Family Meditation Time: a moment of peace from the chaos of life!

A family with three boys under the age of six took a moment for stillness, quiet, and connection to self during an in-home family meditation class.

I arrived at the family’s home early Saturday morning. I was greeted by two boys ages 6 and 4 playing with their children’s golf clubs in excitement for their upcoming family vacation. Their mom was holding their sleeping three-month-old brother.

The mom and dad invited me to teach the Sanctuary Meditation Technique in hopes they could start a family tradition of meditating on weekends and before bedtime. I’ve taught the class to kids and adults many times, but never a combined family meditation with different levels of understanding. I didn’t know what to expect, but I followed the kids’ lead!

The boys wanted to sit on the floor, their parents and I joined them. I began by teaching the class at the kids' level, but the parents also benefited from learning about the chakras and how our breath affects our ability to relax and enter a tranquil state of meditation. The take-away from the chakra breathing technique alone was huge for this family. The dad plans to use it at work when he’s stressed. The mom will use it to relax while she’s nursing her son, and they can’t wait for the boys to use this technique when it’s time to clam down before bedtime.

Next, I guided the family on a meditation journey to their sanctuary – a special place of power unique to each of them – to meet their higher-self, which provides a heightened connection to their true nature. What impressed me most was the 6 and 4-year-olds' ability to connect to their higher-self and have an uplifting experience. The mom and dad were right there with them on this meditation journey and reached a heightened state of relaxation and awareness of this higher vibration of energy.

Each of them shared their experiences:
The six-year-old said, “My sanctuary had big rocks in a circle, and my name was in the middle of it! My higher-self felt like it came in really fast.”

The four-year-old said, “I saw gold, and there was a tiger, leopard and lion, but they weren’t scary, they were my friends.”

Their dad was amazed, “That was really intense. I connected to my higher-self instantly, and I got a clear message. I wasn’t expecting that! It was incredible.”

Their parents hope to use this Sanctuary Meditation often to teach their kids the value of being still, connecting to their true self, and creating peace in their life.

It was a gift to see the meditation through the eyes of these kids, and know this family is creating a positive tradition that will serve them well as they grow in the light!

Benefits of Family Meditation:
• Model stress management for your kids.
• Put a new twist on time-outs. Use the chakra breathing techniques instead!
• Teach children an effective way to calm down before bedtime.
• Improve physical health and creative a positive emotional state.
• Discover a new way teach children about their unique self

Relief for Japan Benefit

“Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.” ~George Iles

There have been many moments throughout history across countries and cultures where hope has lit the way through darkness. In today’s world we are no longer isolated from tragic events, but see and feel the aftershock of those events across the globe. We are no longer isolated nations and countries but a global community that works together on projects in big businesses, learns together in study abroad/exchange programs, and communes together across borders on social networking sites. This boundary-less society we live in is a blessing in times of tragedy as it allows for us to band together as a human race to spread hope, love, and peace across all borders to help those in need.

Now is the time not just to react to the situations in Japan, but to be proactive in aiding them in their healing and recovery. There are many different ways to help the situation in Japan. Pray, meditate, send light and positive energy – all of these actions will assist. Donations to trustworthy relief organizations are also a great way to help those in need. A friend of ours runs The Golden Pyramid of Peace – Japan Relief fund. 100% OF ALL DONATIONS will go directly to the people of Japan immediately without any admin fees! Our friends and colleagues in Tokyo have started a benefit fund, and have personally gone deep into the disaster zones bringing life-saving water, blankets and rice. Please help them continue to do so by making a donation today!

Even though we are in Minnesota and not in the front lines of the disaster, we can still TAKE ACTION and provide relief to those in Japan.

Empower Thyself Program - A Testimonial

Read a testimonial from a client who recently took the Empower Thyself class. His words speak volumes for the way the teachings and energy you receive from class can be applied to your life:
"I was guided to True Sanctuary by a friend who told me about how I might be interested in the Modern Mystery School (MMS) teachings because of my personal spiritual goals. I spent time reviewing True Sanctuary's website where I found a lot of information on the various MMS classes they offered as well as the healing modalities they provided. I met Sarah, Jenna and Vonnie and at an expo and after only a few minutes I knew that they were very genuine and grounded in their perspective on what they had to offer me as healers and guides on my journey.

