I would like to share my experience. The essence of the meditation is the presence of God. It is true that the mind set should be empty, still; but I do not worry much about it. In Eastern religions we talk about a blank piece of paper, an empty cup of tea. No way God can get into us if we are like a piece of paper full of written words or a cup full of water. The Emmaus story is inspirational. They are in the wrong direction: Emmaus instead of Jerusalem. But Jesus is there with them, and that is the point. 40 years ago when I started meditating, I got distracted easily; but I was at peace as I prayed to Jesus: "Be with me when I get distracted" and it works. As caring Father, God already knows what we need, so the focus should be on His will. I rather talk about a meditative state, always ready to recognise His voice 24x7 like the lives of our Holy Mother and her spouse, st. Joseph. Sometimes I go for a walk in the nature and I ask Jesus to go with me. I feel blissful as once Jesus is with me, all His beloved community is there with me as well. During the meditation, I do not always hear His voice; but it doesn't matter. He can be silent; but I am sure He is at work.

I try to do this meditation every morning as I know I'll have a better day. But I stopped using Maranatha for my mantra many years ago, finding it distracting and uneuphonious. I use YAH-WEH, the name of God, with no consonants, and focus gently on breath in-breath out while saying it. then my body and mind are in tune. Got to be careful not to over-breathe though! God bless everyone.

[@Palitavc]

It isn´t a mantra, it mean "come Holy Spirit", Cristians doesn´t use "mantras". God bless you

[@living11for11love]

I use Yah-weh too!

[@rosesavoy9035]

@@Palitavc its an expression you don’t need yo be dogmatic or xenophobic about it. It is a mantra and christians always used mantras although they didn’t use thats specific world. You’re dwelling on semantics and prejudice.

[@rosesavoy9035]

Yes. For example Jean Yves Leloup speaks about Kyrie Eleison.

Traducción: • INTRODUCCIÓN A LA MEDITACIÓN (P. John Main): Para meditar, debes aprender a estar en quietud; la meditación es la perfecta quietud de cuerpo y espíritu. La quietud de cuerpo la alcanzamos sentándonos en quietud. Cuando comienzas a meditar, toma unos minutos para encontrar una posición cómoda; la única regla esencial es tener tu columna lo más derecha posible. Lo primero que debes aprender es a sentarte completamente en quietud. Tus ojos deberían estar ligeramente cerrados. Y luego, para la quietud de tu espíritu, la forma es aprender a decir, silenciosamente, y en la profundidad de tu espíritu, una palabra o una frase corta, y repetir esa palabra una y otra vez. La palabra que te recomiendo que uses, es la palabra aramea “Maranatha”. Dila en cuatro sílabas iguales: “Ma-ra-na-tha”. Dilo silenciosamente, no muevas los labios, recítala interiormente. Recita la palabra de principio a fin, deja ir tus pensamientos e ideas provenientes de tu imaginación, no pienses, no uses otra palabra más que la única que elegiste. Solo di la palabra desde la profundidad de tu espíritu y escúchala, concéntrate en ella con toda tu atención: Ma-ra-na-tha. Eso es todo lo que tienes que hacer. ORACIÓN INICIAL Padre Celestial, abre nuestros corazones, a la silenciosa Presencia del Espíritu de tu Hijo. Llévanos a ese silencio misterioso, donde Tu amor se revela, a todo aquel que dice: Maranatha… Ma ra na thá… Ven, Señor Jesús. LETRA DE LA CANCIÓN: Tú eres el centro, Tú eres mi vida Tú eres el centro, Señor de mi vida. Ven Señor y guíame, Señor de mi vida. Envíame Tu Espíritu, Señor de mi vida. Tú eres el centro, Señor de mi vida.
