Meditation
Meditation techniques are useful when you start meditating, and I'm always happy to instruct beginners in the basics. Below you can also find some helpful suggestions in the downloadable meditation notes or try the heart-based meditation videos.
Both beginners and experienced meditators find that they are helped in their meditation by the support of the group and by the chanting that leads into the meditation. Beyond all techniques, silent meditation is essentially a way of resting in your being. At first, you get enticing glimpses of it: moments of expansion or spaciousness, of peace, love, joy, or bliss. As you settle into meditation more fully, you will find deep peace, and a very subtle joy and love. Sometimes an emptiness that is full at the same time presents itself. All these are deeply restful and nurturing. Welcome to yourself!

What people said about previous meditation retreat days:
Dear Grace, I want to say again how much I enjoyed the retreat with you on Saturday. It did me a world of good and I have felt a lot of light since then and a strong vibration in the third eye. And the experience has reminded me of what I miss in meditation, as I have not been very disciplined about it lately. I am very grateful and feel I have regained a part of myself. Mary
Diving truly into a lake of stillness and really connecting to loving myself and others, through a process of healing by chanting and by meditation. Beautiful group energy. Thank you, Grace, thank you to all for these blessings of the heart. Gerard Grugeau

It was exactly what I needed. Grace created the perfect space for me to re-center, nurture and ground myself, as well as express myself through chant and make new discoveries. Thank you for this gift, Grace. Mel Sirois
