A Ministry Based On Mindfulness and Meditation 

Welcome

 

Are you searching for a deeper meaning and purpose in a world that often feels shallow and disconnected? Do you yearn for a life filled with genuine happiness, inner peace, and a profound sense of connection to something greater than yourself?

At Taking Control, we understand this yearning. We believe that within each of us lies an energy of wisdom and strength, waiting to be discovered. We're here to guide you on that journey of self-discovery, by drawing upon the timeless wisdom of the world's great spiritual traditions – from the teachings of Jesus and Buddha to the insights of Krishna and Lao Tzu.

We believe that true spiritual growth is an inclusive path, welcoming people from all walks of life, regardless of their religious beliefs or backgrounds. After all, these religions all point to one being, one God or Creator. While we honor the traditions that have come before us, we also recognize that many conventional approaches taught to the masses can be limiting. Our aim is to empower you to connect with the divine in your own unique way, free from dogma and restrictions.

We offer a variety of free resources designed to support your journey, including:

  • Articles and blog posts exploring profound questions about life, suffering, the universe, and your place within it.
  • Learn Meditation and other practices to help you cultivate inner peace, mindfulness, and a deeper connection to your inner self.
  • A supportive community where you can ask questions, share your experiences, and find inspiration.

Help us spread this love, joy and empowerment. Much like a church needs contributions to keep their doors open, your generosity keeps ours open. From maintaining this website to setting up charities that help people in need. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us spread this message so we can live in a better loving world.

So, are you ready to embark on your journey of transformation? Explore the meditation section, come back weekly for new articles, and discover the true you. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions you may have about meditation or metaphysics and I will happy to help you. Together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive – both spiritually and materially.


About the Founder

 

When I first started exploring metaphysics, meditation, and becoming "Awakened", I admit I was skeptical, a feeling I imagine many share. I thought, 'Am I joining some kind of cult?' which, of course, was the last thing I wanted. I didn't want to be a character on a Netflix Documentary. However, despite my Christian/Catholic upbringing and exploration of Sioux spiritual traditions of my father, there was still a yearning for something deeper. This spiritual hunger would surface from time to time, only to be overshadowed by the demands and chaos of daily life.

However, a persistent curiosity eventually led me to the University of Metaphysics, where I immersed myself in the study of meditation and metaphysics. Through dedicated practice, my awareness of the universe expanded significantly. Initially, concepts like "Christ-Mind" and "God-Mind" seemed foreign, even unsettling at times. Yet, as my meditation deepened and the distractions of everyday life faded, a profound sense of connection blossomed within me and now those words carry an understanding of their true meaning. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the world of Metaphysics and Meditation these teachings may seem abstract from what most religions will teach. I just ask that you approach them with an open mind and heart, practice at your own pace and truly try to put your full attention into these practices as I did and you will find relief. 

Now, trivial concerns no longer hold the same power over me. While I wouldn't claim to be fully Awakened , I've experienced moments of profound peace, love, and pure bliss. These experiences are truly beyond words, confirming the limitations of language in capturing transcendent states and overwhelming peace.

The path to these experiences can be long and arduous, or sometimes surprisingly quick. Regardless of its length, the journey is undoubtedly worthwhile. While I and many great teachers believe everyone has the potential to experience true happiness, there is some degree of challenges necessary for conscious growth and through meditation and mindfulness you can breeze through these growth spurts with ease.  As you explore my work, you'll notice references to books and media that have been pivotal in my own growth, some are based on meditation and mindfulness but you will find some that go beyond this world and are amazing to explore. I hope these books offer you valuable insights and inspiration for your journey too.

Every week, I will add a new teaching or inspirational piece that I hope will point you toward ending your suffering and finding peace.

Best wishes on your journey,

J. Lowery
