Re: Full absorption
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I sometimes meditate on a phrase or bit of scripture (contemplative prayer). It's not a mantra, but rather you repeat the phrase in your mind, turning it over, examining it, trying to absorb it. Well, with something like scripture, you're trying to gain some mystical understanding of it, some connection to what's "behind" the words (very hard to explain, I'm finding). This can also be done with affirmations or, now that I come to think of it, koans.
Is this what you're talking about or am I confused? (Or both, perhaps )
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
