WOMERN OF GRACE - 062123- Dangers of Mind Blanking for Kids

Host Johnnette Williams welcomes new age researcher & blogger Sue Brinkmann as they talk about wacky things that distract from the faith. This week they discuss the dangers of mind blanking for children. A 'Catholic' school is teaching the kids to use centering prayer and empty their minds while repenting a mantra. Sue explains how this is common to eastern forms of meditation that strive to blank the mind. Christian prayer is a dialogue with God; eastern meditation is a concentration exercise. The two are not synonymous. Caller Carol wants to know what 'grounding' is and if it is a new age practice.
