		<description>Maria, you are so right about meditation! There is a reason they call it &quot;practice&quot; - it does take practice to learn to empty yourself and be open to the fullness that follows. I try to sit daily, at least for a little bit, and longer once a week. I DOES help to keep me centered and more aware of each moment, and I tend to be more mindful in my actions.

I thought some of your readers might be interested in a guided healing meditation that I did for a friend with ALS (Lou Gehrig&#039;s) - perhaps it can bring some pain relief to others. Bless you for sharing all that you do - you are helping others to succeed in many ways! Here&#039;s the link to my meditation: right-click on the &quot;enlightenment&quot; file to save it, or just click on it to play it. It is 20 minutes long.</description>

		<description>I have great memories of John Denver songs.  Once while in Madrid, a local there was excited to meet someone who spoke English, and he had me singing John Denver songs all night!  it was hilarious.

		<description>You are one of a kind, Maria, otherwise you would not have written such an amazing post about your experiences with meditation. Fabulous! I encourage you to keep up the great work you are doing.

I don&#039;t know why, but reading this (one of your older posts) reminded me of one of my heroes--the late, great John Denver. My intuition tells me you may have already come across some of his moving songs.

Unfortunately, Denver passed away years ago in a tragic plane crash.
Those of us who adored him felt almost as if we had lost a best friend. Your post reminded me of Denver and his musical genius because of your spiritual retreat in Colorado, the abode of Denver.

Although Denver appeared in several Hollywood movies and on TV shows too, I think he will be best remembered for his lyrics, songs.

Denver had a way of conveying complex ideas in simple language. Denver&#039;s music pulled at your heart-strings, directly and without any pretensions. It would be great if you could buy one of Denver&#039;s albums/CD and have your young son listen to the songs of Denver.
It&#039;s a good idea to introduce our very young people to old and forgotten heroes. Sometimes, it helps to re-visit the past and help the new generation understand what a great time some of us have lived through. For me, Denver was like meditation itself--very soulful.</description>
