Sinking into the moment
Put yourself on your altar...


Through guided meditation, Jeannie guides participants to soften and sink into the moment. She talks about the reality of our being, the way it is common among us all, and the humanness of spiritual teachers. She talks about the constant nature of our essence and that we are looking out of it all day long, but we have been conditioned to look away from the treasure within and to focus without. Jeannie talks about the importance of one's unique spiritual path and putting one's own self on own's altar. Jeannie relates her own experience of waking in the context of everyday life and motherhood.
