This is an explosive subject, as any online search will verify; and, YouTube is loaded with an expansive list of options to watch. One of interest to CnA comes from the Australian Broadcasting Company, ABC-iView, uploaded to YouTube by Mindfulness 360 in Sept. 2016 under the title - The Science of Meditation. This 25-minute documentary is presented in a vivid, fast-paced, and entertaining manner. It's a well-sourced, informative, balanced look into the wide-ranging research on this subject. It gives an excellent overview of meditation in relationship to (1) brain function, (2) aging, (3) emotional well-being, and (4) physical health.

Our CnA signature meditative practice, which uses our custom 12-bead meditation strand, is closest aligned with the practice known as Metta, a Pali word which translates to the single word - “Lovingkindness.” Its goal is to cultivate a feeling of goodwill towards all living beings, starting with oneself and expanding the circle of compassion outwards. For an excellent overview, with a unique twist, consider a 22+ minute video, titled - LovingKindness in the Face of Adversity by Sharon Salzberg, a pioneer in bringing Metta Meditation to the West.

It may seem incongruent to present and facilitate a meditative practice for non-meditators, yet that is exactly CnA's mission. Why? Because, the subject of meditation can quickly become complicated and overwhelming, which can discourage people from even trying.

It may seem incongruent to present and facilitate a meditative practice for non-meditators, yet that is exactly CnA's mission. Why? Because, the subject of meditation can quickly become complicated and overwhelming, which can discourage people from even trying. A recent survey suggests that 1 in 12 Americans claims to meditate, in some form. That means that 11 of 12 don't, and that's the audience that CnA's concise, compassion-based meditation is meant to attract, encourage and support.
Our simple meditative track uses key letters and colors; it can be done in minutes, or longer, almost anytime, anywhere. Give it try and see for yourself. CnA's strands are free, so you have nothing to lose.
