"A river that flows through many branches will not have a powerful current. If the branches are redirected and the river is redirected to flow only through the main stream, the force of the current will increase greatly. It may even be possible to generate electricity from such a strong current. Similarly, at present our mind is flowing out towards hundreds of sense objects. If the mind is controlled and focused on one point, tremendous power will be generated, which can be used to do wonderful things." ~Amma

Please join us Saturday for a guided IAM-35 meditation session at 2:30 pm CT (open to IAM-35 course graduates only). You can join in-person in the South Lodge Community room or via Zoom. 

If you'd like to join virtually, or if you have any questions, please email maccmeditation@macenters.org.
