Guided Meditation
You don’t have to empty your mind.
You don’t have to experience anything extraordinary.
Sometimes the practice is simply noticing that you are here.
You may listen. You may pray. You may sit quietly. You may all a verse to remain with you for a while.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Be present.
Stillness is a Practice
Our minds are constantly receiving something. Guided Meditation creates a gentle pause from that constant input.
Not to escape life, but to become present enough to notice it.
Notice the breath
Notice the body
Notice the thoughts
Notice what is heavy
Notice What Brings Gratitude
SCRIPTURE + REFLECTION
Meditation has deep biblical roots.
Throughout Scripture, meditation is connected with remembering, considering, reflecting, praying, and dwelling intentionally on the things of The Most High.
At Happy Acres, Guided Meditation may include opportunities to reflect on Scripture, gratitude, a question, a prayer, or simply the present moment.
You are welcome here, no matter your walk of life.
A Gathering May Include:
Quiet Reflection
Breath Awareness
Guided Relaxation
Affirmations + Scripture
Gratitude
Prayer when desired
Rest
Return Slowly
Sometimes movement leads us towards stillness. Guided Meditation provides intentional opportunities to slow the body, quiet distractions, become aware of the breath, and create space for reflection.
Happy Acres Ministry Experiences
Breathe Easy SpeakTeasy holds space for Sabbath rest, fellowship, reflection, prayer, hospitality, and renewal. These are the different ways we carry out ministry.

Guided Meditation + Movement & Breath
Movement. Breath. Stewardship.
Sometimes stillness feels easier after we move.
Gentle stretching, accessible yoga-inspired movement, or simple breath practices can help transition the body away from the pace of everyday life.
A Movement + Breath gathering may flow naturally into Guided Meditation:
Move.
Breathe.
Settle.
Listen.
Rest.
Guided Meditation + CommuniTea
Tea. Conversation. Fellowship.
Begin with conversation around the table.
Share tea.
Slow down.
Then step away from talking for a while.
A CommuniTea + Guided Meditation experience can create a simple rhythm:
Gather together.
Become quiet together.
Guided Mediation + Sacred Sound
Sound. Stillness. Reflection.
Stillness can have a soundtrack.
Guided Meditation pairs naturally with Sacred Sound, where singing bowls and gentle vibration create another invitation to slow down and listen.
A combined experience may begin with breath and guided reflection, transition into sound, and eventually return to silence.

Many Experiences. One Ministry.
Stillness. Reflection. Growth.

Stillness to notice.
Breath to return to.
Space to reflect.
There is room for quiet here.
A MINISTRY OF BREATHE EASY SPEAKTEASY
Guided Meditation is an expression of the religious, charitable, and educational ministry of Breathe Easy SpeakTeasy (B.E.S.T.), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious ministry.
Through stillness, Scripture, breath awareness, reflection, prayer when welcomed, education, fellowship, and Sabbath rest, we create opportunities for people to step away from everyday demands and become present.
Guided Meditation is not medical or mental-health treatment and is not represented as diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing any condition.
You don't have to believe exactly as we do to be welcomed by us.
Its purpose is much simpler:
Slow down. Notice. Breathe. Be present.
COME AS YOU ARE
You don't need experience. You don't need special clothing. You don't need to sit perfectly still. You don't need to belong to a particular denomination.
And you don't need to feel peaceful before you arrive.
Come distracted. Come tired. Come curious. Come carrying a lot.
Come because you simply need ten minutes where nobody is asking anything from you.
There is room for quiet here.
Holding Space for Our Community to Grow & Thrive.
