All New Remote Meditation Retreats
For many years I’ve conducted full-day meditation retreats in different parts of the country where I happened to be for a while. These included south Florida, north Florida, and Woodstock and New Paltz in New York’s Hudson Valley. They provide a day of profound rest, renewal, and healing, in which you get a chance to take another big step toward Enlightenment. Instead of your usual twice-a-day daily meditations, you’ll get to meditate 8 times for four hours. These events were very well and good for meditators in those areas, but what about all those many meditators in other parts of the country who couldn’t make it because of geography?
Toward that end, I experimented with making a remote access retreat available for a very dedicated meditator in the Far West while I was conducting retreats in each of the above named areas. Enter technology: Recently, I expanded my experiment once again, this time making the same full-day $75 remote retreats available for two meditators separated by many hundreds of miles from each other and me. It went swimmingly. Here are their accounts, first from a veteran of more than a dozen in-person retreats in Jacksonville, FL, then from a meditator who has done a similar number of retreats, all by remote.
“On May 19 I was able to experience a Higher Self Healing Meditation Retreat with Cary and another meditator in two far away locations with telephone. I was open to the idea, as I so enjoy a day of knowledge and deep rest that was offered. I think it went well, because there were no distractions in the place I was, and I could relax without being self-conscious as in a class with other participants. Thank you for suggesting it and please notify me of our next Retreat opportunity.”

“Twelve months after I began practicing meditation, an invitation was offered to join a retreat via cellphone. It sounded similar to joining others from around the country for Group Coaching, in which I had been participating, and enjoying breakthroughs in my life. I’ve now done seven or eight retreats by phone, and I have truly enjoyed them all.
“Some nice things about doing this remotely, have been that I can be in my pajamas, I don’t have to travel (and that can be especially nice if I’m feeling under the weather). My cats enjoy these peaceful and mellow days, too. It has a more far-reaching affect than the usual two times a day sittings of meditation. It puts my life into a better perspective. It feels like I have friends around the country, I recognize their voices and appreciate their virtual companionship as we raise our consciousness together, and that of our communities. It’s really a lovely way to spend the day.”

As a result of the success of this remote retreat I’ve decided to augment my in-person retreats with their remote cousins. The schedule for the next series of full-day remote retreats are listed below:
Sunday October 13
Remote from 10 AM—6 PM Eastern, $75

Group Coaching on Procrastination
Starts September 19:
Breakthroughs at a Fraction of the Cost
Some people at the end of my classes tell me they wish that coaching would cost less. While I’ve always kept my rates very competitive with respect to other life and business coaches, I’ve come up with a form of coaching that’s so inexpensive virtually everybody can afford it. It’s called Group Coaching.
It takes place on a conference line phone call for no more than six people, and it focuses on one topic. Each person in the group will get individual coaching on each call, while everyone else listens and profits, having your issues repeatedly brought up by other people because we stay focused on the topic of overcoming procrastination. A group consciousness also develops, enabling a synergistic effect to usher in breakthroughs for one and all.
The author of How to Overcome Procrastination Now, who’s been leading workshops on the subject for the past 18 years and coaching people on the topic for as long, I look forward to helping you create breakthroughs in overcoming this insidious and debilitating habit.
The hour-long sessions will take place from 7—8 PM Eastern time and will be held on six consecutive Thursday nights:
September 19, 26, October 3, 10, 17, 24.
The program is open to the first six people who register. The cost for the Group Coaching Program is $30 per session if 6 people register, $5 more per session if fewer than 6 sign up. If you’d like to reserve your spot, call
845-664-1883.
Group Coaching on Business Building & Money
Starts September 19:
Breakthroughs at a Fraction of the Cost
Some people at the end of my classes tell me they wish that coaching would cost less. While I’ve always kept my rates very competitive with respect to other life and business coaches, I’ve come up with a form of coaching that’s so inexpensive virtually everybody can afford it. It’s called Group Coaching.
It takes place on a conference line phone call for no more than six people, and it focuses on one topic—in this case on the interrelated topics of money, business, and career. Each person in the group will get individual coaching on each call, while everyone else listens and profits, having one’s issues repeatedly brought up by other people because we stay focused on the topics of money, business, and career. A group consciousness also develops, enabling a synergistic effect to usher in breakthroughs for one and all.
The author of Prosperity Aerobics and A Course in Money Miracles, who’s been leading prosperity workshops for 30 years and coaching people on money, business, and career for 21 of those years, I look forward to helping you create financial breakthroughs.
The hour-long sessions will take place from 8:30—9:30 PM Eastern time and will be held on six Thursday and one Monday nights:
September 19, 26. October 3, 10, 17, 24.
The cost for the Group Coaching Program is $30 per session if 6 people sign up, $5 more per session if fewer than 6 do so. If you’d like to guarantee your spot,
call 845-664-1883.
Advanced Monthly Meditation Webinar
The advanced meditation webinars, held for those who meditate, start with me opening the “floor” to questions about your meditation practice and/or understanding of the path of evolution of consciousness. Then, I’ll do a group meditation check. After that, I’ll direct you to a link for a talk by Maharishi, which each meditator can play on his or her computer. Lastly, I’ll take questions, and lead a discussion about the video.
Here’s the dial-in number for it:
563-999-1035.
You’ll then be asked for a participant code,
which is 142781 and the pound sign (#).
If you’re in front of a computer, when the time is right you can watch the video that we’ll discuss afterwards. Here’s the link to that video. The upcoming schedule follows below:

