Search - Mary Maddux and Richard Maddux :: Silence of Being: Guided Meditations for Inner Peace -- New Expanded Version

The Silence of Being CD restores a sense of peace in the midst of the stress of life. It provides an easy, effortless way to achieve a meditative state and is an excellent companion for daily meditation practice. Inspired by the overwhelmingly positive response to her "Ease of Being" CD, Mary Maddux developed the Silence of Being for those who wished to go deeper with the meditative experience. Its very subtle instructions gently encourage the mind to let go of its usual outer-directed focus and experience the silent awareness. Unlike meditations which keep the mind focused on images, the body or the breath, this guided meditation allows the mind to relax completely, creating an open, expanded state of awareness. In this relaxed state, thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations are allowed to come and go without resistance, creating an experience of complete acceptance. Regular use of this meditation helps develop a peaceful mind and an open heart. The CD contains two versions of the meditation -- one with and one without music. The music is gentle and soothing, far in the background to facilitate meditation without being distracting. The CD also contains a written Question and Answer section to help the listener get maximum benefit from the CD.
