Contemplative Reading/Listening


Part 1 Contemplative Listening and Reading

This is a totally receptive phase of contemplation.

After reading or listening to the passage notice what resonates with you. Do particular words stand out?

Remain open and wait.

Carry the passage with you and read periodically during the day.
