Using
Daily Meditations
The daily prayer meditation guide
can be used privately or with your partner. It is our suggestion
that each partner read the daily meditations privately and reflect
on its meaning in his/her own life. If you plan on working on
the meditations privately, it is wise to share your insights with
members of your support group. The meditation techniques you currently
useIf you chose to read the prayer
meditation with
a partner, we encourage you to keep your sharing focused on your
own experience, strength, and hope. Don't ask for advice because
you may get it and don't give advice because your partner may
take it. Meditation classes are helpful but
not always readily available. Our daily prayer meditation
guide could create the atmosphere of joining in a meditation
classes with your partner when you practice the meditation
techniques offered in the guide.
Meditation
Format
Each week will be devoted to a theme about
relationship building that is broken down into five parts that
will be individually loaded on a daily basis Monday through Friday.
The
meditation techniques used will contain the following three
key sections:
Challenge
The first section will briefly describe
the challenges that we face in a romantic partnership. The challenge
section is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the problem
area or all of its common manifestations. In the months to come
this site will offer articles that cover the themes and the five
focus points in more depth.
Reflection
The second section, Reflection, suggests
an alternate perspective on the problem addressed in the Challenge
area. The text is limited in scope and designed to aid the reader
in self-examination. If you are interested in a more personal
explanation of methods for responding to the challenge of your
romantic relations, you can open an internet counseling account
with us by emailing us at: leadem@comcast.net
Prayer
The meditation concludes with a prayer focus
for the day that would be heightened if offered to God with your
partner. The theme for the week will culminate in a Weekend Workshop
that will be loaded on Saturday. The Weekend Workshop will provide
opportunities to continue the exploration of issues raised during
the week in the five components of the theme. The choices for
prayer meditation techniques are endless. If you have questions
about approaches to use, please contact us.
We do not offer meditation
classes but would be glad to help you locate a resource.
