Ilchi Lee, NY Times Bestseller, Meditation Expert and Peace Visionary to Appear Sept 7th

Tonight, I would like to share something very exciting. On September the 7th, world-renowned meditation teacher, Ilchi Lee, will give a free talk and book signing from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Ramapo College of New Jersey, for his New York Times bestseller, The Call of Sedona: Journey of the Heart.

For me this is very exciting, because Ilchi Lee is someone whom I greatly admire. Besides authoring this amazing book, he is very proactive in healing some of the most challenged places on our planet by sharing highly effective meditation techniques. The most recent example was in Monrovia, Liberia. He sent a team of meditation experts to work with the war-affected children there and the team trained the whole community, from grade schoolers to teachers; and from the Teacher College professors to the school administrators! I will write more about this soon.

In the meantime...The Call of Sedona, which was republished in July by Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, illustrates through the author’s story the personal awakenings and growth that one can achieve with a more profound connection to nature through meditation. For instance, looking at the awe-inspiring natural setting of Sedona, Lee observes:

“In Sedona, where it’s springtime now, wildflowers are blooming here and there. Some are large and some are small; some wither quickly while others last longer. There are the charming little yellow Mexican Poppies, the magnificent white Evening Primroses, and the fiery red Indian Paintbrushes. Their shapes and colors are all unique. Looking at the wildflowers, we don’t assume that the large flowers are necessarily more beautiful than the smaller ones. Nor do we think that the flowers that stay in bloom longer are somehow more excellent than the ones that fade more quickly. Large flowers are simply large, and small flowers are simply small. There is no reason to say that a flower that blooms longer is better than one that withers earlier. These things are just a matter of diversity, not an indication of superiority.

Each individual wildflower blossom that colors Sedona’s springtime is beautiful. More importantly, they all contribute to something that equals more than the sum of their parts. In Sedona there are large flowers, small flowers, flowers in full bloom, and flowers that have not yet bloomed. Some flowers are already wilted while others dance proudly in the breeze.

Sedona’s red earth embraces the roots of the wildflowers and cradles an assortment of variously shaped rocks. The bright azure sky acts as a backdrop for the flowers, the juniper trees, and the red rocks. All these things work together in perfect harmony to create the stunning beauty that Sedona offers. We are individual flowers blooming on a single tree called Life. Because each flower makes the effort to complete its own unique color, shape, and fragrance, the whole tree of Life can emanate greater vital power in all its fullness.”
