Like silence and God, Centering Prayer contains all things and nothing. As a method of
prayer, it is paradoxically simple and powerful. Centered in the heart and in the body,
Centering Prayer has been described as quietly “resting in God,” a rest that begins and ends
in our hearts and which is held together by a simple word, image, or breath. God is central,
not the word, image, or breath. Our aim in Centering Prayer is to open to God’s presence
and action within us through the silence of our own being, to simply let all else pass by
(harder than it sounds!), so that our entire attention is turned toward union with the
Divine in a most holy, negative space of silence.
