Dangers of Meditation In the chapter on Prayer vs. Meditation, I told you of my experiences with the Eckankar Mystics, and how everyone there knew of the dangers of meditation. It has been reported that those who practice Contemplative Prayer often experience the same serious problems as the Hindus when practicing the serpent meditation commonly referred to as Kundalini Meditation. Emergent Church speaker, Richard Foster, warns other emergents of the same dangers inherent with contemplative prayer in his book. “I want to give you a word of precaution. In the silent contemplation of God we are entering deeply into the spiritual realm… sometimes it is not the realm of God [emphasis mine] even though it is supernatural… there are various orders of spiritual beings, and some of them are definitely not in cooperation with God and His way! …A prayer of protection should be said beforehand, something to the effect of ‘all dark and evil spirits must now leave’” Richard Foster, Prayer: Finding the Hearts True Home, p. 157
