MARY'S BACKGROUND
Mary's long career has taken her through studies and work in both
conventional and alternative settings. Her first formal training was in
counseling. With an MS in clinical social work, she began her career as a
counselor in mental health and school settings. She soon saw the
limitations of the conventional approaches utilized in the clinics in
which she worked and began exploring alternative approaches.
Meditation studies and
teaching.
Mary began the practice of meditation, and immediately realized its
potential for personal growth and healing. She left her counseling work to
devote herself to intensive study and practice of meditation in the Vedic
tradition of India. She taught meditation for many years and participated
in many advanced courses.
Ayurveda and healing studies.
Her studies expanded to include the study of Ayurveda, the science of
health originating in ancient India. Her first experience with hands-on
healing was in 1986 when she was trained and worked as an Ayurvedic
therapist both in the US and India. She also began to explore other
systems of healing and metaphysical thought in order to enhance her work,
always seeking to find the universal truths revealed through all systems.
The study and practice of Ayurveda still inform much of Mary's work.
Mary begins energy healing.
In 1995, Mary started to work with subtle energies through exposure to
the work of Roman and Packer. She graduated from their Awakening Your
Lightbody course in 1996, soon returning to counseling to apply her
experience with meditation and the use of subtle energies for healing to
that field. As a hospice counselor, she was introduced to hands-on energy
healing by a chaplain. Seeing its value for supporting healing on all
levels, she studied Reiki and Healing Touch and was certified in Healing
Touch in 1999.
Energy healing soon became her primary focus, and she introduced it to
the hospices in which she worked. In addition to providing energy healing
in a hospice and adult day health program, she established a private
practice and began teaching energy healing. She developed a series of
workshops entitled Essential Energy Healing, incorporating principles from
her experience with meditation and emphasizing intuitive development. She
also taught energy work and spiritual healing through apprenticeships and
mentoring. Her CD, Everyday Energy Healing: the Hands-on Healing CD
contains the processes she used in her introductory workshops.
Back to Meditation -- Meditation CDs.
Mary began recording her guided meditations at the request of
students. She recorded several meditations and her partner/husband,
Richard Maddux, added music. This was to become their CD, The Ease of Being. Originally
distributed to a handful of people, it has now sold thousands of copies
and inspired Mary and Richard to create more CDs. Drawing on her
background in healing and various studies, Mary continues to create new
meditations and processes for self development and personal growth.
Meditation Oasis Podcast.
Always eager to find more ways to express their work,
Mary and Richard began created the Meditation Oasis podcast in the Fall of
2007. Now, a year later, thousands of people worldwide have been
enjoying new podcast meditations every month.