Great sages, for thousands of years, have shown mankind how to live the higher life.

This 111-page mini-book’s chapters include “The Power of Positive Singing,” “Song Realization: Falling in Love as a Glimpse of Higher Consciousness,” “Cole Porter, the Angels, & the Gods,” “The Music Man: Fake it Till You Make It,” “My Fair Language: Transformation through Speech in My Fair Lady,” and “Pure Imagination & Animation Yoga: The Wonderful World of Disney Music.” It offers insights into the transformation of consciousness expressed in the songs of so many Broadway and Hollywood musicals.
This delightful and instructive 111-page ebook sells for $14, plus $3.50 shipping & handling, but through October 31, you can get it for $8.40 without any S&H.
Advanced Meditation Technique Available
The basic course in Higher Self Healing Meditation is easy to learn and even easier to practice; so, too, are advanced techniques, which you can learn, that accelerate your practice. The second technique, for example, expands the benefits of your daily meditation by opening awareness to the most refined levels of inner silence. Think of it as a fertilizer to speed up your growth. This second technique also improves the mind’s ability to cognize thought at more refined levels so that action can be strengthened, increasing your ability to achieve your goals, and thereby grow in fulfillment. This happens naturally and leads to improvements in all areas of life–-physical, mental, and spiritual.
Once you’ve practiced meditation for at least a year, you’re ready to learn your next technique. The cost for this advanced method is half of the cost of the first: $250. What’s more, it can also be learned via Skype and a webcam.
If you’d like to enjoy the benefits that the second technique provides, email me at successaerobics@aol.com or call (845) 664-1883.
Testimonial on the 2nd Technique
“The advanced technique has brought me into deeper and more profound experiences where I become much more aware of colors that tie into my chakra’s and become aware of a state of consciousness where I have no thoughts for extended periods along with no mantra and I am just aware of feelings of bliss and joy tied into the colors expanding into my awareness.”

