O que o cristianismo ensina sobre Meditação
Segundo o cristianismo, Meditação: Neutro.
A tradição contemplativa cristã inclui práticas de meditação que remontam aos Padres do Deserto. A oração centrante e a lectio divina são práticas ortodoxas. Contudo, os cristãos são advertidos contra técnicas de meditação que esvaziam a mente ou invocam entidades espirituais não cristãs.
Christian Denominations: How They Differ on Meditation
Catholic Church
The Catholic Church has a rich contemplative tradition including the Rosary, Adoration, and Ignatian spirituality. Centering prayer, developed by Trappist monks, is explicitly Christian meditation. The Church cautions against practices that blur the line between Christian prayer and non-Christian spirituality.

Protestant Churches
Protestant views vary widely. Evangelicals often embrace biblical meditation on Scripture but may view Eastern practices with suspicion. Mainline Protestants are generally more accepting of mindfulness. Rick Warren and Tim Keller have both endorsed meditation on Scripture.
Holy Bible (Protestant canon)
Eastern Orthodox
Eastern Orthodoxy has the deepest Christian meditation tradition through hesychasm — the practice of inner stillness and the Jesus Prayer. This dates to the 4th century desert monastics. Orthodox meditation always centers on Christs name, never on emptying the mind.
