Find Inner-net Peace

By Annie Fischer

Published on January 12, 2006

Meditation seems like such a healthy thing to do — but logging off the iBook for an entire hour seems like, you know, such a waste of time. Now stressed-out Internet addicts everywhere don’t have to.

Former KC resident and Center for Enlightenment founder Jane Hart leads an online healing meditation service at 6 p.m. each Tuesday. It’s based in Warren, Michigan, and Hart says it’s the first known group meditation to be broadcast live on the Web — a claim the Pitch neither confirms nor denies. Hart begins with a mini-lesson on themes such as forgiveness and change, then leads a meditation on the topic, followed by a silent period and a prayer. The whole thing takes a mere 30 minutes. Surely you can close Myspace for that long. See www.cfenlightenment.org.