Living Room Lectures
Sometimes the environment we hear something in can make the world of difference with regard to how we react to it. Meditation is no different. Toward that end, I enjoy giving free talks on meditation in the living rooms of meditators. If you’d like to share the benefits you’re enjoying from meditation with your family, friends, and co-workers, let me know and I’d be happy to set up an hour-long introduction to the benefits of meditation and explain to those present how it works and how it differs from other programs of personal growth. To set up a living room lecture, just give me a call at (845) 664-1883.
Meditation Retreats
?A number of meditators have expressed interest in deepening their experience with meditation. Toward that end, I created a one-day retreat called “A Retreat into Peace, an Advance in Knowledge.” It provides a day of profound rest, renewal, and healing, in which you get a chance to take another big step toward Enlightenment. Instead of your usual twice-a-day daily meditations, you’ll get to meditate and rest for four hours in a safe and appropriate environment. The deeper experience is complemented by profound knowledge through videos and discussion. What follows is a quote from a meditator who’s hosted many such retreats.
“I have found that meditation reduces my stress, and increases my energy, focus, and capacity for joy. Attending a full-day meditation retreat is always a day of profound rest and renewal. It is hard to describe the feelings of deep peace and contentment that follow the experience. Thank you Cary for making it all possible.”

Article: “My Cat: A Life in Purrfect Balance”
In our overworked workaday world much is made by those in the medical, psychological, and spiritual communities of the importance of living a balanced life. Despite such warnings, far too many Americans still are clueless how to find a balance of work and play, and socializing and alone time. If they’re among the many millions of people blessed to have one or more of the 95.6 million pet cats (as of 2017) in the U.S., they have, right in front of their noses, a living, loving example of a life in balance. I’ll explain.
My cat Ananda (Sanskrit for bliss), named for the extraordinary speed with which she goes into purring mode (zero to 60 in a second), lives a healthy balance of her time indoors and out. She enjoys a balance of the basic life groups needed for happiness and balance: love, spirituality, exercise, sport, and time with Nature. I’ll expand on each of these.
For exercise, Ananda chases my laser pointer light whenever I shine it in her direction. She also chases her fellow cat for calorie burning. Fortunately, no one gets hurt; it’s all in fun, so there’s no harm, no foul. And I’m also fortunate she doesn’t get any of the fowl next door, as she hasn’t hunted down any of the chickens who live there. Sometimes, Ananda will also chase invisible things—invisible to us, at least, but maybe not to her heightened perception.
My little feline also gets in a healthy dose of work, although you might not see it as that on surface inspection. I’m referring to what you might think of as her sport—hunting. While she gets her three squares a day as my housemate, there’s enough instinct left in her to hunt for food—the work life of an animal in the wild. And she gets plenty of that, too chasing down field mice, chipmunks, squirrels and birds. Fortunately for the latter two, she almost never succeeds. As for the first two, well, Nature takes over, and my huntress pet manages to capture her share of prey.
She loves to relax in Nature, also, often resting in my garden, while soaking in the vitamin D of the warm sunshine. Other times, she’ll sun bathe on our deck, right beneath our St. Francis bird feeder, just in case some robin or blue jay happens not to notice her there while they dive down for a snack.
When she wants to deepen her spirituality, she’ll sidle up next to me when I meditate. She seems to enjoy the effects of what might be referred to as second hand mantra, as she purrs her little tush off. Her bliss is quite audible and tactile, as well. I’d go so far as to say that she enjoys the taste of bliss far more than almost every two-legged being I ever met.
Other times during the day when she wants to chill out after a workout of chipmunk chasing, she might take a catnap to catch some Zs. And she never sets an alarm, content to get up when she gets up. While she leads an active life, she has no schedule. This also adds to her profound peace of mind and balanced lifestyle.
Love is hugely important to Ananda, as well; without any warning, she’ll often come up to my wife and nuzzle her nose against my wife’s finger. Or maybe she’ll just snuggle. Perhaps she’ll hop into my lap while I’m watching TV. This cat cuddling gives her warmth and companionship, to say nothing of warmth if winter temps have plummeted, or summer air conditioning has gotten too chilly for her. No agenda for Ananda, she just wants to deepen her experience of loving and being loved.
And if she wants to change her consciousness she’ll find one of the catnip toys that I have laying around the house and bite into it to release its consciousness-changing herb. Like wine in the days of Jesus, like mushrooms and plants to indigenous peoples of the American southwest, she’ll partake in this, her herb of choice. It seems to have a healing effect on her. Just think of it as a kind of medi-cat marijuana.
