I had a lot of resistance to meditating for years. Finally, I just made time to do it first thing in the morning. Now I really get upset if my schedule prevents me from including a meditation session every day. What’s do I get out of it? There’s the connection with my soul-self, the joining with God/Love and the peace in my heart. Oh and did I forget to mention the amazing insights that come to me and guide me through my day!

Hi Kenneth, Frank and Marilyn  – I also find it a little odd about the Christian suspicion about meditation. I would have thought that it works very well with the more focused spiritual practice of prayer. I have always found it to be very beneficial to be sense of calm, self and God, or universal way.

But anyway, I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of meditation practices and wrote about it on my blog this week. I would really like some feedback on the meditation videos I’ve done up for children – my theory is that our kids are so used to the visual medium they may respond to visual stimulus to calm and centre themselves. So if anyone would like to comment it would be most appreciated. I hope it is OK to post a couple of links – cheers…kathy:

I have a few guided meditations on my YouTube channel (links below) that are great if you’re just getting into it. There are so many different ways to meditate, you just have to find what works for you! Here are some resources:
