I purchased this light about a year ago, but just installed it about 6 months ago. The fixture is beautiful, but the center of it has rusted. It looks terrible. I have tried a few different rust removers, that are safe to use on chrome, but nothing worked. What am I supposed to do with this fixture, beside taking it down and throwing it out? I am completely disgusted.
We love the look, great value...

great look for the money
We love the look, great valueRead More
Very blingy
I purchased this light for my daughter's bathroom. It's just ok. There is a lot of labor involved in hanging every crystal but it looks pretty. The bar is a little wobbly but I think it will be fine. I bought it for the blind and it delivered on that aspect.Read More
Building a new house and I bought this for my daughter's fixture over her mirror in the her new bathroom. the electricians were there and he said it took him 1 1/2 hours to install so it may take the average person a little longer; but - it looks SOOOO much more expensive. It's gorgeous. My GC, thought it was real glass. I wish all the expensive fixtures I bought from his person were as great as the one from overstock. TRUST ME you won't be disappointed. Loved it. Hire someone if you don't want to be bothered with putting it together.Read More
Elegance for Master Bathroom
I used 2 4-light fixtures in my master bath. They give good light and are very elegant! You do need a bit of patience to string the crystals but it was a fun project.Read More
Everyone loves this
Bought for my teenage daughters bathroom. It really is perfect. I strung the crystals myself before installer put up. It was not hard but good advice from another review- don't have installer do it and chargeRead More
Gorgeous and Unusual bathroom fixture
I could not believe how nice these look when installed. I bought two of them for a double sink installation, and I am thrilled with them! They are very unusual and have really transformed my space into a glamourous look for so little money! My only warning is that putting on the crystals is very labor intensive, so if you are having a paid electrician do the installation, I would suggest putting the crystals on yourself in advance of the installation. They need to be put on before being installed, not after. Otherwise, you will be paying the electrician probably an extra hour's work for him to do it. It is not hard to do; it just takes awhile. Also, they take one small base chandelier type bulb for each "square". I am a former interior decorator, and I highly recommend these. You will love them!Read More
Fabulous buy
I have seen these lights on other sites for a much higher cost. These lights look very expensive and give great light to a bathroom with no other light source. People who see them admire them immediately.Read More
LUV these lights!!
These lights ended a long drama for me; thanks GODDNESS! I have brass & chrome fixtures in my bath, which are ok, not crazy about them, but did not want to spend boocoo *** redoing all the fixtures when at the end of it, I loathed the brass & chrome Hollywood bar vanity light the contractor put in my new build home. My shower trim was chrome, so I gave in and decided on chrome...blah. Then I found these fixtures and it solved my problems!!!! SO many vanity lights have those tulip shaped glass shades...YUK! White, cream, ivory...more blah. These fixtures solve the problem because crystal has no color, but who needs color with these shiny babies! You don't have to worry about counter top color with light shades and metal tomes after I decided on chrome. Price was AWSEOME too on OS. After I got these these, they look SO much better in person than on website. I bought 2 of these and just sat down with a movie and strung the crystals. Took about 1.5 hours, but so worth it. I also bought the Otis designs flush mount 4 light for my water closet and ordered item # 11738310 chrome 3 light chandelier for my master closet. If you think you like these on website, you will love them in personRead More
Gorgeous! Love it Love it!
This looks so gorgeous in my bathroom! So excited - I had seen the same thing on various sites for $$$ and $$$ and was about to splurge because I knew I wanted this style, but luckily I searched one more day and found it here MUCH cheaper. The other reviews looked promising so I bought it. While it took longer to hang than anticipated because it doesn't tell you you have to attach ALL 80 CRYSTAL bead thingies YOURSELF (not fully pre-assembled) it was WELL WORTH the extra 20 minutes and the money saved to do it. And the light it puts off is just beautiful - I'd swear they were real Swarowski crystals. Highly recommend!Read More
Love it
I love this. ...just installed last night. While this is made in china, the quality of the chrome could be better, but once installed it is beautiful I am very happy with this. I looked at several box stores and lighting stores for a bathroom vanity light with style. The crystals are glass NOT plastic like some box stores. This gives off a lot of light in the bathroom. I found a matching ceiling light also on O, The matching pair give my newly remodeled bath that special something it needed....love thisRead More

