Back when I started at the Joint Board of Christian Education I edited a book of guided meditations called "Encounters with Jesus". A couple of the meditations in the book were written by myself.
Since John 9 is coming up in the lectionary I thought I'd post my meditation based on that text about the blind man at the pool of Siloam.
The meditation is unusual in that people act out the healing in pairs. I've participated in this in both roles and it certainly can take you out of your comfort zone, so be aware of that. Of course, you don't have to do the meditation in that way, particularly if human contact is going to be an issue!
Here is a self-directed meditation option suitable for individual use with an audio recording and an instruction / reflection sheet.
