Yolinna Spirit Presents:
A wise woman who was traveling in the
mountains found a precious stone in a
stream. The next day she met another
traveler who was hungry, and the wise
woman opened her bag to share her food.
The hungry traveler saw the precious stone
and asked the woman to give it to him. She
did so without hesitation. The traveler left,
rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the
stone was worth enough to give him
security for a lifetime. But a few days later
he came back to return the stone to the
wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how
valuable the stone is, but I give it back in
the hope that you can give me something
even more precious. Give me what you have
within you that enabled you to give me the
stone."

There is always music
amongst the trees
in the garden,
but our hearts
must be very quiet
to hear it.

How many times have you heard how important, even life changing, learning to meditate can be? But every time you try that crazy ole' monkey mind takes over and you find yourself skipping happily after it? Be kind to yourself. It's a process. One that takes practice. That's why Buddhist Monks take years and years to reach a level where there have been actual documented brain wave changes that occur when they meditate. They didn't get there from a 5 minute relaxation after a yoga class. Or a 2 minute (if that) silent confession time in church. They practiced. Together. Being guided, being silent, chanting....together. Practice. It cannot make us perfect, but it can bring us peace. Let's gather, once a month, and devote a couple hours to learning this ancient gift. I think you may be surprised at how quickly that monkey will move on down the road. Even if it's just for a moment. You will be led through a guided meditation to quiet your spirit. We will then share a silent meditation, remembering there is no right or wrong....and we are practicing. Afterwards, we will have some tea and discuss. Questions are encouraged-- I will do my best to answer them. I'm not an expert. But I have had many years of practice. Let's share this gift together. Meditating within a group is a powerful joy. And you don't even have to shave your head. And don't be shy-- there is always room for one more. All My Yoga Classes have Meditation as an integral part. With more than 5 minutes of relaxation.

| "Are you the Messiah?" "No", answered Buddha. "Then are you a healer?" "No", Buddha replied. "Then are you a teacher?" the student persisted. "No, I am not a teacher." "Then what are you?" asked the student, exasperated. "I am awake", Buddha replied. |
