The Amma Center of New Mexico has begun a follow-up with Joe Thergood, former Deputy Secretary of Veterans Services for the State of New Mexico, who first met Amma during Her June visit to New Mexico. We are developing a strategy to see how we can best assist the Department of Veterans Affairs in helping the veterans, especially those returning from service in Iraq, to make the readjustment to civilian life. Joe feels that we should start by soliciting any positive experiences that veterans, who have taken the IAM training, would be willing to share. So we are requesting any veterans, who are willing to participate, to email their experiences to Virginio at virginio_deangelis@yahoo.com.

The Integrated Amrita Meditation is a powerful tool for our spiritual growth. Amma has said that the technique acts on a very subtle level--eradicating all our negative tendencies, slowly but surely, and gives obvious practical results very fast. She has assured us that if we practice regularly we will see all aspects of our lives improve.

If you have gotten irregular with your practice or just want to strengthen it in this New Year, then you may want to attend a Refresher Course. These Refreshers will answer all your questions and take you through the steps of practice. Many who have attended these Refresher Courses have found that they gained a great intellectual and experiential boost to their practice. These Refreshers are a small investment in time (approximately 1.5 hours in length) with a great return! There is no charge for these courses.

If you have not yet learned Amma's IAM technique, call or email Barbara Kalisch, 505-992-1131 or barbara.kalisch@gmail.com, to find out when the next training will be held.

The Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique is a powerful way to reconnect with our real center, our inner Self, and thereby experience true joy and peace in life. Born out of Amma's Divine inspiration, the Technique, when practiced with dedication, is designed to bring about integration in our lives — an integration of body, mind, intellect and heart; an integration of our True Self with God.
