"Centering is a verb. It is an ongoing process... Centering is not a model, but a spiritual resource in times of conflict, an imagination. It seems in certain lights to be an alchemical vessel, a retort, which bears an integration of purposes, an integration of levels of consciousness. It can be called to, like a divine ear." M.C. Richards
Centering is different from grounding. Centering is an inward movement to align within ourselves; whereas, grounding is an outward movement to be one with Earth. Through the practice of Centering, one learns: to detach; connect body, mind and spirit; sense sacred presence; flexibility of light; concept of time; breath control; meditation; healing; and unveiling the true self.
In the very early 1980's, I was desperately seeking resourced knowledge about spirituality which could only be found in the CULT section of bookstores. Visiting Indianapolis, I ducked into a book store and boldly approached this section in search of knowledge for personal advancement. I came upon a book entitled, CENTERING, A Guide to Inner Growth. I quickly went to the check out, paid cash, and made my exit.
To this day, CENTERING by Sanders G. Laurie and Melvin J. Tucker is available on Amazon. My copy is well worn, highlighted, ear marked, and tagged. This all encompassing book opened me to chakras, psychic energy, working with dreams and attitude. Each of these chapters grew into major segments of my existence allowing myself to be open to a Divine Ear.
