Dear Tuesday night GUIDED MEDITATIONS class,

Thanks so much for attending last week, I look forward to seeing you all
again tonight at 7 pm.
I hope you have been trying to practice meditation at home this past week.
Feel free to invite new friends to join us tonight and/or next Tuesday 7 pm
@ Dallas Meditation Center, 727 S. Floyd Rd., Richardson, TX 75080.
Suggested donation: $20+ per class (no one turned away for lack of funds).

Tonight and next week, we will go over some more guided meditation processes
like last week, such as Infinite Light visualization, healing energy,
lovingkindness "metta" meditation, body awareness,
flower/mountain/water/space reflections, and meditations for manifesting
abundance, etc.

The format may be something like this (which many have told me is very nice
due to the combination effect):

7:00 Introduction
7:10 Resting Meditation - guided & silent
7:40 Walking Meditation - guided & silent
7:50 Sitting Meditation - guided & silent
8:10 Mindful Movement
8:20 Teachings, Q & A
8:50 Sharing & Discussion
9:00 End

Here is a helpful (and hip & humorous) video on sitting postures for
meditation --

Some authors who have some good books and CD's out there for traditional
guided meditations are:

Jack Kornfield
Sharon Salzberg
Jon Kabat-Zinn

Here is an article on Lovingkindness Meditation as taught by Tibetan
Buddhist master Tulku Thondup --

Kelly Howell has some helpful guided meditation CD's, but my favorite is her
"Deeper Meditation" CD which does not have any words, but the tones actually
do help me go into a deep state very easily (if you want to meditate while
you sleep, try her excellent CD called "The Secret Universal Mind Meditation
II") --
