Quantum Meditation Center

Annie Gleeson

I don't remember how or why exactly I stumbled upon yoga, but I suppose I came to it like many of you did. I was athletic, I was tall, so I figured I needed to stretch. Ugh a whole hour of stretching, not a real workout. I thought it would be a chore. Although I am the furthest thing from a Yogi – I know, I know, being a Yogi isn't about how good you are, it's about your personal practice, I get it OK!  (but seriously, my poses still need some practice) – what I found through yoga was that it was really empowering. It was different from traditional sports, yet I still found myself reaping many of the same benefits, plus some! What I found was that it was both therapeutic and calming; it caused me to reflect, but in a really organic, non-threatening way. 

The thing is, I have a lot of energy and as much as I love yoga, I also love to hike and surf and run, and I can't commit to yoga everyday. What I can commit to is meditation. Meditation can be done in those in between moments – whether you're in a guided meditation or simply taking a moment before you start another busy day, meditation is totally accessible for everyone.

The best part is, it does't have to feel like a chore. You don't need to buy another membership and transform your life with the swipe of a credit card. All you need to do is come join us; come sit on the beach and hang out. The QMC makes everyone feel welcome. You can come every week or once a month, whatever works for you. I just encourage you to try, even just once. You may just learn how to find that sense of inner peace. Slowly, you may just feel that sense of serenity overflowing into all aspects of your life.
