\nStages of Lectio Divina<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Statio <\/b>– Coming to Rest, Sitting.
Lectio<\/b> – Reading or Listening to passage of scripture until something jumps out at you and “Touches the heart”.
Meditatio – <\/b>Reflect on what you might be being invited to hear. Ask yourself : “How does this apply to my life now?”
Oratio <\/b>– Feeling at the level of affectivity.   Allow the words to touch your deepest self and talk back to your heart.
Contemplatio <\/b>–  Natural emergence of space, contentment, simply coming to be.  (Similar to Shamata practice)
Collatio – <\/b> Sharing of meditation experience with a spiritual community (Sangha)
Actio<\/b> – Back in the world into action  (The “Rise Up” half of “Sit Down, Rise Up”) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
