Graham Doel has kindly offered me web-space on his domain for a month... so thanks to Graham (please visit his blog and say hello and thanks ;-) ) the Desert Meditation is available here ... or for the parent directory here
If you download a copy, could you let me know (just to have an idea where it is being used... so far UK, US, Canada, Australia) by leaving a comment here... Thanks
[update...again] Thanks to Jonny's comment (below) I have uploaded it onto TypePad... wierd because before I uploaded it my account read...
Your diskspace allotment: 1,000 megabytes
Your free diskspace: 997.27 megabytes
...now it reads the same even though I have added an extra 10120.5K! Oh well the file is now
HERE too!

Mark: Thanks for sending the mp3. I've played it more than once just for my own benefit and meditation.
I've created a power point to go with it so we have a simple visual (just eight slides) to reinforce the message and help those who experience things via the “eye gate” to be drawn into the meditation, but it is over 25M in size and therefore hard to email.

mark there isn't an issue with typepad and bandwidth. i have asked them what happens if you exceed your allowance and they replied saying nothing. so you can always upload it there...

Cool... now doubled by alloted bandwidth ;-) link on sidebar

Thanks, Mark. I am working with youth in an Episcopal Church in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, USA (near Scranton, which is old coal country). I'm also involved in a house church kind of deal working out our identity and mission, as part of the local Episcopal Diocese and its mission/evangelism efforts.

Mark,
Thanks for posting Desert Meditation; this is the first piece of yours I've heard. I look forward to perusing your site for more. I work with media arts and web design for a college/twenty-something ministry serving Indiana University. I may post a link in our forums about this site, assuming you do not mind.

I used the meditation in our Wednesday prayer and meditation group. It went down a storm they all wanted to know who it was that made it so I sent them over to your site.
Thanks again mark.

thanks for this - great stuff. Used it in a Diocesan Youth Service in Monmouth on Sunday. It was a bit long to use in that context, so we used the last three and a bit minutes (from "God has called you here to meet him"), and it worked perfectly.

We met briefly at your Set Sail installation in the New Forms cafe at Greenbelt last year...and I've wanted to run that at a local youth leaders training conference in Johannesburg this year. I might use these tracks too - thanks :)
