Amos has spent much of his life studying and practicing Contemplatice and Centering Prayer.
In his own words:
"In my late teens and twenties I was a backpacker and mountain climber. Often times on mountain vistas I had an unmistakable intense feeling that I was part of something sacred and mysterious that was much larger than myself. This led me to explore meditation and Quaker Silent Meetings for Worship.
In 1999 I met the founder of Contemplative Outreach, Thomas Keating. Keating told me, " If you practice Centering Prayer for at least forty minutes a day and if you do extended retreats you will make progress." Throughout my life I gravitated toward athletics and was a competitive wrestler. So, in 1999 I applied my athletic discipline to Centering Prayer, rarely missing the forty minutes a day or the extended yearly retreats.
Through Centering Prayer the tensions I held in my body dissipated and my entire nervous system gradually healed (a tall order for Westerners amped up on caffeine and a go-go-go lifestyle).
The healing effects of Centering Prayer are the saving grace of my life. So, now I feel compelled to share it with others."
This is an episode that could change your life.
