Letting Our Guard Down - Guided meditation
This guided Christian meditation invites you to let your guard down, releasing the protective armor you've built around your heart and allowing yourself to be seen and held by divine love. Whether you're new to contemplative prayer or a seasoned practitioner of Christian mysticism, this 23-minute meditation offers gentle guidance for softening defenses and opening to vulnerability.
During this meditation, you'll be guided through practices that help you recognize where you're defended and what that protection has cost you. Christian mystical tradition teaches that our defenses, while once necessary, often keep us isolated from the very love we long for. This meditation creates a safe container for lowering your guard, trusting that you are held by grace and can risk being truly seenā€”first by God, then by yourself, and eventually by others.
This meditation pairs beautifully with our daily meditation and communion services. Find a quiet space where you can sit or recline comfortably and practice surrender.
