John Main - Teaching

Teaching

Main's teaching was simple: sit still and upright for a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 30 minutes, close your eyes and silently recite the prayer-phrase (mantra). The prayer-phrase is a sacred word or phrase which is repeated continually.

Both Main and Freeman recommended using the prayer-phrase Maranatha, which is Aramaic for "Come, Lord", as in I Corinthians 16:22 and Revelation 22:20.
