Shirley's Story

I'm a Yankee from New York State, born in Elmira, NY, raised in Amherst, NY.  I finished college in Ithaca, NY at Cornell University with a B.S. in Microbiology.

 I am and have been:

1. a wife and a mother                        

2. a medical technician, health education editor

3. a consulting firm proposal administrator

4. a piano player and singer/songwriter

5. an intuitive counselor and metaphysical student

6. a meditator for 30 years.

My story begins in my younger days when I suffered the effects of several disorders. In an effort to help myself more than my doctors could, I decided to seek out other ways of healing myself.  I knew that meditation helped the body so I tried many well-known meditation techniques over the course of several years.  While I did get limited relief I felt that it wasn’t nearly enough so I started a search for better ways to meditate.

After trying several obscure meditation approaches I came to a stand still.  I began thinking about what else I could do so much so that it consumed most of my days and nights.  Then, one day, I felt a sudden surge of energy and saw an explosion of indescribable light.   I knew this was My Awakening -

In a moment’s time the whole process was laid out before me!

I started immediately using these techniques and in a short time began feeling the benefits of my methods - vastly reduced levels of stress, a clear and focused mind, new energy throughout my body, and a sense of healing and rejuvenation like I had not experienced before.

As my friends and family noticed my increased vigor and calm mood they asked me to teach them how to get the same results in an easy and efficient manner.  Thus was born Seven Minute Meditation.