Hello. I just purchased this fixture and it is absolutely stunning. I love it, however, after we hung the fixture it did not seem to be secured to the wall and teetered from side to side like a see saw. Is the main bolt in the middle of the base the only anchor point?
Thank you for your question, Cassandra. Yes, the main bolt in the middle of the base is the only anchor point. We suggests locking the main bolt tightly, then the fixture can be secured to the wall. Have a great day.
I love this light fixture! Is there any way I can replace some of the hanging crystal pieces? It seems I lost a roll during reconstruction. Help!
Hello jylianb, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Is this UL rated?
Hello, yes this fixture is UL rated. Thanks for shopping with us.
Is this safe for damp spaces, like a bathroom?
yes. We put it in our bathroom above the mirror. No problems.
Hi barbieshoes, we do not recommend using this wall sconce for damp spaces, like a bathroom. The hardwares on the item could be rusted easily. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
Yes, have it installed in the bathroom at my office and it's safe and really sparkles up the space.
yes, its in a full size bathroom over the vanity sink
I have installed this in both of my bathrooms. No problems.
What type of light bulb base does this use: candelabra, regular or halogen? The description says 60W bulb and halogen but I purchased the 3 light version of this same model and it uses candelabra base bulbs only. CS was not able to help, can someone who owns this please answer. Thanks!
We put the candelabra bulbs in. Really brightened up the bathroom
Candelabra bulb
narrow based candelabra bulbs up to 60 watts per base for a total of 240 watts
What is the total width of item and length, also depth
What is the actual dimension of the light itself? How big are the four lamps by itself, the hanging crystals part?
The width of the base it 33inches and the crystals are about 4 1/2 inches
about 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches long and 2 inches on each side of the cube shape
Does this come in a 5 or 6 light fixture just like this one? I had wanted two of the 3 lights for above my long vanity...so sad they are out of stock! Thanks so much for your time! Cindy
I do not think so, but the four light is incredible!
Are the drops made of glass, crystal, or plastic?
No they are plastic but really look real because they aren't at eye level in my bathroom but above the mirror. Don't let that stop you from purchasing them. I get lots of compliments in my new home
Hello, beth8930. Hope your day is going well and that you decide to purchase this beautiful item. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Hello, 6becky. Thanks so much for your helpful feedback. I'm glad you are enjoying your purchase. Thank you for shopping with us and please contact us at any time if you have a question of your own. Enjoy your day.
the drops are metal, not plastic. Silver colored.
We got ours couple of weeks ago. They are made of plastic.
Can you plug this into a wall outlet?
Hi curiousjo, thank you for your inquiry. This fixture does need to be hard wired. Professional installation is recommended. We do not recommend using a wall outlet without professional installation. Thanks for shopping with us.
No you can not. Only if your wall is ready for electrical previews for lighting but not for an outlet.
No, it is hardwired
The features section on this light state that the length of this light is between 18-36 inches. Is the arm part of this light actually adjustable or is it a fixed 33 inches.
Hi designcrazy, the features section are a search parameter not actually indicating the adjustability. The item is fixed at 33 inches. We apologize for the confusion.
Yes -just installed this and fixed at 33 inches
Must the lightbulbs be halogen or will any 60 watt bulb work?
Thank you for your question. Any 60 watt bulbs would work.
Any 60watt bulbs
Are these individual bulb/sconces square? If so, do you have a matching square ceiling mount fixture or chandelier?
Hello, I have found a few that would go well with this. These are all the same brand. http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=Otis+Designs+crystal+ceiling+light&taxonomy=sub34&searchtype=Header
Do you have this in a 3 bulb fixture??
Unfortunately, a search for a fixture by Otis with 3 bulbs was not successful.
The 3 light version is Item #: 14531520. Beware that it requires candelabra bulbs.
what type of bulb do I need to use with this fixture ?
Four 60-watt bulbs are needed.
I need to know the dimensions of the base that attaches to the wall. Not the dimensions of the entire fixture.
The dimensions of the wall plate are 4.75 inches long x 4.75 inches wide x 0.75 inches high.

