Meditation and The Sanctuary Experience

Mental HealthIn times of challenges presented by weather and the local environment, mental health is most important for those suffering the impact of extremes in their personal environment. The Brahma Kumaris community of Australia has produced a series of meditations which may be of help in bringing peoples to inner stillness. We take a look at The Sanctuary Experience and how it can help people experiencing extreme, emotional challenges.


The Sanctuary Experience
The Sanctuary Experience is a Brahma Kumaris project designed to support an atmosphere of peace and stillness for people affected by natural and man-made emergencies. This atmosphere helps people to centre and ground themselves and return to a state of calm through gentle music, guided meditations and silence.

This may assist them in moving from a state of emotional stress to a state of relative inner stillness, from where healing can begin.

These meditations provide a space to feel calm, secure and safe. They provide a little time for some self-care, a gentle place of rest and comfort, a healing space.

The guided meditations are voiced by Carmen Warrington, who also created the soothing music. Carmen is well-known around the world for her BK commentaries and also for the ABC series ‘Meditations for Life’, in partnership with master percussionist, David Jones. Carmen supports people to connect with their own inner peaceful sanctuary.

You may listen to these commentaries individually or together. Taken together, they have more power to soothe.
