““Meditation is the prayer of the heart, what the early Christian monks called pure prayer… Many people speak about meditation as a feeling of coming home.” – Father Laurence Freeman
How can meditation restore our sense of wonder and help us forge communities and meaningful relationships? Is there any difference between meditation and prayer? What is the role of contemplative practices in a technologically advanced society?
Father Laurence Freeman, Benedictine monk and director of the World Community for Christian Meditation, shares insights on meditation and Christianity with A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment podcast host Scott Snibbe for Science & Wisdom LIVE. In this interview, Father Laurence explores the potential of meditation to nurture and heal communities and relationships, to re-awaken our sense of wonder and help us journey from our minds to our hearts.
On the 11th of November, 2020, Father Laurence Freeman joined Geshe Tenzin Namdak, Dr. Wendy Hasenkamp, and Dr. Elena Antonova in a Science & Wisdom Live dialogue moderated by Scott Snibbe on how scientific research and meditation techniques can help us to deal with destructive emotions in these challenging times.
