What’s sad to me is that many in the west leave for other faiths looking for tools like this, but most Protestant churches either don’t know about them or actively attack them.

Being unable to meditate on Scripture or what's happening around us leads to a lack of spiritual depth. It's one thing to quote the Bible but when you see someone who meditates, the difference is clear. Like the man said, "think on these things."

Meditation, in the Christian sense, is actually just studying and contemplating on Scripture and God. Quite different from the common perception of "removing all thoughts from your mind".

“Removing all thoughts from your mind” is a common misperception of meditation. It is understanding the difference between self and thoughts, and being at peace with both. Pushing either away is unhealthy.

In my church as a kid, meditation was part of “eastern mysticism”. It’s “a devil behind every bush” mentality. “Everything we can’t understand or explain(except stuff in the Bible) is evil.”
