[symple_divider style=”solid” margin_top=”10px” margin_bottom=”10px”] Meditation Mount was the creative idea of Florence Garrigue who lived at the Mount and oversaw all activities. The facilities were completed in 1971 under the direction of Zelma Wilson, Architect. coque iphone 6 Zelma sought to make the buildings reflect the spirit of the participants, and serve as highly functional structures attuned to their setting. Grant Castleberg of Santa Barbara served as landscape architect for the center. Florence, the Mount’s founder, came to Ojai in 1968 to establish a center for the work of Meditation Groups, Inc. which she had begun 10 years earlier in New York City. coque iphone xs max After selection of the site in the east end of the valley, she worked closely with Ojai architect Zelma Wilson in planning the beautiful Tibetan – style buildings and arranging the financing of the project with generous gifts from people who believed in the work of the organization. The center at the end of Reeves Road then became known as “Meditation Mount.” Their purpose was the fostering of meditation to benefit the world. They achieved this by using small booklets written on various aspects of spiritual topics, sending them by mail to individuals in a rhythmic pattern of every two months. Taking a step back into Florence’s past we can see how all of this evolved.

After 10 years there, she and a group of friends started the School for Esoteric Studies in New York which is still active. coque iphone 8 She then became a member of a small informal group of individuals from several countries who met in England for the purpose of fostering meditation to benefit the world. They achieved their purpose by using small booklets written on various aspects of spiritual topics, sending them by mail to individuals in a rhythmic pattern of every two months. It was from this group and its concept that she returned and founded the US branch of Meditation Groups, Inc. Many of the booklets were written by Roberto Assagioli, an Italian Psychologist whose lifework was to bring meditation and spirituality into the realm of psychology and human development. In the mid 1990′s the distribution of meditation booklets was discontinued. Since that time Meditation Mount has functioned an educational center offering spiritual programs that enhance the awakening of the human soul in all aspects of social endeavor. coque iphone 8 Daily and Monthly Full Moon meditations continue to be an important part in the daily rhythm in the Mount’s life.

When we emerge, strengthened, we can act in the world from a place of love and compassion, seeing all beings and things not as “coming at us” but as coming from us — phantoms arising from our own past actions. Through this kindheartedness, we perceive all as holy beings, each providing us with infinite opportunities to bestow the blessings of kindness and compassion. –Sharon Gannon

Leila Stuart, Centerpoint Yoga Therapy
A Message from Leila Stuart… I have been a student of yoga for over 35 years and a teacher since 1993. coque iphone pas cher Drawing on my passion for anatomy and my background as a Registered Massage Therapist specializing in structural realignment and movement repatterning, I have developed a transformational system of therapeutic yoga called Centerpoint Yoga Therapy, which caters to students with physical, mental and spiritual challenges. In classes and workshops, my focus is to create the conditions for students to experience their wholeness by exploring experiential anatomy and the interplay between awareness, gentle movement and breath. coque iphone By cultivating a felt sense of their “living” anatomy and inherent body wisdom, students can apply this intelligence in a practical way to their own healing process. coque iphone 2019 pas cher In my yoga therapy classes, I invite students to make yoga a living transformational process by asking them to practice “off the mat.” I strongly believe that the whole being in all dimensions must be engaged in order for healing to happen; this can occur when awareness is cultivated on a moment-to-moment basis. coque iphone I also strongly believe that the deeper teachings of yoga can be embodied so as to become a daily transformational experience. I had firsthand experience of the transformational potential of this practice when I developed a debilitating fatigue condition in 2001 and crippling rheumatoid-type arthritis in 2005. For 10 years, I was unable to do anything but the simplest, minimal physical practice; I was so grateful for all of the yoga therapy tools that I knew. It was awareness, meditation and the practice of Witness Consciousness that kept me going and prevented me from living in despair. coque iphone I was always able to do SOMETHING that would bring about some change in what I was experiencing. During this time, yoga transformed from a theoretical practice into an absolutely practical, lived experience.
