer on your own time. This method is inspired by The Cloud of Unknowing, a 14th-century mystical text that teaches us how to rest in God’s presence beyond thought. Using a sacred word as a symbol of our consent, we gently release distractions and open ourselves to the action of the Divine within. This practice is not about achieving stillness but about surrendering to the mystery of God’s love. Whether you are familiar with contemplative prayer or simply seeking a deeper way to connect with the sacred, this meditation offers a gentle path into divine intimacy.
