A Brief Primer on Recollection

Okay, so it's not an easy form of meditation to do, and in fact, I recommend that people do another form of meditation instead called Centering Prayer, but it is pretty interesting so I'll post it here.

1. You pick a theme. Ex. "Give up everything and follow me."
2. You say a prayer to open the meditation.
3. You sit or kneel and you consider what the theme means.
4. You think of how you are applying it in your daily life.
5. You return to the theme.
6. You think of how you could apply it better.
7. You return to the theme.
8. You wait patiently until your period is over, returning to the theme and allowing acts of prayer to come up.

Usually the period is roughly an hour.
