The True HeArt of Meditation
​"There is a place between voice and presence
where information flows.
In disciplined silence it opens...."
Rumi
​
Finding Stillness Within
Meditation is the mindful awareness of stillness. Achieved through quieting the mind, the Soul source within each of us is revealed during these disciplined silent moments. For centuries, Hindu Yogis and Tibetan and Japanese Buddhists, devoted their lives to finding happiness and health through the yoga of meditation. With commitment and practice, we can all discover that same sense of deep peace…when our vital, creative energy becomes a source of wisdom. We begin to feel the oneness of Nature in a personal way. Becoming mindful, moment to moment, as we choose each step, we learn a path towards true happiness. Lia introduces you to meditation practice with a focus on how the breath, mantra, and quiet posture of the body, all work together to create stillness of the mind. Her approach to meditation has been formed over 40 years of devout Buddhist practice. She understands that meditation has to work for those of us living busy lives. Even Zen walking (kinhin) is practiced in a way that can become part of a daily meditation. Finding Stillness is not an elusive prospect. It requires only determination to practice and an open Heart. With the foundational tools of this HeArt Centered practice, you become your own guide to knowing peace of mind, giving Life an opportunity to respond with harmony and balance…and unlimited potential for joy becomes a choice, not a wish.

Sound Bath
Come relax and unwind with the healing vibrations of quartz crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, drums and chimes.
​​
Everything in the universe is composed of energy. As such, everything has a natural frequency vibration. Energy, light, atoms, molecules, and even our planet are vibrating at specific frequencies and thus producing “sound”. This includes every living cell in our bodies as well as the energy centers known as Chakras. Just like a musical instrument that emits sound, our chakras and our cells can either be in tune or out of tune.
Every cell and chakra center is naturally tuned to maintain well being and health. But physical, mental and environmental factors can interfere and cause these vibrations to go out of tune and into a state of imbalance. Crystal Singing Bowls are tuned to the body’s Chakra centers so, much like a tuning fork causes resonance to adjacent objects, when played, they help tune chakra centers to resonate in their proper, natural state. In doing so, they allow for the free flow of energy throughout the body, mind and spirit.
