Open Mind and Heart to the Higher Mystery. The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel

The author of the book Father Thomas Keating (1923–2018) is a Trappist monk and priest, one of the three main developers of the Centering Prayer method.
The book is a step-by-step guide to Centering Prayer. This prayer offers a practical method for entering into our "inner stillness." Sincere yearning for God is sustained in it through a sacred word.
Centering Prayer is inspired by the works of key authors of the Christian contemplative heritage, including John Cassian, the anonymous author of "The Cloud of Unknowing," Francis de Sales, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, and Thomas Merton.
The book also provides a historical overview of the tradition of Christian contemplative prayer.
"Open Mind and Heart to the Higher Mystery" has already gone through several dozen reprints in the West. It serves as an inspiring guide for those seeking a living communion with God and an understanding of their true essence.
