This is one of the top websites for information and instruction in health-oriented meditation and non-religious meditation. It gives basic information we believe is important for all people, regardless of their personal use of meditation. Welcome! Come in and read, listen, think, learn, and even meditate, on your own or with us. Our web's Open House is always open, "hosted" by Ted Phelps. So, drop in anytime. Browse our home page to get a feel for our message and then come in... Web Open House Our Main Message We all contain a natural ability to enter the silence, collected energy, and expanded awareness of meditation. This ability is like spring water. It belongs to all of us, not to any single culture or religion. • We all have a natural ability to meditate. And we don't just mean sitting quietly and settling down. We refer to a scientifically verifiable, profoundly significant shift that happens in the body and mind. • Since it is natural, we think all people have a right to know about it, especially to know how to let it happen within themselves. It can happen inside of religious meditations, but it doesn't have to. You can do this just to feel better and to become healthier, happier, smarter and more creative. Or just to be a nicer person to be around. • Our site is not trying to get you to "meditate our way"--or any way. We just want people to learn something basic about themselves and meditation and to be able to learn about it on their own, without traveling far or paying high fees--or joining a group, unless they want to. • At the same time, we know it takes more than a few web pages to learn an art like this. So, while we give you some meditation "snacks" to nibble on if you are hungry (as do most meditation web sites), we also give you a place to take the full course meal and some food for thought.
