Bible Question:
Lately, in a meeting to discuss about an up coming summer youth camp programmes, apart from introducing bible study method, we were considering how to encourage the young to have a consistent meditation/contemplation moment. One of the participants said that she wanted to introduce some meditation modes in the camp for the young so that they have more to choose to make their meditation more refreshing: 1/ The traditional one which is chewing on a chapter or two repeatedly for meditation. 2/ Interacting with the nature with scriptures. She said you can stand in front of a tree, a plant, an insect or facing the sky, etc. something of the nature to do your meditation. You can even talk to the creature and open yourself to let God reveal Himself or His Word through it. Perhaps, I am too ignorant. This sounds new and strange to me. So, I asked about the origin of this mode. She said it was not a new thing and could be originated from St Francis (Catholic). She said she will provide me some more information about it. I want to know if this kind of mode in aids of meditation biblical. 3/ Through performing arts (like painting or drawing, etc.) to express what has had in mind when meditating God's Word. Like No. 2, this is new and strange to me as well. This kind of mode is unlikely to be considered. Still I want to know if anyone on the forum aware of it and your biblical comments is appreciated.
