How to Take Charge of Your Purpose in Life - I Did!
By: Jonni Gray    Monday, May 21, 2012
As a doctor of transpersonal psychology, a spiritual modern meditation teacher and past-life regression trainer, I offer expert guidance at the intersection of psychology and spirituality. I can't believe I've been doing this for 20+ years, and I still absolutely LOVE it! As a young teenager, I started exploring the world of spirituality, psychology, and reincarnation through the many fascinating books I virtually inhaled in smelly, dusty second-hand bookstores. I needed to understand what I was feeling, sensing, and recalling. Yes, recalling. (Something I now know as 'spontaneous recall'.) ...Read More
Is Your Type-a Personality Getting in the Way of Your Meditation Efforts?
By: Jonni Gray    Friday, May 04, 2012
The Type-A personality is all masculine and goal-oriented, and therefore has pretty high 3-dimensional expectations. And since meditation has more of a feminine orientation - experience rather than accomplishment - it can be difficult to appease the Type-A. Yet it's because of the typical imbalance that the Type-A needs the feminine access. Our feminine side is all about senses, depth, experience, emotional, engagement, present moment, and our masculine is about direction, goals, future, projection, physical. Love is an experience of our feminine. And meditation and love have even more in ...Read More

By: Jonni Gray    Thursday, Apr 19, 2012
I bet you know there is more to life than meets the eye (1). And I also bet you want to understand its secrets, its depth, its essence (2). You want more clarification and understanding of what’s happening in your life (3) and what’s preventing you from creating the life you want (4). So what’s your greatest challenge?

Conditions: detoxification
The Power of “Cortical Folding” aka “Gyrification” In terms of brain health, what exactly is “cortical folding” or “gyrification” and how does it increase your mental capacity? These questions may seem to address complex issues best left to neuroscience, except for one simple practice that directly relates to them: meditation. Researchers have been studying the effects of meditation on the brain for decades, and have come to some important conclusions that may offer further motivation and inspiration for regular—and certainly for ...Read More
Primortial Sound Meditation
By: Jamie Kurten    Friday, Apr 13, 2012
Conditions: Stress, and Emotional Pain
Primortial Sound Meditation is Mantra meditation, as many forms of meditation are. What separates PSM from the other types is by how each students Mantra is chosen specifically for them. From the Moons location and the student's date, time, and place of the students birth, and an ancient form of Vedic Mathmatics the Mantra is chosen. Chosen from a 108 possible vibrational tones, that was present at their birth. This Mantra is never shared by the student, and therefore will be his personsl vehicle of the mind for the practice of Meditation. Thank-you, Namaste, JamieRead More
Top 10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Meditation Practice
By: Jonni Gray    Friday, Mar 30, 2012
Trying to meditate after consuming several caffeinated drinks usually doesn’t work out well. Breathe slowly, with your eyes open, for a half a minute or so. Then let them soften their focus as you gaze at nothing. Then close your eyes. Don’t over-think meditating. Just meditate. Stay open. Don’t think you know what the meditation means, or is all about, while you’re in it. Wait till afterwards to do that. Just stay engaged with it while it’s going on. The warm up is the breathing; the heart is the exercise. It’s easier to “get in” if you go in ...Read More
Teaching Children How to Clear Their Minds

Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
Consider what thoughts sprout in your mind during a typical day. You spend some of our day thinking about what you are doing in the present moment, yet, you might be surprised how little time you actually devote to this. Some thoughts occur on purpose, using our conscious attention. For other thoughts, we do not decide to think them; they simply live in our minds. We spend endless hours on these mind-wandering thoughts. Our stream of consciousness is simply a flowing series of thoughts running through our minds. Many people’s stream of consciousness takes the form of an internal ...Read More
Meditating with Your Child a Practice Based on Our Ten Sense
By: Sarah Valley    Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012
Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
Aristotle defined the five senses we all understand today. Our five senses are smell, hearing, taste, sight and touch. These senses allow us the witness beauty, help us learn new things and let us know what is happening in our environment. They also play an important role in meditation and other inward focused activities such as yoga. Relying on our senses during meditation helps us find our focus and adds an element of excitement. I call this sensational meditation. This practice is as easy as listening to a soothing bell sound or imagining a tree in your mind, making it a perfect practice ...Read More

Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
A meditation movement for children is quietly emerging across the United States and throughout the world. Children are learning meditation techniques at home, in school, in after-school clubs, and in churches, yoga studios and YMCAs. Parents, teachers, and therapists are finding that meditation helps children in as many ways as there are children learning its techniques. Teachers report that their classroom environments are more peaceful with meditation. They attribute this to their students’ ability to express care and compassion for one another. Teachers also say their students’  ...Read More
Introducing Meditation to Children
By: Sarah Valley    Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012
Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
Children are naturally good meditators, therefore, introducing your child to this fabulous new world of experience is quite easy. Many adults are skeptical about a child’s ability to meditate because many adults find it difficult to sit down and focus. But children love meditation—it allows them to use their creative imaginations without limitation. Although they might be sitting still, their minds are in Technicolor overdrive at a level many grownups have forgotten is possible. Children do not require a dark, quiet room or a place free from distractions when they meditate. ...Read More
