“What 9 months does for the growing embryo, 40 early mornings does for your awakening soul.” – version of Jelaluddin Rumi by Coleman Barks

40 Minutes of Meditation

In the depth of winter we rejuvenate our souls and selves by sitting together in relaxed, awake awareness.

Disrobing the day and impressions we carry, we are able to enter into quiet contemplation more and more easefully each breath.

By exercising the muscles of concentration, contemplation, meditation, and realization, we bring the infinite well of possibilities into our own daily lives, becoming renewed and centered in purposeful flow with all of life, of which we are so lucky to be a part.

 40 minutes of sitting, with some guided meditation practices for the first 5-10 minutes, to enter and delve into the rich illuminated silence of breath, heart, in presence.

 Practices drawn from the universalist Sufi Inayati tradition, in addition to others, poems, and contemplative words.

Please practice on your own with take-home practices on days we do not meet. More meditations available from world teachers during this time at  https://feastforthesoul.org
