The Meditation Format

Shulamit begins each meditation with a brief teaching. Following the teaching, participants will set a prayerful focus to connect to the highest reality. Our intention is to experience the peace that is at the core of our existence, and release creative powers to deal with pressing issues.

The meditation will last approximately 15-20 minutes and will follow this format:

Shulamit will begin the meditation with Sound Prayer, intoning sacred sounds.
After the Sound Prayer invocation, Shulamit will create and hold a meditative space in silence, a space into which you are invited to enter.
After a period of silence, Shulamit will resume intoning. You are now invited to join your voices to hers.
When Shulamit is finished intoning, there will be a moment or two of silence allowing participants to follow their breath and leave the meditative space.
Shulamit will end the meditation by saying "Blessings." That is the signal to disconnect from the call.

Preparation for The Meditation

To prepare, be quiet for a few minutes before and remain quiet a few minutes after the meditation. After resuming normal activity, drink water and remain in a calm state. You might feel more than usually sensitive.
