Why Meditation?

“Meditation isn’t for ‘those people’. Meditation is for YOU!
Meditation is life-giving & it’s time you made it part of your life. Namaste’, Beth ”

Sitting in the afterglow of meditation

It was a surprise to find out that some one took a photo of our morning yoga with the lovely Danielle

To be alive! To be fully alive after a sunrise meditation followed by yoga

The healing power of nature brings all of the energies and resonances in to balance. To feel truly oneself is what each person is deeply seeking

NAMASTE' my friends

A beautiful friend from Saudi Arabia

Meditation is reaching every corner of the world. It does not compete nor displace religion. It simply complements and enhances all that is good in one’s life. There is nothing to be feared in meditation. It is a practice as natural as breathing.

The complement to the sun. The moon with it's own message

Chopra events always have a signature look and feel

Late day yoga

After sitting, learning, contemplating, reflecting its always good to connect with the body

More yoga, yes please!

I love leading retreats. This one was in late 2019 in San Clemente California

A lovely retreat for those who wanted to deepen their understanding of meditation.

Early morning start after a late night

One of the most enjoyable parts of my retreats are the late night sharings. We stayed up late to talk, share, get to know one another (maybe a little wine too!) and laugh! But I was tired the next morning. :)

I always provide breakfast at my retreats

When you attend one of my retreats breakfast is included. You will find healthy choices, gluten free breads (or not), organic coffee & teas, and fresh fruits along with other healthy goodies

Asilomar- that's all that needs to be said

The location for our silent retreats for the past several years. 7-10 days of silence. While it might seem difficult, its heaven. The gorgeousness of the retreat speaks volumes…

Brent and Amanda- thank you both for guiding us with your gentle spirits

Dr. David Simon, RIP

Dr. Simon continues to influence people around the world with his books and his legacy

Special prayers before the fireplace

This last time I simply found the ‘role’ of keeper of the fire. I loved sitting next to the fireplace and placing another log when needed. It was just what happened in 2019

This happened organically

There was a blank table at the beginning of the retreat. By the retreat’s end, this was the magic that was created. A metaphor for life. In the proper energy, with the love that humans require to thrive, magic always happens

The fireplace

This fireplace represents many things to me. It is sacred space

Rice, and lentils, and beans, and seeds, who knew? :)

This walkway, so memorable

Meditation KNITS every thing together

When we meditate regularly (not hit N miss, not a crisis meditator) it is then that the elements of our life are knitted together so perfectly

Coffee, tech, busy work day?

Why yes, meditation is part of REAL LIFE

I AM SACRED SPACE

Bringing the centeredness of meditation in to the hard topics

I educate and present to the public research and information on a range of topics when I am not sharing health & wellbeing with my clients, students, and in my online programs. The topics can be challenging (terrorism, democracy, international relations, political disorder, globalization, etc.). My meditation practice always helps me at a time when the stress is real and the public is seeking clear information. I cannot be part of the confusion and meditation helps me to remain centered when I am around others who are upset, confused, afraid, angry, or disheartened.

Meditation calms the mind

Retreating with DavidJi

Many years ago, DavidJi named his retreat location “The Nest”. And it certainly is. It is a nest to help us grow and develop so that we become better meditation teachers, share-rs, and practitioners.

Seeing through the 'eyes' of meditation

Meditation is for REAL PEOPLE. Real people with real jobs and real challenges in life. Meditation is for you. It isn’t for ‘those people’, its for You!

Gloves for meditation

It was just a fun idea I had several months ago. Just some thing fun, wearing gloves during meditation. And then,,,, the Covid19 pandemic hit the entire world. Now we wear masks & gloves because so much has changed. I had no idea at the time of this photo the significance these gloves would have… STAY SAFE EVERY ONE! KEEP MEDITATING BUT PROTECT YOUR SELF AS NEEDED.

Meditation works
Meditation is effective
Meditation is good for you

Meditation is good for your entire life!

It’s good for your mind
It’s good for your body
It’s good for your heart
It’s good for your energy
It’s good for your quality of life
YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH

Both science and medicine have validated the benefits of meditation. Meditation supports your health and wellbeing as you bring balance in to your life.

For most people, just feeling better is reason enough. Meditation helps you FEEL BETTER. Don’t you just want to feel better?

My clients keep coming back because they feel less stressed. They feel less burdened. They experience a larger perspective on their life. And they have inner resources to cope with the challenges in their daily lives. Isn’t that what you want too?
