SC 605: CHRISTIAN MEDITATION: EASTERN APPLICATIONS

Course overview

This course is designed to teach the student Meditation practices with a Christian focus, based on Eastern applications. The Christian Counselor is a source of spirituality for his or her clients. He does not only advise, heal, and guide, but enriches the soul he counsels. SC 605 covers the supplying source for this spiritual spring which is prayer. In particular, the course delves into Christian Meditative prayer. It primarily utilizes Fr. Keating's book on centering prayer, "Open Mind, Open Heart". Keating mixes many of the Eastern traditions of meditation with Christian notions in developing a deep prayer life for Christians that goes beyond the mere vocal prayers of the Church. In addition to this, the course also studies various Christian mystics, their works, and their meditations. Through this brief run through history, you will enrich your knowledge of the mystics and the saints but also become more familiar with their story, their writings, and their meditations. This CE Course is offered by the American Institute of Health Care Professionals, Inc. See: https://aihcp.net/spiritual-christian-counseling-ce-courses-program/
