Meditation

Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and

supreme joy in the end.                              Swami Sivananda

     A client asked me today, "What do you mean by meditation? What IS meditation?". My first thought was that meditation is the gateway to enlightenment, the doorway to peace, but I knew that wouldn't answer her question. So I responded with my usual answer: "Meditation is just listening. Prayer is when you speak to God and meditation is when you listen ."
     Meditation has always been a core structure in my learning. It was one of the first things I was directed, by Spirit, to learn. It revealed to me the many layers of my mind and how they communicated, exchanged information with one another.  It taught me to calm my mind so I could understand my world and my emotional reaction to it. It elevated my consciousness enabling me to understand huge bodies of information easily. And it has been a daily practice of mine for nearly 20 years and a part of every gathering, group and class I’ve facilitated since the day I began teaching. It is the one tool that everybody loves, anyone can practice and everyone can learn. Meditation has the power to change your life and your health forever.