I received a Life Activation and an Emotional Cord Cutting and I immediately felt much more focused and free from nagging thoughts about various situations and people in my life. I am also a healing practitioner and after the Life Activation and Emotional Cord Cutting I noticed that my sessions were much easier in their flow and being connected to my client as well as the energy. This was a definite bonus for me and my clients.

After this experience I knew I wanted to go on to experience more of the MMS teachings so I signed up for the Empower Thyself program the next month. The class was a very intense two day course where the energy brought into the room was palpable and amazing! After this course with True Sanctuary, the level of power in the healing sessions with my clients exploded! I was so surprised at how I could connect with higher-source as well as the client with such intensity and ease. I also know that my clients could feel the intensity from the feedback they gave me. Empower Thyself was one of those incredible life-changing experiences that will unfold within me for the rest of my life. I've very much enjoyed the Meditation, Intuition Development and Sacred Geometry classes I've taken so far and I look forward to the Empower Thyself II in the near future!" ~ D.R. Energy Work Practitioner and Web Consultant

Sacred Geometry – What you need to know to enhance your home and your life!

What is Sacred Geometry?
Sacred Geometry helps you to manifest your goals and create better energy around you. The primary geometries are the sphere, cube and pyramid, which hold incredible energy that is fundamental to the structure of the Universe and to your daily life.
Sacred Geometry is about understanding how these divine shapes are the basis of all creation, and harnessing the energy of these geometries to enhance the energy of your home, office space, healing or meditation room.

Why study Sacred Geometry?
The class that I teach not only gives you more knowledge about Sacred Geometry, but I also energetically hand down keys to work with the energy of Sacred Geometry in your life. In the class you’ll awaken the three primary sacred geometries within your physical body; learn how to activate a room or a building, increasing the vibration and protection; and you’ll learn how to create a sacred space for meditation or healing work.

Who benefits from learning about Sacred Geometry?
Anyone can benefit from taking this class:
• If you’re already practicing some form of healing arts or intuitive readings this class will enhance the work you’re already doing by better protecting your space and increasing the positive energy in your space, which allows you to better flow energy to your clients.
• If you meditate, create artwork, practice yoga or tai chi – you’ll benefit from using the tools from this class to enhance the vibration in the space where you practice.
• If you’re a realtor or if you have a home you’d like to sell, this method will raise the vibration of the home, making it more appealing to the potential buyer.
• If you want to shift the energy in your home, if it feels like you need a “spring energy cleaning”, this class is for you. It’s a great way to refresh the energy in your home.
• If you feel the energy at your workspace is stagnant or negative and you want to shift it to the positive, this class will help you to do just that.

Why did you become certified to teach Sacred Geometry?
I wanted to bring this method for creating a higher vibration and more positive energy to people. I took the class myself several years ago and was really affected by how powerful the tools are. It’s not something you can learn in a book or on the internet, because this method is based on the ancient linage of the mystery school wisdom teachings, which are only handed down from teacher to student as a transfer of energy in addition to handing down knowledge.

How have you applied Sacred Geometry in your life?
I’ve used this method to sell my parent’s home, which was on the market for 9 months without any offers. I applied the techniques and the very next buyer who toured the home made an offer that day.
I’ve used these techniques to enhance the space of my office and my co-workers now gravitate to my small office for meetings instead of using a larger meeting space. They like hanging out in the energy, and if they’re not in a good mood they tend to avoid my office, which is a plus!
I use this method before I do any healing session for a client or before I teach any class, and in both cases my clients or students have commented on how nice the energy feels in the space.
I use Sacred Geometry in the space where I meditate and notice a very high connection with incredible energy and messages that come through while I meditate.

Are there advanced Sacred Geometry classes?
Yes! All of the above attributes are based on the basic level 1 class, which I teach each month. The second level is called Sacred Geometry II – Gemstone Healers class. This class teaches you how to used Sacred Geometry with crystals and gemstones for healing sessions, intuitive readings, dreamtime, and crystal gridding to further raise the energy of a space. The Sacred Geometry III class certifies you to work with clearing the aura of blockages. The Sacred Geometry IV class gives you a technique to use for raising the vibration of a space for ceremonies, family gatherings, rooms where you meditate or do any sort of healing work.