Coffin and Mummy Board of Pasebakhaemipet
Magical decoration ensuring the deceased's wishes was at first put on tomb walls, but in Dynasty 21, the most elaborate decoration began to appear primarily on coffins.
The lid of this coffin shows Osiris, the god of the dead, depicted multiple times; Nut, the sky goddess; and, on the interior, the goddess of the afterlife—three deities who together create a miniature universe for the mummy to inhabit. The outsides of the box depict the deceased's journey to the afterlife, including the final judgment by weighing his heart against the feather of truth, while the mummy board shows him as a living presence arrived in the next world.
Carbon-14 dating conducted in 2009 indicates that Pasebakhaienipet, who was the mayor of Thebes, died between 1110 and 939 B.C.E., a date supported by the Twenty-first Dynasty style of his coffin. His elaborate coffin and mummification in the most expensive style suggest his high status in Egyptian society.

ESTO — Esto Town Council held their first public hearing and approved to move forward with the steps necessary to pursue any available Community Development Block Grants that might be available to the town during the Council's Sept. 3 meeting as recommended by Town Grant Writer Dennis Dingman.
"These grants are for communities who want to attract businesses but there's no infrastructure," said Dingman. "If the community doesn't provide the infrastructure, such as water and sewer connections, then the business would have to. In this case we got lucky because Dollar General was willing to do just that to be able to bring their business here."
Dingman said that they would pursue housing, commercial and economic development grants.
"This will cover all possible grants," he said. "You just have to do it once so that you won't have to revise it every time a new grant comes out."
Council tabled the proposal from Palmer Electric Construction Co. to install radios, cables, antenna and surge protectors at the wells for the amount of $3,575 to be in compliance with the Department of Environmental Protection.
"My only problem is that we'll not only have to put this in but we'll have to maintain it and we still need a phone line to these wells for communication and control purposes," said Town Council President Danny Powell. "I want to see if we can get the phone company to put us a line in and maybe it'll be cheaper."
Council agreed with Council member James Daniels request to get quotes on repairing and replacing any fire hydrants that are damaged or leaking.
They also agreed with Daniels' request to monitor the Town's sidewalks.
"We've been getting numerous complaints about people blocking the sidewalks with their junk lately," said Daniels. "I've seen it myself where someone had their large freezer right there on the sidewalk. That's state property and if the Department of Transportation catches them they're either give them so long to move it or they'll fine them."
Council agreed with National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, Inc. representative Pauline Wells as she explained about bringing in a state and federally funded program to train the local elderly population in current occupational skills.
"The workforce is at the mercy of the young because they are trained with the skills required for the current technology in today's workforce," said Wells. "We take those 55 years and older and we improve their learning skills so that we can get them employed with local non-profit and government entities, such as libraries and government offices."
Council discussed giving Water Operator Bill Austin a $50 raise to his monthly salary and at first it died due to lack of motion.
"When we first wanted to hire Austin he wanted $500 a year but it took it at $350 because we promised we'd eventually work up to $500," said Town Clerk Jody Sellers. "It's just asking for $50 a year until he reaches $500."
Council approved of a one time $50 raise with Council member Darlene Madden voting "no."
"I think there's people out there looking for work all the time and if we give it to him then we'd have to give it to everyone," said Madden. "We're not happy."
Council agreed to Powell's suggestion that Austin be required to attend the Council's monthly meeting and that if he can not attend then he should send a detailed report of the month's activities for the Council to review.
Madden reported that they are going to purchase a shot gun from King's Drug Store as a raffle to raise money for the Two Toe Tom Festival.
"We're also going to but a 10 foot by 10 foot brick patio beside the building," said Madden. "The bricks will be engraved and the patio will be called for things remembered. We'll charge $100 for anyone who wants a message engraved on each brick and it will be in honor or memory of someone or it can be an announcement of someone's birth or anniversary."
Madden said that she's still looking into signs to be put on the park's fence for businesses to advertise for $100 a year.
"The only thing I see that could be a possible drawback is that we'll have to maintain those signs," said Powell. "If something happens to those signs under our care it will be our responsibility to replace them."
Madden also added that she was looking to put a possible newsletter on the Town of Esto's website.
"Just be careful of the content," said Town Attorney Jeff Goodman. "You don't won't to put up anything that could come back to bite you later."
The next Esto Town Council meeting is set for 7 p.m. on Oct. 1 at the Esto Town Hall.

