What is meditation and what can it do for you?
Vipassana Meditation is an ancient, deep, silent Tibetan Buddhist practice that is being used in the modern world to settle the nervous system and train the brain to be more focused, engaged and less reactive. It helps you to determine what is important to you. It allows you to turn your attention inward and discover the quietness that is ever present bringing you peace in your daily life. Silence is not empty, it is filled with answers.
Scientists have been studying the effects of meditation since the 1970s. Their studies have shown that, compared to non-meditators, meditators regularly experience:
- better health
- greater intuition
- more creativity
- increased mental abilities
- improved memory, and
- better personal relationships
Through years of experience teaching Marjorie has also seen great improvement in peace for students suffering from PTSD due to many types of trauma. She volunteers her services to first responders, veterans and mental health organizations.
It’s not about having mystical experiences, although this does happen for some. It’s about living a calm, focused, successful and happy life. Though its roots are in various monastic traditions, you don’t have to have any beliefs at all – it works anyway for anyone.
If you would like to…
- change bad habits
- respond instead of react
- be more focused and creative
- have better physical and mental health, and
- release stress
… meditation is the answer.
The Simple Easy Every Day (SEED) Meditation technique only takes five minutes a day to begin and will change your life. Even if you have tried and think you cannot reach that place of stillness within, she can help you go there.

“Above all, be at ease, be as natural and spacious as possible. Slip quietly out of the noose of your habitual anxious self, release all grasping, and relax into your true nature. Think of your ordinary emotional, thought-ridden self as a block of ice or a slab of butter left out in the sun. If you are feeling hard and cold, let this aggression melt away in the sunlight of your meditation. Let peace work on you and enable you to gather your scattered mind into the mindfulness of Calm Abiding, and awaken in you the awareness and insight of Clear Seeing. And you will find all your negativity disarmed, your aggression dissolved, and your confusion evaporating slowly like mist into the vast and stainless sky of your absolute nature.”
I highly recommend a meditation class with Marjorie for anyone that is not sure how or where to begin. Very accessible and enjoyable! Ken Cahill
I so enjoyed the class. I was actually ready for meditation and received a wonderful meditation. Thank you, YaYa
Excellent steps and motivation to continue to meditation.

“Marji is a caring teacher whose meditation class helped me realize that I can meditate and it doesn’t need to be ‘perfect’, simply relaxing with my body sitting up, breathing with a simple mantra is all I need to help me deal with stress and focus my intentions more clearly’ – Noelle
I have lived in Sedona for 30 years and Marjorie helped me to finally experience a simple yet very effective technique to connect with Source. Her easy to follow instructions were a delight. Thanks Marji! Tina Reichow
Marji is passionate about her meditation teaching. Her compassion and patience were welcome to a novice like me. I highly recommend doing a session with her. MS
Thank you so much Marjorie! I really enjoyed the class. You made it really enjoyable. Namaste’ Anonymous
Marjorie’s class inspires me to get back into my daily meditation. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you Marjorie for reigniting my flame for meditation. Hugs! Patty Vankirk
Last part (besides the eight steps to do at home) was that the purpose of meditation is to live a joyful and stress-free life. With this class it will be possible. DM
Thank God for Marjorie and her teaching of 5 minute meditation to Alzheimer’s Caregivers of Sedona. Caregivers sometimes only have 5 minutes and this brief meditation really helps. Barbara Osher, Facilitator of AC Groups of Sedona
It was an amazing night and marji is a superb teacher. I was on a cloud. I am doing this Vipassana meditation every day now and there is no longer any drama in my life, only peace.
Attended the April 6, 2018 evening meditation class given by Marjorie Muro. It was enchanting! Marjie is a fine speaker and teacher and it was a relaxing time. The first meditation was accompanied by the birds outside chirping, and it prepared me for an even deeper second meditation. A fine time.
Marjorie reminded me this night of who I am and the inner peace I have not allowed myself to feel for a while. Just wonderful. Love her energy. Namaste’ Char C.
This was a helpful and confirming experience. I’m so glad I came and I feel re-connected to my meditation practice. Thanks so much, Judith D.
Marjorie’s meditation class was extremely helpful. She has a very humble, loving spirit and gives very simple step by step guidance. I was able to very quickly get to a place of peace and calm.
Marjie is a blessing and a wonderful example of a peace-filled woman. She walks the talk.

The meditation for beginners was excellent.

Marjie taught us to meditate together. It was a delightful experience. She has practiced and taught meditation for years. This is clear…she knows her true purpose. During our session she taught us to live with deeper and deeper peace within.
HI Marjorie,
Please keep me posted on when you teach a group Vipassana class again.
I have been wanting to experience that form of meditation.
Blessings,
Lori
Marji shared a beautiful meditation training with the sisters of the Sedona Red Moon Lodge this week that was very inspiring and peace-generating. As someone who has been meditating for 20 years, I was excited to learn something new about meditation from Marji – that meditation practice lengthens Telomeres in the body, which reverses aging! Thank you for your generosity and compassion, Marji!
i took up paranormal sound meditation but still feel like i can use extra instruction
I went to this class in February and it was really great! I encourage anyone wanting to learn or deepen their practice to attend Marjorie’s class.
My meditation practice has improved immeasurably since taking Marjie’s class! It can really change your life.
After Marjorie’s class I woke early, sat up straight and did a meditation. I certainly went deep twice in her class.
I participated in Marjorie’s meditation class last night, February 12, 2016 and it was amazing! She is such a generous, kind, interesting, competent and compassionate teacher. Practicing and teaching the SEED (simple easy every day) method to us provides me with the knowledge and confidence to apply daily meditation to my life. Thank you Marjorie!
It was a beautiful class, well prepared and well presented.
The class was very well organized. It was broken into just the basics which a beginner needs.

I was very honored to attend Marjie’s Meditation Class and What a Gift I gave myself. I not only learned simple ways to meditate that so often in the past seemed impossible, but it made so much sense to my heart and soul.
The gifts of the meditations we did that evening with others around and Marjie leading, I found a soft peaceful place in my heart and would loved to stay there forever. Peace, Calm, Love, Colors.
I surely was someplace I long to return to as often as possible.
Marjie is a Master, a True Master for all of us to share.
I took Marjie’s Meditation class last Friday, and what an incredible experience it was! I felt like I was drifting on a sea of Love and journeying thru the Universe! I have been doing my daily meditations for a week now and can totally tell a difference in my anxiety/stress levels. It is so easy—anyone can do it! This is such a simple way to change your life for the better…just do it!
Went to Marjie’s meditation class on September 18, 2015 and it was excellent. She has natural talent as a teacher, was well prepared, her instructions were clear and simple. Her enthusiasm about the subject makes one want to practice right away and live life with the grace that Marjie radiates. That’s so much Marjie!
