Mary White has been successfully leading people through the process of learning Heart-Centered Meditation and Spiritual Development for over 25 years. She teaches nationally and has studied with Meditation teachers and healers throughout the world. Her practice in Meditation, Intuition Development, Energy Balancing, and Guided Energy Movement informs her work with both groups and individuals. Mary began her personal cultivation in 1975 as a student of spiritual teachers both East and West. She works with people to open the flow of heart centered energies in group meditation and from an intuitive method of inquiry in individual counseling. This method of spiritual development is a process-oriented approach to help release energies bound by unconscious beliefs and behaviors to find their natural healthy destination in the person’s life. Most significant for Mary has been her experience of spiritual energy and the vast potential therein for personal growth, developing intuitive abilities and healing through the transfer and balancing of energies. Integrating our inner spiritual life with living in the world is the foundation of Mary’s life work.

"This meditation method has been a lifesaver for me. It has allowed me to grow in ways I never would have thought possible. I shudder to think how diminished the past six years would have been without this practice. My practice is very important to me; it has given me faith in my own potential. I value this practice because it is down to earth and unpretentious, yet as powerful as anything I've encountered." Mark B.

"Meditation has been a blessing in disguise. I have learned how to control my angers and fears so that I can make important decisions based on facts and not emotions." Moses R.

"It has helped me become a better person and to let go of the past.... It is helping me in my career when I have to deal with difficult clients and stressful situations. I can also "sense" people better. My goals have changed:instead of wanting more money...my goal is to find contentment. It's a great goal and a long path!" Pascale B.

When I arrived I was looking for a meditation to add to my life. What I found here has completely changed my life. I am much happier and healthier today as a result. Mark E.

"I have found this Meditation more effective than psychotherapy in helping me experience transformation in my life." Ellie C.

"I'm a 'Show Me' kind of person, and things like miracles were a little too far out for me. However, something came along and changed my life. I have to call it a miracle.

After my husband died two years ago, I went through all the motions, but failed to take care of myself. Around Christmas 2000, I began to fall apart physically. I had an abnormal weight gain, but wasn't eating and overall I was a mess. I January, I went to the doctor and immediately was admitted to the hospital for tests, tests, tests! The doctor came in and diagnosed me with terminal liver and colon cancer. He asked me to call my family, and told me radiation, chemo and such would not prolong my life.

My oldest son contacted his friend Mary White, who lives in Santa Barbara, and she came by just to cheer me up. Her timing was such that she arrived within the hour of my devastating news. She did an energy session with me and the miracle happened. As I lay there, I felt little charged particles leaving my body, and popping in the air. Her touch was so light and healing that I was totally aware of the poison leaving. I was immediately calmer and more confident. I told her that I saw the cancer leave. When my children arrived from out of state, we began to ask questions of the specialists and after new tests, it was determined that there is no cancer in my body. When I was able to go home I asked Mary to work with me on a regular basis.

To my knowledge, there is still no official diagnosis of my near fatal illness, but I am recovered totally. In fact I am better physically and mentally than before. Mary works with me on a set schedule, and when I began to develop carpal tunnel, she concentrated on alleviating the pain and freeing up the muscles. I would say I am 80% cured of that problem. Now we are working to stop oncoming glaucoma, and that is going well. I am seventy years old, and can say it is a joy to awaken each day. This is my miracle." Jane J. B.

"I wanted to write to tell you how wonderful of an experience the retreat was for me. I feel like so much healing occurred not just to my leg but to my whole self. I feel that for the first time I know who I am. I am responding to life events differently. G. was having chest pains and I had to take him to the ER. He remained calm because I stayed to centered. What should have been a difficult situation was not.

I am also finding joy in myself and how I see the world. I actually have a couple more patients, and I turned down a job because they were pressuring me to put them first before every thing else. That felt bad to me so I said 'no thanks.' My meditations are deep and strong, but yin strong. I can feel the energy, after I do the morning exercises. I feel a stronger spiritual attachment and some much more centered. I am also no longer driven to push myself physically. I still exercise but with a healthier emphasis. I do not have to go the limit..." Linda C.
