Testimonials

I truly appreciate the wonderful CD you have created. It has been two years since I took your meditation course and my life and attitude have changed dramatically. By taking your class and embracing a daily practice of meditation, I have been reunited with my true self. The CD is a very practical tool for me and a great support in staying present during my meditation since I don’t have to set an alarm (and be startled when it goes off) or open my eyes to see what time it is. I can really let go and enjoy my time knowing you will ring that gentle bell for me. Thank you again for introducing me to the power and pleasure of a meditation practice. It is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. Bless you both and the great work you are doing. Catherine Morris-Adelstein, Teacher/Seminar Leader, Dallas

Taking Jon and Linda's course on meditation jump-started me on a meditation practice that I had "swiped at" for several years. The concept of creating a chain through consistency made sense and, in fact, after more than a year now of meditating is producing results -- greater peace of mind and greater mindfulness. I now observe my thoughts even during the day and can choose to let them go if they do not serve me well. What a difference that makes! I am grateful to Jon and Linda for their gentle wisdom and quiet encouragement. Shirley Schwaller, Addison, Texas Shirley Schwaller, Addison, Texas

The third time is a charm.... I've taken Finding Time Sitting Still three times. I realize the difference in my life when I am in my practice, so I come back to Jon and Linda's class for reinforcement. Results... I am more joyous, calmer, think more clearly and have more energy. Friends say I look younger and more rested. And the key is FTSS practice for 20 minutes a day. Carolyn Blakey, mortgage broker, Dallas, Texas

You present the concept of meditation so perfectly. After three years of practicing Finding Time Sitting Still, here’s my view. A meditation practice is like good design. You may find it attractive, pleasing, and balanced. It just is, and something about it seems right. You might even take it for granted. Bad design though is obvious. It stops you in your tracks; it’s not quite finished. A color, a font, the contrast, negative space, something – although you may not be able to pinpoint it – is off. That’s life without meditation. FTSS helps create the space in which you can redesign your life. robert mateo diago, ordained artist, dallas, texas

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I still have a long journey, but I appreciate your open hearts. Ashley Tatum, Gallery Director, Dallas, Texas

Finding Time Sitting Still is educational, rewarding, relaxing, exciting, with super instructors. I learned to focus, made changes in my life, and am having fun; it’s everlasting! Everybody should take this class. Fred Erikson, Auditor, Fort Worth, Texas

Jon and Linda, upon first meeting them, have a presence of calm, trust and love for each of us in the class. To receive a hug from either of them is to receive a sense of peace and tranquility. Toni Johnson, Retired Teacher, Dallas, Texas

I found what I learned very helpful in attaining my personal goals of inner peace and learning to set aside time for personal review and thought. Kathy Lamb, Fort Worth, Texas

This is a life-changing experience. Of course, time will tell, but I do believe it’s a “get-to,” not a “have-to.” Frances Estes, oboist, Dallas, Texas

One year later and I can definitely say meditation is a “get-to.” I would never miss a day of meditation! Thank you for Finding Time Sitting Still. Frances Estes, oboist, Dallas, Texas

Never have I learned anything that has given me so much so quickly. I feel that I have learned how I can really contribute to making the world a better place, more tolerant and loving for all of us. Phoebe Sisk, Dallas, Texas

The program was very well thought out and implemented with love. Diane Lampe, Small Business Owner, Plano, Texas

Daily meditation gives me more focus, energy and time. It keeps me from reacting to irritations. I would highly recommend Finding Time Sitting Still to anyone, especially my patients Susan K. Linder, M.D.

It amazes me that within a short few months my life, outlook, and spirituality made such a drastic turnaround. Driving to work I went from shouting obscenities to bestowing blessings. I look forward to weekend visits with my mom, which used to have me cringing by the end of the week. I haven't gotten mad at her in more than a month and she’s less frustrated. I remain calm and objective in the worst of situations. My life is less complicated and I am more at peace. I seem not to be having the day-to-day crises that most of my co-workers experience. My negativity vanished. Becky Hulsey, Fort Worth, Texas

I can't begin to tell you the effect I believe my regimen of yoga and meditation has had and continues to have on my life. I have become engaged to a man who is an incredibly "yummy" addition to my life, I am generally happier and, more importantly, more at peace than I have ever been and at 45 years old I am finally accepting and at ease with my body. Judge Lisa Beebe, Tarrant County Family Law Court

I write a weekly column for the Fort Worth Star Telegram that keeps me fixated on deadlines and story ideas. I don't panic anymore when the deadline looms. I attribute it to the meditation. They are great teachers who bring peace to many Richard Gonzales, Fort Worth, Texas

This has been a smoother, relaxed tax season, just as Jon and Linda predicted. The benefits are wonderful. Syrus Teherani, CPA, Dallas, Texas
