Dear Friend

The web has thousands and thousands of sites offering free meditation instruction, including Anam Cara's site. The key is finding good ones. Sometimes people send me links to sites that they have found are taught by skillful, practiced teachers. Since Anam Cara's mission is to make meditation instruction available to everyone here are a few good sites from a variety of approaches:

Dr. Dan Siegel
DrDanSiegel.com

Insight Meditation Society
dharma.org

Fr. Thomas Keating, Contemplative Outreach, Ltd, Centering Prayer
contemplativeoutreach.org

Jay Michaelson and non-dual Judaism

His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaching 9 round breathing to quiet the mind

 Silence
 Kali's Bazaar penned by Kalidas, p. 55



Silence

All sound arises out of Silence
and dissolves into Silence.
All thought arises out of Silence
and dissolves into Silence.
The universe arises out of Silence
and dissolves into Silence.
Suffering arises out of Silence
and dissolves into Silence.
The unbounded spaciousness of Silence,
filled with the clear light of Awareness,
dissolves the roots of pain and sorrow.
Take refuge in Silence
and know unshakeable joy.

Thank you all for your notes of appreciation for our newsletter. It's great to hear from you!

Everyone has the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an "Anam Cara." By embodying that ideal we may serve to help others to find love and compassion within themselves and the world.

Our highest nature is always manifest in relationship - to all other beings, to the environment, in relation to our own body and mind. Becoming mindful of the quality of our relationships allows us to learn where the light shines and where it needs to shine more. The ideal of Anam Cara is to continuously endeavor to expand the depth and the inclusiveness of the loving kindness we bring into every relationship, every moment, every breath.

If you have any suggestions, comments or sharings, for our newsletter please don't hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do my best to respond.