The Long Earth
Formats: Paperback. Audio. eBook. Hardback.
Out now!
The possibilities are endless (just be careful what you wish for...)
1916: the Western Front, France. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong, and the wind in the leaves in the trees. Where has the mud, blood and blasted landscape of No man's Land gone?
2015: Madison, Wisconsin. Cop Monica Jansson has returned to the burned-out home of one Willis Linsay, a reclusive and some said mad, others dangerous, scientist. It was arson but, as is often the way, the firemen seem to have caused more damage than the fire itself. Stepping through the wreck of a house, there's no sign of any human remains but on the mantelpiece Monica finds a curious gadget - a box, containing some wiring, a three-way switch and a...potato. It is the prototype of an invention that Linsay called a 'stepper'. An invention he put up on the web for all the world to see, and use, an invention that would to change the way mankind viewed his world Earth for ever. And that's an understatement if ever there was one...
...because the stepper allowed the person using it to step sideways into another America, another Earth, and if you kept on stepping, you kept on entering even more Earths...this is the Long Earth. It's our our Earth but one of chain of parallel worlds, lying side by side each differing from its neighbour by really very little (or actually quite a lot). It's an infinite chain, offering 'steppers' an infinite landscape of infinite possibilities. And the further away you travel, the stranger - and sometimes more dangerous - the Earths get. The sun and moon always shine, the basic laws of physics are the same. However, the chance events which have shaped our particular Earth, such as the dinosaur-killer asteroid impact, might not have happened and things may well have turned out rather differently.
But, until Willis Linsay invented his stepper, only our Earth hosted mankind...or so we thought. Because it turns out there are some people who are natural 'steppers', who don't need his invention and now the great migration has begun...
Read Stephen Baxter's account on collaborating with Sir Terry.
It appears the words from the book that we had to go here have gone back to the library, we'll see if we can persuade them to come back soon.
The Long Earth, from the synopsis it sounds like another great book, from the greatest ( in my opinion) writer of the last four decades.
i just hope that Terry can keep us faithful leagons enthralled for years to come

Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace
Summer of 2011
I spent the summer of 2011 working at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and exploring the magical world of Yellowstone National Park . The near-by Mammoth Terraces mesmerized me - an ever changing and surrealistic landscape of free flowing waters over travertine hills. The hills and basins , formed by calcium carbonate deposits, are tinted in earthy hues by the thermophilic bacteria that thrive in the warm water pools . The 170 F. water ebbs and flows according to seismic activity and slowly envelopes trees , boulders and anything else in it's path. Strolling the network of Terrace boardwalks at all hours of the day and night, photographing the dance of light on the warm pools and the hills , was one of my gifts this summer.

Right now I'm working on Sea Change by S.M. Wheeler. Has a very Neil Gaiman feel to it so far. The blurb:The unhappy child of two powerful parents who despise each other, young Lilly turns to the ocean to find solace, which she finds in the form of the eloquent and intelligent sea monster Octavius, a kraken. In Octavius's many arms, Lilly learns of friendship, loyalty, and family. When Octavius, forbidden by Lilly to harm humans, is captured by seafaring traders and sold to a circus, Lilly becomes his only hope for salvation. Desperate to find him, she strikes a bargain with a witch that carries a shocking price.
Her journey to win Octavius's freedom is difficult. The circus master wants a Coat of Illusions; the Coat tailor wants her undead husband back from a witch; the witch wants her skin back from two bandits; the bandits just want some company, but they might kill her first. Lilly's quest tests her resolve, tries her patience, and leaves her transformed in every way.

Panama has a wide mix of cultures and races, so there is a bar for everyone. Sample the artisanal brews or national beers at bars like the Golden Frog or Isthmus Bar. From the other side of the pond come traditionally European bars like Steinbucks and The Londoner that serve authentic dishes.
Lounges playing soft background music are ideal places to have a couple drinks with friends. Or savor some international flavor in bars like Havana Panama that bring a slice of Cuba to Panama. The huge variety of bars, nightclubs, lounges, pubs and casinos attests to the fact that Panamanians love to party.

Jon Bon Jovi's Daughter Arrested For Heroin Possession
Jon Bon Jovi's daughter, Stephanie R. Bongiovi has been arrested after an alleged heroin overdose in her dorm room at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. The 19-year-old was taken into custody after authorities responded to a call to emergency services.
Emergency personnel from the college arrived on the scene after Stephanie was found unresponsive in her room at 1:51 a.m. on Wednesday (November 14) morning. The nearby Kirkland Police later found drug paraphernalia and small amounts of heroin and marijuana in her room. After her release from the hospital, Stephanie was arrested, ticketed for drug possession and sent on her way.
Another Hamilton student, 21-year-old Ian S. Grant, also from Bongiovi's hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey, was charged with heroin possession and released back to the college. Reps from the elite private school released an official statement with regard to the arrests:
"Out of respect for the privacy of our students and in accordance with federal regulations we do not discuss individual health or disciplinary matters."

