In today’s episode of The Illuminated Woman, we’re diving deep into the spiritual practice of meditation—and asking the bold question: Is your meditation drawing you closer to God… or opening you up to deception?
If you've been practicing stillness through a New Age lens but are hungry for Biblical truth, this episode will help you discern what God truly says about meditation and how to return to a Christ-centered posture of peace, reflection, and intimacy with Him.
In this episode, we explore:
- The difference between New Age meditation and Biblical meditation
- Why stillness without Scripture can become spiritually dangerous
- How to meditate on God’s Word without performance, breathwork, or mantras
- A simple, soul-honoring way to spend quiet time with God each day
Whether you’ve meditated for years or are just now questioning old spiritual habits, this episode will guide you with grace and truth.
Note: I misspoke at one point in this episode and mistakenly referred to Romans 2... I meant to say Romans 12:2 🙏🏼
The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you’re just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.
