Tony Wallace.....Meditating with Quieting The Busy Mind is easy and effective for people who are new to meditation, while still accommodating those who have already made it a part of their daily lives. The first track introduces you to methods and philosophy. The second track guides you into the meditation, accompanied by Tony Wallace’s carefully crafted score. During your first two or three sessions, take the time to listen to the entire program. Once you are comfortable, you can start directly from the second track. At that point, you’ll only need to set aside about 25 minutes a day to meditate.

Agnes Stassen, who is a Pilates participant at LWP, has been working hard to organize this year's Christmas fund raiser, Christmas Wonders 2007, for Kerr Street Ministries. Kerr Street Ministries is a non-denominational organization that serves the vulnerable and disenfranchised of Oakville who, for a multitude of reasons, are not always able to provide for themselves or their families.
It's hard to imagine that
Oakville, one of Canada's wealthiest and most
blessed towns, has more than 10,000 people who live below the poverty
line. If you, your
family or your organization would like to sponsor a family or donate toys,
clothing, gift vouchers, groceries and food vouchers you may contact Kerr
Street Ministries at agnes@kerrstreet.com
