    About this audiobook

    Practitioners of Centering Prayer are known for the great enthusiasm they bring to the practice of this ancient discipline. Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is a complete guidebook for all who wish to know the practice of Centering Prayer. Cynthia Bourgeault goes further than offering an introduction, however. She examines how the practice is related to the classic tradition of Christian contemplation, looks at the distinct nuances of its method, and explores its revolutionary potential to transform Christian life. The book encourages dialogue between Centering Prayer enthusiasts and those classic institutions of Christian nurture-churches, seminaries, and schools of theology-that have yet to accept real ownership of the practice and its potential.

      This is a very insightful look at Centering Prayer from a brilliant and devoted practitioner. Highly recommended!

      Good introduction

      Good and comprehensive introduction to the practice of centering prayer. I could have used a glossary or at least a summary of the steps. I had to keep backtracking as a reminder of the steps

      Why did it take me so long to find this book? Bourgeault's primer of Centering Prayer is thorough, readable and quite practical. I find it has changed my prayer, and I have been practicing Centering Prayer for many years--her insights and clear expositions cleared up questions I had been pondering for a long time, and revealed new aspects of my practice to me.

      Read this one in a couple of hours and took about 3 pages of notes; now I'm ready to go back and read it again to see what I missed the first time around. It seems so simple and yet is really so deep.