If you're a people person, Human resources could be a great career field for you.
Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a concentration in Human Resource Development
The human resource field provides a growing range of opportunities for those who enjoy working with people; and earning your human resource degree online or on campus with Herzing is the perfect starting point. Depending on the size of your company, you could be in charge of hiring employees, managing healthcare plans, handling payroll, and/or making sure your company follows all worker health and safety regulations.
In addition, new kinds of human resource and business management specialists will be needed. Companies will soon be hiring more employment mediators, for example, to ensure better negotiations between labor and management. Opportunities are also predicted to grow for international human resource managers and human resource information systems specialists.
Opportunities will be best for those who have a college degree, have earned certification, and have taken a wide variety of Human Resources (HR) and business management classes.
Can you combine good communications with creative solutions?
Successful human resource managers have a gift for establishing positive lines of communication and building trust between people. They are able to generate creative win-win solutions as well as stay calm while mediating angry disputes.

- Like clear guidelines and can follow rules and procedures
- Value common sense

- Trust facts
- Have good people skills

Bachelor of Science in Human Resources Management Gainful Employment
What are the career opportunities in this field?
Employers seek graduates of human resource or bachelor degree programs when filling entry-level human resource positions. Depending on the organization the position will serve, employers may prefer applicants with a particular type of experience background, such as manufacturing, technology, or legal, to match with the company's industry; this experience translates into a better understanding of the concerns of the employee groups who work at the organization.
Typical duties for entry-level personnel will vary depending on the specialty area, but they typically include administrative duties such as data-entry, phone reception, and researching data; these duties will help the new HR professional learn about the organization and profession. Larger employers often have an on-the-job training program that progressively introduces the new hire to the different areas and tasks within the human resources department(s), allowing them to work with each for several months before placing them in a specific area the best suits their skills, interests, and the organization's needs.
Below is a breakdown of the number of human resources professionals in each occupational specialty:
- Training and development specialists – 205,020
- Employment, recruitment and placement specialists – 198,190
- Human resource managers – 62,990
- Compensation, benefits and job analysis specialists – 111,890
- Human resources, training, and labor relations specialists, all other – 219,240
Where do they work?
Human resource professionals typically work in an office environment. Some may work from home occasionally, and others travel frequently (especially those performing recruiting or training roles). Work weeks are typically 40 hours, however those involved in contract disputes or mediation may work additional hours when contracts are being prepared and negotiated.
Positions in human resources often receive compensation and benefits packages that include health care, retirement savings plan(s) and paid vacation/sick time.
How do I advance in this career?
A formal college education is required for advancement in the field of human resource management. Certain specialties or employers may require a master's degree with a concentration in human resources. Certification is also highly desirable by employers, and most upper-level human resource professionals have at least one certification.
What is the job outlook for this career?
As the number of businesses increases, employment in human resources-related careers is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. Many of these new positions will be created by employers as a measure to ensure all occupational safety, equal opportunity, family leave and other regulations/guidelines are met. Other human resources professionals will be employed to create enticing benefits packages that will help a company offset the rising cost of health care benefits for its employees with other perks.
Because this function is becoming increasingly important to businesses small and large, the number of human resources consulting agencies is also increasing. These agencies can offer lucrative careers for professionals with specialty areas such as employee compensation and training. Those with college degrees and certification will have the greatest job prospects.

