A MESSAGE FROM MARY   Thoughts on Meditation ... Meditation has been around for thousands of years. I started on the Primordial Sound Meditation Journey in my quest for something more; something deeper than the societal push to acquire more. The saying the teacher arrives when the student is ready was my experience. Two years after becoming a certified PSM educator both by husband and I lost our jobs; he was diagnosed with Cancer and just before Chemotherapy, he broke his ankle; his brother died of Cancer as did his mother that same year. Without our meditation practice, I'm not sure how we would have survived. Meditation takes you beyond the human experience and suffering. As you listen to the quiet you become aware of the listener-that is your soul. It's the space between your thoughts. That presence is always there. As you practice meditation, you become intimate with your soul; beyond fear, even beyond death.   About Child Guided Meditation Recently I was browsing in a local bookstore looking at what was available to children on the subject of meditation and guided imagery. I found one book. I asked the manager if she was aware of any other resources. She said that although it is so needed for children, there really wasn't anything else available. That's when I decided I could make a difference. I am a professional Social Worker and used to work directly with children of all ages. I have written Guided Meditations for children so that they can learn to relax; become more grounded and centered. Parents attend these sessions with their children in order to benefit from learning techniques to use at home.

Mandala Exploration The Dalai Lama says that "when a mandala is constructed, something in the atmosphere changes and peace is created." (Mandala , 2006, page xvii) In its psychological meaning, the mandala is an image of the soul of the creator. A mandala is a plan, chart or geometric pattern which represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the universe from the human perspective. The mandala, is an ancient symbol and concentric map of the psyche, has been used by various cultures around the world, including Tibetan Buddhists, Aborigines, and Native Americans. This workshop will introduce you to the mandala, and through it, to the mystery of the soul and the passionate world of the inner artist. It offers a supportive initiation for all participants, regardless of experience, to open to their natural creativity through art, meditation, and music. Within the Parent Child, participants will create mandalas using various mediums and begin a process of learning, growing, and healing; reinforcing the bonds between parents and their children Come to a deeper understanding of your own creative forces. Mandala exploration can open your eyes in a heart-and-soul-connected way to see and feel things you may never have experienced before. Fincher (1991) states, "healing, self - discovery and personal growth are invited when we make spontaneous creation of color and form within a circle. With care and attention we can learn the symbolic language of the mandala and go deeper into the meaning of who we really are (p. 25)."     About Integrated Wellness   In 2008 I was introduced to this beautiful and gentle practice and have been using it consistently ever since.
