Sanctuary Meditation CD

The Sanctuary’s first meditation CD: Finding Stillness, Meditations from the Sanctuary

is intended to keep your meditation practice fresh and new. Most people find that it is only after some time, that the benefits of meditation are revealed in their life, even before they fully understand what meditation is. Remember that meditation is an experience of the heart and not of the mind.

“it has often occurred to me that a seeker after truth has to be silent”
