I have been practicing meditation for sometime to keep myself grounded and steer away from negativity from within. It has always helped me collect myself.
Does anyone know of safe, faith based meditations? Is there such a thing? I see them on YouTube but fear what I'll be listening to could be false messages.
Hello LostMan in FL.
It takes a humble man to ask these questions of strangers in a Christian forum. God wants you to have the answer and you will doubtless get it if you ask the Lord right now for understanding and illumination. He will shed light on this subject for your benefit. Just stop what you are doing for a minute and call out loud to God Almighty. Let Him know that you are asking Him for answers to this and willing to receive His truth in The Savior's Name, Jesus Christ..
This issue has come up hundreds of times throughout my life. You already were given scriptures on this, so I'll try not to repeat those, but be brief as possible. I will answer your questions the best I can.
My background in meditation....
Early as a boy, I was trained in America's most popular form of meditation and since then learned that the other forms of eastern meditation are similar in their fundamentals. My teachers were disciples of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who brought TM, Transcendental Meditation, to America. It was sold to the youth, young adults and Medical industry as a scientific group of techniques for self help and various benefits. The Indian yogi struck out his first trip to America. He returned to India for guidance on how to convince the Christian influenced westerners. The hippie culture wasnstarted by the C🪬A and was gaining popularity through their promotion of pop culture influencers, psychedelic drugs, promiscuity and rejection of Christian norms and institutions. Even then, full blown Hinduism like TM meditation was too much too soon for the gullible young.
Then upon going back to India, his master heard from a demon who gave him the answer. He was told that westerners are enamored by "science" and resist Hinduism. He returned to America to make lots of money from the foolish young C👁️A led counter culture. Instead of teaching it as a religion, he trained his disciples to teach the same but use scientific terminology and illustrations instead. The AMA and modern medi-sin has swallowed the lies hook line and sinker. For a century they have always promoted sorcery mixed with science falsely so called and relabeled it "healthcare." Like Maharishi Mahesh, the devils directed them in very lucrative methods of deception to make money and power.
There were celebrities like the Beatles of England who became devotees of the Yogi and promoted his form of Hinduism.
I was also trained in Taoism in my teens. We practiced occultic Taoist meditation too.
I corrected a number naturalpaths NDs, and integrative physicians on this issue. It has cost me in some cases because meditation, yoga, etc are powerful religious traditions they hold dear, in spite of their self deception that makes them think these are harmless ways to relax and lower BP.
The health and nutritional information was sound, but I reject the practices of meditation and new age/ Hindu spiritual rituals like Reiki, etc.
The Natural paths and my fellow nutritionists really should know the truth instead of seeking knowledge from heathen doctors of heathen practices.
Jeremiah 10:1-2
1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen
That applies to us today.
The word of the Lord speaks to me through preaching/ teaching that I listen to regularly from a Biblical Holy Spirit empowered servant of His.
I think about what was taught and take it to heart and application. This is a way of meditating upon His word. Likewise, the Word of the Lord speaks to me in the morning and night as I have my personal reading devotions straight from my ancient Holy Scriptures inspired and preserved from God in my KJV Bible. This is worthy of much reflection and thought, connected with the One Who gave it.
This is meditating in His Word day and night . Psalm 1
Yet God is Holy and a separate Person. He is not the universe. He is the master and creator of the universe, of all energy and all matter. Note that Almighty God is also personal and wants us to get to know Him personally through seeking to know Him as described exclusively in His written Word.
ALL other religions and practices are contrary to God's Word. They are of Christ rejectors and demons.
The popular practice of Meditation, whether TM or another, has the following in common.
A. Rather than fill the mind with the truth of God's Word, they empty the mind and get into an altered state of suggestion.
B. There is a Sanskrit name repeated over and over again. It is called a Mantra. There's a reason that it comes from Sanskrit. There's also a reason that the Bible forbids using this practice of vain repetition as the heathens do.
C. The Mantras are the Names of Hindu false gods and demons.
D. What you are doing when you meditate, is to get into a suggestible altered state of consciousness. Then you are calling for, actually summoning a demon . It is a method of receiving influence from and sometimes even possession of a demon. Rather than continuing in a core religious practice of Hinduism, this is what I would do. Unlike TM where you take a course of a dozen+/- classes before you are initiated to a strange statue with incense burning in their evil shrine. That's how that meditation is finally revealed after the money is given and brain washing has deceived the initiate. It is simple and easy to do the following.
Since you are a truth seeker by your admission of wanting to know, I believe that you have something far better to look forward to than anything offered by Hinduism.
I am providing a short video that explains the need of salvation and the gift that God provides free of charge. It is absolute truth and Jesus Christ is the Truth. He is personally God as is His Father and the Holy Spirit.
There's a prayer at the end that confirms your gift.
Contact me here friend if you have any questions.

To your happiness.
