MEDITATION AND KIRTAN

26

Enlightenment Journal | Spring 2011

The practice of meditation

 in the spiritual 

life is much like the process of digging a well for 

water that is so freely available and abundant. It 

teaches us how to awaken to the spiritual presence 

that is always there and is the real foundation of our 

existence.

As we consciously dig deep, contacting the 

spiritual depths of our own being, and invite that 

presence forth in our daily lives, it begins to bless us, 

to flower, and to bear the fruit of peace and harmony 

in all our affairs.

CSE freely offers instruction in the basic philos-

ophy and practice of meditation, including how to 

begin and maintain a regular practice. Daily medita-

tion is offered both in the morning and afternoon. 

Meditation gardens are open to the public from 

dawn to dusk. Meditation retreats are also available.

offered monthly.
