Meditation is just a technique to control breathing in order to calm your mind. It doesn’t belong to any religion.

I really enjoyed this article immensely! I’m catholic but love a lot of the Buddhist practices! I think that we can learn something from every religion!

I am a buddhist and the prayer I pray every day is ‘The Prayer of St. Francis’. I find that meditating on even just the first line (Lord, make me an instrument of your Peace…) is beneficial — especially when I am feeling a bit frazzled or impatient. Blessings to you, Susan, and best of luck on your Journey.

I am so glad that you came back to the Church. So often it is because children were not taught the fullness of the faith that they seek truth outside of Jesus, the Truth. Make sure that the Buddhest practices of meditation you are promoting are in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church. See the Catechism of the Catholic Church (2705,843) , The Splendor of Truth (by Pope John Paul II) and other sources.
