Teresian mysticism

Teresian mysticism, named after St. Teresa of Avila, focuses on personal, transformative experiences of God's presence through prayer and contemplation. It emphasizes inner silence, deep meditation, and a genuine relationship with God, often described as a journey towards spiritual union. St. Teresa advocated for the importance of mental prayer and the stages of spiritual growth, guiding individuals toward greater intimacy with the divine. Her teachings encourage a balance between active service and deep inner reflection, aiming to lead believers to profound peace and understanding of God’s love.
