IAM Meditation

The IAM - Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique is a powerful tool for our spiritual growth.  Amma has said that this meditation acts on a very subtle level--eradicating all our negative tendencies, slowly but surely, and gives obvious practical results very fast.  She has assured us that if we practice IAM regularly we will see all aspects of our lives improve.

There is no time like NOW to learn the IAM Technique!