Meditation is a universal spiritual wisdom and a practice that we find at the core of all the great religious traditions, leading from the mind to the heart. It is a way of simplicity, silence and stillness. It can be practised by anyone from wherever you are on your life's journey. It is only necessary to be clear about the practice and then to begin – and keep on beginning.
In Christianity this tradition became marginalised and even forgotten or suspect. But in recent times a great recovery of the contemplative dimension of Christian faith has been happening. Central to this now is the rediscovery of a practice of meditation in the Christian tradition that comes to us from the early Christian monks _ the Desert Fathers and Mothers and allows us to put into practice the teaching of Jesus on prayer in a radical and simple way.
John Main has a major role in this contemporary renewal of the contemplative tradition. His teaching of this ancient tradition of prayer is rooted in the Gospels and the early Christian monastic tradition of the Desert.
Open to all ways of wisdom but drawing directly from the early Christian teaching John Main summarised the practice in this simple way:
Sit down. Sit still with your back straight. Close your eyes lightly. Then interiorly, silently begin to recite a single word – a prayer word or mantra. We recommend the ancient Christian prayer-word "Maranatha". Say it as four equal syllables. Breathe normally and give your full attention to the word as you say it, silently, gently, faithfully and above all - simply. The essence of meditation is simplicity. Stay with the same word during the whole meditation and from day to day. Don't visualise but listen to the word as you say it. Let go of all thoughts (even good thoughts), images and other words. Don't fight your distractions but let them go by saying your word faithfully, gently and attentively and returning to it immediately that you realise you have stopped saying or it or when your attention is wandering.
Silence means letting go of thoughts. Stillness means letting go of desire. Simplicity means letting go of self-analysis.
Meditate twice a day every day. This daily practice may take you sometime to develop. Be patient. When you give up start again. You will find that a weekly meditation group and a connection with a community may help you develop this discipline and allow the benefits and fruits of meditation to pervade your mind and every aspect of your life in ways that will teach and delight you. John Main said that 'meditation verifies the truths of your faith in your own experience'
Meditation has the capacity to open up the common ground between all cultures and faiths today. What makes meditation Christian? Firstly the faith with which you meditate – some sense of personal connection with Jesus. Then the historical scriptural and theological tradition in which we meditate.
Also, the sense of community it leads to: 'when two or three pray together in my name, I am there among them.' And the other means by which our spiritual life is nourished – the other forms of prayer like scripture, sacraments and worship. Meditation does not replace other forms of prayer. Quite the reverse it revives their meaning.
Finally - but also primarily - we meditate to take the attention off ourselves. In the Christian tradition it is seen as a work of love. Not surprising then if we find we become more loving people as a result of meditating and this will express itself in all our relationships, our work and our sense of service especially to those in any kind of need.
Meditation is both solitary and communal. You can connect with others who meditate through these pages and find your journey deepened and strengthened. There is a lot to learn about this way – through our School, readings and dialogue. But the bottom line is always your personal practice. As John Cassian said in the 4th century: 'experience is the teacher'.
Meditation helps people of all ages and cultures to find a simple and practical way to awaken and deepen their spiritual life. Children can and like to meditate and their example shows us all how simple and natural it is.
Opening Prayer of Dom John Main
"Heavenly Father, open our hearts to the silent presence of the spirit of your Son. Lead us into that mysterious silence where your love is revealed to all who call, 'Maranatha…Come, Lord Jesus'."
In 1976, shortly after he had begun his public teaching on meditation, John Main composed this prayer for his first set of tapes. Later it was published in his first book "Word into Silence".
In few words it expresses both the essence of the Christian understanding of prayer and the sense that we do not pray in isolation but also as members of the community of the Body of Christ.
Having at first been introduced to meditation through its universal tradition in the East many years before he had become a monk, he was experientially prepared to recognize the essential Christian expression of the teaching when he encountered it in the Conferences of John Cassian and the Christian medieval tradition in the late sixties.
It was not, however until a few years later that he realized how deeply enriching and universal this approach to contemplation could be in the church at large. At first he had seen it as a way of monastic renewal. But through his experience of teaching lay people of all ages and walks of life at his monastery in London he understood that here was a simple yet transforming practice of the prayer of the heart that could be followed as a gentle and daily discipline by all disciples of Jesus.
John Main's theology of meditation is both Christocentric and profoundly Trinitarian as this prayer shows. He has been well called a 'Trinitarian mystic'. Many individual meditators and meditation groups around the world today begin their silent meditation that takes them beyond all words with this short prayer which comprehends the mystery of silence in the experience of the God who is communion in love.
