About Me

"Breathing Meditations" is a collaboration between a poet in Tennessee, USA and an Enneagram teacher in Lancashire, UK. They have never met in the "real world", communicating only through cyberspace. It began in the virtual reality of Second Life when they got together to lead meditations at Mystic Academy for the many avatars seeking a spiritual dimension to their virtual experience.In spite of its high-tech roots, "Breathing Meditations" has quite a natural feel. Both Baji and Jane believe in the importance of grounding yourself in the physical world and as its title suggests, the meditations focus on breathing, centring and grounding.About the artists:Born the spring before the Summer of Love, Baji has spent her life wandering in search of love and beauty while scribbling poetry. Her greatest loves are cats, trees, water, the poetry of Pablo Neruda, and the vastness of the universe. Jane likes the sound of water and the scent of hyacinths. She was told to find her voice by Enneagram guru David Daniels and this is where the search has led her.Baji appeared the Early Show on CBS in a piece on therapy in Second Life. Here it is:Although it has been up for a while, we have only just found out about this great Canadian iMix of healing, meditative tracks which includes one of our meditations. If you are in Canada check it out and if you like it let the mix artist know by voting for it...
