The Edgar Cayce readings repeatedly emphasized the importance of meditation as an integral ingredient for personal transformation. In fact, they suggested that information on meditation be added to the 24 lessons that comprise the A Search for God material.

Meditation defined:

Meditation is the emptying of ourselves of all that hinders the Creative Forces from rising along the natural channels of our physical bodies to be disseminated through the sensitive spiritual centers in our physical bodies.…

Meditation is not musing or daydreaming, but attuning our mental and physical bodies to their spiritual source.…

Meditation is prayer from within the inner self.…In prayer we speak to God, in meditation God speaks to us.
