This week in the “Daily Meditations,” we’re exploring contemplative practices outlined in Fr. Richard Rohr’s book, “Just This.” https://bit.ly/3Ro1N5h
Today, Fr. Richard considers how contemplative prayer allows us to release our thoughts, finding deeper wisdom and guidance:
“When we meditate consistently, a sense of our autonomy and private self-importance — what we think of as our ‘self’ — falls away, little by little, as unnecessary, unimportant, and even unhelpful in many cases. The imperial ‘I,’ the self that we likely experience as our only self, reveals itself as largely a creation of our mind.”
How has contemplative practice shifted your concept of “self”?
