CAVE OF PRAYERS & MEDITATION
Welcome to the Cave of Prayer and Meditation. It is open 24/7 for you to step into a one-of-a-kind, powerful space where you can pray and meditate. The cave is a place where you can offer your anxieties, fears, sadness, regrets, pain, and financial challenges to be healed. The cave is open to everyone from all religious and spiritual backgrounds, including atheists, who are seeking calm and peace. The cave is the place of peace, hope, protection, healing, acceptance, and grace; a place of prayer and meditation. Meditation and prayer are not about sitting quietly and thinking about your chores, challenges, and worries. That is no different from thinking with your eyes closed. Prayer and meditation are about communicating from the heart with that scintillating infinite power. Before entering, take a moment to set your intention. Enter with openness, for the more deeply you open yourself, the more you are able to receive.
