Turning to the Mystics with James Finley

CHAPTER

Meditation and the Breath

Meditative practices that focus on the breathing are to help us liberate ourselves from being so bound up in reflections and thoughts. And then the breath has a depth to mention to it as so it can become the doorway into this realized state. Later, when we look at the cloud of anknowing, we'll see that too,. In the use of the word, or in the jesus prayer, the use of a word just grounds it. He says, where you take everything you know and you bury it in this one little word and stay there. These are strategies that invite this state, you know, this awake unit to state all these mystics are trying to help us with.
