Centering Prayer is a method of Christian meditation which places a strong emphasis on interior silence. Contemplative prayer opens the mind to God beyond thoughts, words, and emotions.

Reset, relax, and recharge on the iconic red root chakra sofas from bliss that Marc is storing for our new place. Don't you deserve one hour of aaaah in your week? Of course, you do! Being stressed out and constantly on the go is not healthy for mind, body, or spirit. This guided meditation is designed to reset your stress meter to zero. Sitting still and closing your eyes are the only two skills required.

I came to Charleston, SC, from LA, California, in 1970 with a vision of making a difference in a town that I perceived to be 50 years behind in its collective consciousness from what I had experienced in LA. I completed my Ph.D. research at MUSC, where I studied the (calming) of the orienting response (startle response) in children—a neurological requirement for all ensuing learning and successful adaptation. This led to my starting Pie-in-the-Sky, an open-classroom preschool where I could observe the natural learning behaviors in children. The school was a subsidiary of Further, Inc. that organized and operated the HOTLINE of Charleston, a suicide prevention center. My private psychotherapy practice specializes in the diagnosis and remediation of Learning Disabilities in children and writing educational plans for LD children. I became a Teaching Member of the International Transactional Analysis Association (based on Carl Jung’s theory and practices of clinical ego analysis and therapy). I applied TA toward the collaborative practices required for reaching mediated settlements in divorce cases. Parents were better than the Family Courts in prescribing how to separate their assets and debts and how best to raise their children after divorce. At the same time, I became involved in establishing the Hospice of Charleston, a caring service where people could prepare to transition from their life consciously and conscientiously.

I took a sabbatical to study the application of Buddhism in my psychotherapy practice, and at the same time, I began my study of A Course in Miracles. I realized that all diseases of the mind and body start in conflict within the mind and body and between egos identified with fear and struggling with the illusion of separation from one’s wholeness while identifying with the unforgiven and unforgiving, fearful, false self (ego identity) and struggling with issues of loneliness, alienation, and betrayal incurred along the way. For 10 years, I taught a course at the College of Charleston, “States of Consciousness,” that traced how Western thought systems maintained the notion of the separated, rational mind practices that maintained the illusion of
a separated, quantifiable, objective reality, whereas Eastern thought practices of meditation and yoga could lead one to experiences of integration and extended consciousness.

A midlife Vision Quest showed me that the practices of self-analysis in human nature, mediating between the inner reality of mind and body and the outer reality of having to adapt to the man-made reality, were supported with meditation and deep breathing and a prayer life of Serenity and Gratitude that includes the acceptance and forgiveness of our destructive habits (much like the AA 12-Steps) and can bring us to our peace of mind and realization (Wisdom) of our purpose for which our natural lives were designed while we live our brief time on earth.

I consider myself an evolutionary humanist, a more holistic practitioner than the behavioral ego psychologist I was taught to be in my limited training as a clinical psychologist. However, a course in Existential Psychology inspired me to seek my identity by searching and identifying the meaning and purpose of my life.
