Elisabeth's reflections on the benefits of meditation

Quote from a Prominent Neurologist on Meditation

Posted: 23 Apr 2009

Dr Enescu is a prominent neurologist in New Jersey. He was interviewed in the book, ‘Choices and Illusions’ by Eldon Taylor. (Published 2007)

When asked, “Why do you believe meditation to be so important?” he answered,

“We cannot progress with spirituality without learning about meditation. Meditation is so much more important than just relaxing, and it is different from praying. I was brought up as a Greek Orthodox Christian, and they believe in praying a lot. However, I see praying as “speaking to God,” whereas meditation is “listening to God.” Most people simply do not want to spend time working in something that seems so ambiguous, but the rewards are there for those who do.”

Thank you Elisabeth for the audio meditations, at first , I thought another site for meditatons, so what's so special about this one---- but this is by far the best, better than the cds I bought. Your voice, & the simplicity of everything is terrific.

It's working for me, I feel so calm & peaceful, I'm meditating every day now, whereas before, I'd do it & then couldn't be bothered keeping it up.

Again thank you for sharing.

I'd like to thank you, Elisabeth, for your excellent audio programs. So far i have used the 5 day trial and also met my guardian angel! The meditation was so vivid, colourful and lifelike that i've sketched (and im usually a really bad artist) my guardian angel that i met. I'm so grateful fo your work- I feel that relatively soon i will find inner peace and compassion. thank you.

I'm amazed that such a simple process can be so effective - this course made me feel great!

I felt very positive and relaxed after doing the Learn How to Meditate course. I've tried meditating before but found it difficult. I like the way your course breaks it down into bite-size chunks. I feel clearer now and confidant that meditation is within my reach.
