The article doesn't really define what it means by meditating. Buddhist exercises? Christian meditation? They are entirely different. It would seem as if they should have described the meditative exercises.
Do you do a Christian meditation on the Passion, or do you imagine one hand clapping?
There isn't any difference any longer. Go to www.innerexplorations.com and see what I mean. The mystics of the past are back, still not acknowledging that the practice is occultic. Ah...but they are "bridging the gap" between the east and west you see. They are coming together with eastern "brothers" who practice Buddhism and Hinduism. Doesn't that make you feel so warm and fuzzy? Hey, even scientists who generally hate religion like this stuff.
