Meditation: Narration of the Heart

Charlotte Mason put a heavy emphasis on meditation for the parent and the child. This talk explores what she meant by meditation and looks deeply at this neglected Christian practice. There is a not-surprising correlation between how we read Scripture and our school books! And the phrase, “read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest” might come to life in a new way for you.

Please listen and see what Mason called “the most important part of the preparation of the mother”! The slides that accompany this talk are also below, as well as the picture for the picture study. I hope you enjoy listening along and are encouraged to pursue Christian meditation in your life, no matter what season you are in.

Recorded live at the 2021 Living Education Retreat.
