A friend has been teaching me how to use Christ-centered meditations to gain insights, answers, and remove emotional blocks. Most importantly Christ-centered meditation leads one to a place where s/he can feel the Savior’s unconditional love. It can truly be an amazing experience.

Since I always like to make sure that anything I’m learning is in keeping with gospel principles, I did some research on the subject and found this quote by President David O. McKay:

“I think we pay too little attention to the value of meditation, a principle of devotion. … Meditation is the language of the soul. It is defined as ‘a form of private devotion or spiritual exercise, consisting in deep, continued reflection on some religious theme.’ Meditation is a form of prayer. …

“Meditation is one of the most secret, most sacred doors through which we pass into the presence of the Lord” (Man May Know for Himself, comp. Clare Middlemiss [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1969], pp. 22–23).

That last sentence really stood out to me, and I have found it to be true.
