It Was Meditation Integrated With the Scriptures That Healed My Life


Life is not just about surviving and but thriving. However many years ago surviving was how I lived each day for a period of 4-years in which I suffered from a deep depression. I was a Christian at the time and did everything humanly possible to get relief.  I prayed that God would take this heaviness away, I would play praise music and dance around the room, I went and saw both secular and Christian counselors, I even took anti-depressants, but nothing worked for any lasting time.

Then one day I was sitting in my dark green mini-van in the parking lot of my kid's school. I was so wretched with emotional pain that you could cut it with a knife.  For some reason, I just started doing these deep breathing exercises and with each exhalation I would repeat silently to myself, "I release pain," "I release pain."  I said this over and over and in about a 10 minute time frame, all the pain was gone. 

There was a peace and stillness I had not experienced in a very long time.  In that peace, God spoke to my heart and told me that the reason I was so depressed was because of my chronically negative thoughts. As I listened to my thoughts, which were unconscious to me before this incident, I noticed that I was continually putting myself down. I was saying thing like, "I hate myself," over and over and over, all day long.

This was when my healing began. Within the next few months, using relaxation techniques and integrating them with scriptures I learned how to quiet my mind, eliminate my negative thinking, and restore my peace of mind. Also in the process of spending extended time in silence and solitude with God, my intimacy with Him increased as well.

Later, God inspired me to  create my first Christian meditation CD, Controlling Negative Thoughts. Now I have over 23 Cds Christ-centered meditation and affirmation Cds on many topics. In 2011, I authored Detox Your Life and Awaken Your Inner Spirit, a 10-week Biblically-based program that integrates God's word, spiritual and practical disciplines, and Christian meditation. The program guides believers in purifying seven cores in their life.

My future desire  is to open The Secret Place Christian Meditation and Wellness Center: A  Health and Wellness Center for Christians that will offer daily biblical meditation; Christ-centered yoga; weekly health, spiritual, and wellness classes; massage therapy; a health and nutrition boutique; support groups; and Biblical Life Coaching.-  Rhonda Jones, M.A.


My Statement of Faith


Although some might question my Christian faith or label me new age, my beliefs are deeply rooted in the Bible and the gospel of Jesus Christ, of whom I consider myself to be a disciple. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 21-years-old. It was an exciting time for me, as well as my grandma who got frantically overjoyed as I  left my seat and made it to the altar call. Although I didn't feel any differently or hear any bells or whistles, my life changed dramatically. For the next 20 plus years I was involved in every ministry possible from teaching Sunday School to participating on the witnessing team.

After years of faithful service and church attendance, I began to become disillusioned with church, but not with God. Although I attribute much of my memorization of scriptures with Bible studies and weekly sermons, I can honestly say that my walk with Christ grew tremendously when I began to seek Him on my own. No amount of church attendance or service will ever replace a deep, intimate, and fulfilling relationship with God. It comes only from dwelling in God's presence and eating (and absorbing) his Word. Jesus said that God is looking for a church that will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. It is only when we abide in His Vine that we can expect to see His fruit manifesting in our inner and outer being. Without Him we can do nothing of lasting value or consequence.  Honestly, I don't like to confess that I am the average Christian because unfortunately that often comes with many negative connotations. However, I enthusiastically attest that Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior, God's son and the greatest teacher who ever lived. It is my aspiration to become a vessel that He can use by continually striving to renew my mind, putting off my old self and nature, and by following the way of the Spirit which encompasses God's love, harmony, and peace within myself, and with others, and the world.
