Dear San Diego Community,

We are so sorry to inform you that unfortunately,

the San Diego Meditation Center will be CLOSED

starting 3/18/2020 until 4/1/2020.

We will continue to host guided meditation over the phone and through video conference call using the app Zoom, as noted in the previous post yesterday. We understand the worry, fear, disappointment, and frustration (to name a few) in regards to this state of emergency. We encourage our meditators to continue to practicing meditation diligently, especially during this time, as our mental health is key in protecting our immune systems. Meditation has also been recommended by the CDC, to help individuals cope and keep in good health during this pandemic.

Currently, there are at least 5,000 people confirmed with the coronavirus in the US, and up to 100 people in the US have died from the virus itself. Seeing the trends from other areas of the world, there is some concern as to if the cases and death numbers will continue to increase in the US as well. All of the reason more as to why we are choosing to take much recommended and appropriate action. In order to mitigate the virus as soon as possible, we are encouraging everyone else as well to please follow the guidelines set by the CDC, by refraining from going out as much as possible, and paying special attention to your own health and hygiene. We encourage you to also remind friends, family, coworkers, etc. to also follow the CDC guidelines.

We also highly encourage newcomers to visit our square site to begin practicing personalized guided meditation to help in aiding any mental distress caused by this pandemic. Every session is tailored to each individuals needs, and guided by professionals with years of experience. It is our pleasure to serve you.

We will continue to seek guidance from the CDC, as well as other reliable sources, to make the best decisions for the health of the San Diego Community.

Thank you so much for your understanding, diligence in meditation, and your adapting nature to our online platform. Please be well and most importantly safe!

Below is a beautiful writing written by Kitty O’ Meara , which will help us to see this situation in a much brighter light, and help us to get through this together.

“And the people stayed home, and read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed”.

Let’s Heal Together Everyone

With our utmost sincerity,
