Is there a correct way to meditate?

For many people beginning a meditation practice, questions quickly arise about posture, breathing, scheduling, routines, and whether there is a “right” method to follow. In this episode, I explore meditation from both practical experience and spiritual practice, examining common teachings from Eastern traditions alongside Christian contemplative prayer.

Drawing from my own journey, I discuss the famous lotus position, the importance of personal experience, the power of routines, the significance of three-day and forty-day periods of discipline, and the role that focused breathing plays in calming the mind. Most importantly, I examine how meditation becomes a tool for understanding the self rather than simply following instructions because someone else claims they are correct.
