| "Through meditation one can experience a stable, silent inner
peace that can be a permanently soothing background for all harmonious or
trialsome activities demanded by life's responsibilities. Lasting
happiness lies in maintaining this evenly peaceful state of mind."...
"You cannot buy peace; you must know how to manufacture it
within, in the stillness of your daily practices in meditation."...
"Every person needs a retreat, a dynamo of silence where he may
go for the exclusive purpose of being recharged by the Infinite."...
--Paramahansa Yogananda

Meditation
Throughout recorded world history,
all religious traditions, wisdom schools and sages have taught that going within and meditating
unlocks the greater dimensions of our being...allowing us to experience
Truth.
Today, meditation is both an ancient
spiritual practice and a scientifically- researched, contemporary
mind-body technique with tremendous health benefits -- acknowledged and
encouraged by the medical field.
Meditation -- here broadly defined as
any process that helps us turn within, quiet our bodies and minds,
allowing us to enter a transcendent silence and directly experience a
greater divine reality-- is essential in the journey of Becoming Divinely
Human.
Without some form
of a meditation practice, we will stay outer-directed, confused and deluded about
who we really are.
With so many meditation techniques and concepts available, it can be
confusing to know where to start.
If you currently have a practice,
we'll incorporate it into our work together. If not,
I
can teach you a simple, powerful process -- or help you find the right approach that
best fits you.

"Our birth is but a
sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But railing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home."
-William Wordsworth
