Transformation Through Godly Meditation

Meditation is a very important part of our fellowship with God.  Don’t be afraid of it.  Meditation was God’s idea long before New-Agers thought of it and Eastern religions perverted it.  What makes the activity of meditation healthy or unhealthy comes from what we meditate on.
 
New Age thinking generally tells us to meditate by emptying our minds of everything and focus on the material things we want to possess.  This tends to promote greed and prideful self-sufficiency.  Eastern religions generally teach to meditate by emptying our minds of everything on allowing the "powers of the universe" to fill us.  This can be extremely dangerous due to the unseen spiritual forces that delight in messing with people's minds.
