FROM THE HEART
    Greetings friends,
    This weekend I attended an Alcoholics Anonymous spiritual retreat. The
    theme of the retreat was "conscious contact" with God. There was 24
    recovering men in attendance. The facilitators introduced us to Christian
    meditation Friday evening. Over the weekend we met several times to
    meditate using the MA RA NA THA mantra.

    I'm new to this type of meditation even though I have been a Christian
    for many years. When I arrived on Friday I felt very scattered and
    off-center. By mid -Sunday, when the retreat ended, I left feeling
    spiritually renewed and aware of God's presence within and around me.
    All of the men in attendance were blessed by the experience and I'm sure
    that many of them will continue to explore this type of meditation.

    I plan on dropping in to some of the meditation meetings in the Toronto
    area. Maybe I will even start my own meeting to help others in recovery.I
    will also continue to meditate on my own to deepen my fellowship with
    God. In the meantime, this site has offered me the necessary info to start
    this journey.

    On behalf of the men at the retreat I would like to thank our
    facilitators, Charles and George, for leading us in a gentle, loving manner
    into the presence of God. Also, I would like to thank Adam for making it
    possible for me to be there.

    Feel free to publish my email address and please send me a copy of the
    published article. Many thanks.
