Episode #4 – 60 Minute REP Meditation III

In the third of the series of Revealing Eternal Presence Meditations the meditator builds upon the first two meditations by further refining and developing the awareness.  The primary emphasis at this stage is cultivating concentration in your observations.  As always it is recommended that you spend a couple of weeks working with each meditation before proceeding to the next step.

If you have any questions, or if anything arises during these meditations that inspires discussion, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Episode #2 – 60 Minute REP Meditation I

In the first of the series of Revealing Eternal Presence Meditations the meditator is introduced to this journey through observing the breath.  This first step is intended to lay an important foundation.

Episode #1 – 30 Minute REP Meditation I

This 30 minute meditation recording is an abridged version of the first steps of the Revealing Eternal Presence Meditation, and has been recorded for your convenience. The intent with this meditation is to support you in your meditation practice wherever you may be, or whatever you might be doing.

One might be curious as to whether a 30 meditation is a sufficient. In my experience the practice of meditation is something we cultivate over time. I would rather see someone practice for 5 minutes a day every day, than to practice for just one hour once a month. That said, if a 30 minute recording strikes you as a little less intimidating then this format will have served its purpose.

When I started meditation 15 minutes would often feel like an eternity. However, I persevered with patience, and from such humble roots my practice has sprouted into a profound aspect of my life. The roots are deep and I gain nourishment from both regular watering and from the nourishment in the world around me. What started as 15 to 30 minutes of meditation a day became a spiritual practice central to my life, where life itself has become a meditation, and through which I have truly begun to awaken.

As a closing thought it is also my experience that sitting for 30 minutes or less in a meditation is less likely to conjure up storms or do work at the deepest levels of your mind. In turn I do not expect many questions related to this meditation. However, as is the case for all these meditations I encourage you to ask any questions you may have through comments (by clicking on the title and then adding a comment) or by clicking the ‘Contact’ link in the top-right of the page.

Know the Flow and be happy.

About Podcasts

Those serious in following the path of Revealing Eternal Presence Meditation should set a full hour aside each day to meditate. As is the case for each podcast in this series it suggested that you spend a couple of weeks working with each podcast before proceeding to the next.

The instructions and guidance in the recording should be sufficient but questions will quite likely arise as you proceed along this path. Do not hesitate to enter a comment, or to contact me directly, with any questions you may have.

About Carmien Owen

“I am a Licenced Practitioner.” “I have been wandering the metaphysical path for some 15 years now.” Those words were the extent of the profile I found on this site. I then went to the Centre for Spiritual Living site where Carmien Owen serves as a Licensed Practitioner, and there was a name and a contact number. Nothing more.  A controlled ego may be good, but I thought the world needed to learn more about this amazing man and I asked him if I could re-write his “biography.” You see, when he does it, he somehow makes it about Spirit and us. This is about him.

Carmien was born in the UK, and grew up in a challenging environment where his family and many of his associates succumbed to a life of drugs, alcohol, and chaos.  After a period of deep crisis in his mid-twenties he came to realize that life could offer more, and began a 15 year search that took him through a move to Canada. Carmien married, had a daughter, as well as worked in senior positions working to improve Quality at organizations such as Ceridian and TELUS.  He currently serves as CEO of Collaboration Consulting Inc. where he facilitates improved communication and productivity through collaboration. His clients include the Government of Alberta, the University of Alberta, small non-profit organizations like the College of Physicians and Surgeons Alberta, and large corporations such as General Motors North America.

Carmien’s other passion is the pursuit of spirituality, and he does that through extensive study, writing, developing the spiritual vehicle you are currently visiting (Know The Flow), and working rigorously toward receiving his Ministerial designation with the Centres for Spiritual Living.  He is a  Licensed Practitioner (a designation as a spiritual coach) with the Centres for Spiritual Living.  He teaches meditation and other Spiritual topics both at the Edmonton Centre and online through Second Life and Skype. In my opinion this man is a “shining light” and holds amazing promise as the future Reverend Carmien Owen.  He is an articulate communicator, physically disciplined, environmentally sensitive and spiritually one of the most conscious people I have ever met. Carmien is not “wandering” a metaphysical path at all. He is constructing a major route in the provision of service to those searching for meaning in life.
