Just Be Meditation, LLC

“I have two beautiful children, a family that loves and supports me, and friends that enrich my life. Yet for all my blessings, under the surface there has been a deep fear that I wasn’t a good enough, a feeling that life could be better if only I could tap into SOMETHING that would bring me out of my fear and into my joy. I spent years searching through books and videos, trying to find that magic key that would unlock me from some of the destructive patterns in my life. I had knowledge of how I ‘should’ think, what I ‘should’ do, and yet I couldn’t make it work in my life, I was stuck and growing frustrated… until I found my way to Just Be.

Just BE… Two incredibly powerful words taught to me by my gifted teacher, Eden. For me, to Just Be means to be completely invested in each moment, to bring my full awareness to whatever is happening to me, around me, and inside of me. It is in that awareness that I’ve found my magic key. Yes I still have fear sometimes, but it no longer paralyzes me. If I feel I’m not good enough, I know the energy I give it is instrumental in how quickly it dissipates and to Just Be gentle with myself. In my work with Eden, I’ve learned to listen to my inner voice, to Just Beaware and authentic with myself and with others, and that I am strong enough to conquer anything ~ I am powerful!!!  I’ve always loved the quote ‘when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change,’ but it wasn’t until my experience with Eden and my fellow classmates that it became a reality for me. I am forever grateful for the growth and healing Eden has brought to me, and for showing me the way to Just Be.

“I originally took up meditation to quiet ‘my monkey mind,’ and I wanted and needed to quiet the constant thinking and was hoping meditation would produce some peace. Through mindful practice, under the guidance of Eden, I am learning how to quiet my mind and take ownership of my true thoughts, feelings, motivations and desires. I’ve not only acquired peace but also the bonus of self-discovery! Whoa! I wasn’t expecting the joy of getting to know the real me. I am living more of an authentic and expressive life. I’m learning to be more patient, to trust, to truly share myself, to be open, to laugh, to cry, to listen, to be quiet, to just be. Acknowledging he truth of my emotions has given me freedom, joy, peace and happiness.

I’ve had the joy and privilege of being a student of Eden’s and will be eternally thankful for her loving kindness, her gentleness and her intuitiveness. Ahhh, Eden, you are truly one of my life’s blessings!”

“This unique method of meditation has been incredibly healing for me. Eden has amazing abilities that she uses with care and compassion for each individual student. As she and I have worked together there is no doubt my son is being brought closer to me. He died fifteen years ago. Releasing energy that blocked my connection with Scott has been very unexpected. I am so grateful for the wonderful outcome. I feel more at peace and have a deeper respect for the body, mind and soul connection that I had been ignoring for years. Thank you, Eden.”

“Eden’s process for group work is extremely original and effective. She is able to lead groups through a process that combines meditation and energy work so participants are able to recognize their spiritual and physical needs for healing. Through the group, then, she empowers people to bring healing to others. Eden is a dynamic leader in groups. She has the ability to perceive people’s spiritual strengths and weaknesses, and she gently guides them towards wholeness and healing.”

“I have been doing energetic meditation with Eden for nearly a decade. No matter how prepared I think I am for the results, I’m always amazed at the clearing, cleansing and clarity that happens after a session. She has helped me find areas of “stuck” energy, that I didn’t realize were bogging me down. She has helped clarify these stuck places in my daily life, my mind, my physical body and my spirit while gently guiding me to look within for the answers. She is a catalyst for me to do my own work, and guide on the side as I navigate deeper meaning in my life. She will push me when I need pushing and cheer me on when I’ve made profound discoveries. She has just the right touch (literally and figuratively) to guide people through different situations. What she can “see” continues to blow me away. She has not only worked with me, but my family members and many of my friends. At the end of a session with Eden, everyone always leaves with a deeper feeling of meaning, intention, understanding and direction in their life or of a particular situation.”

“What do you have to look forward to in Eden’s classes? In my experience, it has been:
-Some rather difficult inner work.
-Deep cleansing and profound resolution of problems that have hindered me for most of my life.
-Incredible love and bonding with my classmates and with Eden herself.
-Discovery of beautiful gifts and treasures that were buried under my ‘dirt.’
Eden works with the energies, the most fundamental level of the problems. When the energy is cleared, not only is the problem gone; treasures I didn’t know I had are set free. She is truly gifted, compassionate and wise. And, I feel like a new person.”

“Ghandi said, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’ That is what meditation has taught me. I have changed the way I view my life, my family, and most of all, myself. I have changed my behavior, my thinking, my wants and needs, and I know now that I need to take care of me. If everyone gave themselves as much care, respect, acceptance and love to themselves as they did to the people they take care of – the world would be a wonderful place.”

“I was trying to find the perfect words to describe meditation which was more difficult than I thought because it has done so much for me. So one day after a long, stressful couple of weeks, I couldn’t wait to get back to our weekly meditation class. I was sitting there after a meditation completely at peace and relaxed when the movie Jerry McGuire came into my thoughts with the popular phrase, ‘You complete me!’ I thought that is it!  Meditation ‘completes me.’ Now of course, this couldn’t have happened without Eden’s guidance, acceptance and trust as our teacher. To get to that peace and relaxation you really have to clear your energy and get rid of so many of the things we accumulate and carry through our life experiences. Things that we really need to release and let go of to move forward. It is moving through all of this that really brings us the contentment and clarity we seek.

I was fortunate to start Eden’s class almost three years ago. It has been one of the most enlightening and ‘authentic’ journeys of my life. It has helped me get back to what is really important, to trust my instincts and to let go of things. Meditation is so much more than you could ever imagine. It heals your mind, your body and your soul if you just take the time to let it. It also reminds you how important it is to look after yourself and to treat yourself with love, acceptance and kindness the same way we extend that kindness to others. When I look back at all the others things that I have tried that I thought could really make me feel better and ‘be’ better, I have found that this is it. This will be one of the most worthwhile ‘works’ of your life!”
