Meditation, Biblical Counseling

Have you ever meditated before? In the past, before becoming a Christian, I tried several types of eastern meditation. In Zen, we stilled our hearts and minds for an hour at a time. The idea was that if you were perfectly still, you could see existence in life much clearer. In Yoga, meditation was done to experience the energy that holds all creation together, and feeling at one with it. These in retrospect seem very foolish to me now...because God is more than His creation and creative energy...God is an unseen Spirit and God is a person. And meditation for me now is communing with God in the Spirit and listening to God speak through His Word.
