Meditation and Contemplation

Several hours of meditation and contemplation are a major part of my daily practice. It is through those practices that I listen for guidance and where I find peace, joy and contentment. I arrive at a place of inner silence regardless of the chaos that surrounds me in the world at large. I generally begin by focusing on the peace and presence of my own breathing and then allow my thoughts to wander to life’s events, peace, love and gratitude. "It [inner silence] is to establish an inner peace, an inner harmony, which will allow us authentically to contribute to the establishment of an outer peace and an outer harmony in the world at large."