The mantra 'maranatha' that was John Main's preferred recommendation to people beginning meditation is the oldest Christian prayer (it means 'come, Lord'), in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, used by St Paul at the end of the First Letter to the Corinthians (16:22) and found in the earliest Christian liturgies.
Closing Prayer by Laurence Freeman OSB
"May this group be a true spiritual home for the seeker, a friend for the lonely, a guide for the confused. May those who pray here be strengthened by the Holy Spirit to serve all who come, and to receive them as Christ Himself. In the silence of this room may all the suffering, violence, and confusion of the world encounter the Power that will console, renew and uplift the human spirit.
May this silence be a power to open the hearts of men and women to the vision of God, and so to each other, in love and peace, justice and human dignity. May the beauty of the divine life, fill this group and the hearts of all who pray here, with joyful hope. May all who come here weighed down by the problems of humanity leave giving thanks for the wonder of human life. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. AMEN."
At the opening of the first Christian Meditation Centre in London in 1984 Laurence Freeman composed this prayer a few minutes before the people attending the blessing of the house arrived. It has often been adapted by meditation groups and other communities both in The World Community for Christian Meditation and elsewhere.
The prayer grew out of this particular Community's experience that meditation, the practice of contemplation, creates and nurtures the growth of community into the full human maturity of peace and justice. Although it is a solitary practice it reveals solitude as the recognition and acceptance of each person's eternal uniqueness and the eternal and unique value we share with every creature in the cosmos.
From this naturally flows the power of compassion that is the pure fruit of meditation and the most powerful force in the world for the transformation of darkness into light, for the healing of human wounds and the relief of suffering.
Lectio Divina as a spiritual practice in the life of the Christian meditator
Lectio Divina we learn to know the heart of God, through the Word of God.
Saint Gregory the Great
"Saint Benedict saw lectio, spiritual reading, as an integral part of our Christian living. . . . The purpose of lectio is to help us respond to the presence of God in his Word. . . Lectio prepares us for the mystery of God – a mystery that 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard'. We have to be clear that it does prepare us. The movement itself is accomplished by the redemptive love of Jesus that we encounter as our spirit open fully to his life released in our hearts."
From Community of Love, "The Monastic Adventure". John Main OSB
"When we are open and receptive to the Word of God, conversion happens. It is not a matter of changing our opinions or acquiring a new spiritual home. It is a revolution in the deep structures of the personality that, if it is genuine, goes on for the rest of our lives."
From Laurence Freeman OSB – Introduction to The Burning Heart. Gregory Ryan.
In the centuries-old tradition of lectio divina – which is Latin for sacred reading – it is suggested that, before or after your morning or evening meditation, you read a passage of scripture. After reading this go back to it, either then or later, and spend some time – even 15 or 20 minutes if you can - reverently turning the passage over in your heart. Read slowly and lovingly, pausing whenever the words draw you into silence. Close your eyes and experience the meaning of the words for you now. But even more, experience the presence found in them. Let the reality of the words become more and more a part of your being.
During the time of lectio, the historical setting of the passage is not as important as the place it has in your life now. In a real sense, you are not the same person you were ten, five or even one year ago. Since you are always a 'new person' your response to the Word will never be the same. You may find yourself making acts of the will to conform you life more to the message of the text. One day you may rest in a deep peace. Another day you may be aware of tension, anger or sorrow. These feelings should not cause any anxiety because they are all part of God's healing action at work in you. In time, you will learn to accept yourself as a work-in-progress, and your growing appreciation for the Living Word of God will lead you to a life of constant wonder, gratitude and love. Adapted from - The Burning Heart, Gregory Ryan
A Simple Way of Lectio Divina
Your words were found and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart. (Jeremiah 15:16)
Prepare for your time of Lectio in a similar way as to how you prepare for meditation. Allow 15 – 20 minutes to slowly move through the stages outlined
Reading / Lectio
(Listening) Read the passage slowly, two or three times and notice what word or phrase speaks to you. - What am I hearing?
Meditation / Meditatio
(Repetition) Repeat the word or phrase over and over, allow it to sink into and act on your heart, notice any feelings, thoughts, questions arising and allow these to touch your life. - How is this touching me?
Prayer / Oratio
(Listening) Listen for what you sense the Lord is saying to you now. Take this to heart and ask for the grace to be taught and formed by the Word of God.
- What new insight am I being invited to embrace? What am I hearing?
- How is this touching me?
- What new insight am I being invited to embrace?
- How will I respond?
You could also form a short mental prayer around your response.
Contemplation / Contemplatio
(Being) Stay quietly with whatever is happening, and trust this. Now is the time to stop pondering, and allow yourself to be with what is, knowing that the Lord loves you and wants what is best for you.
The next step
"The next step is to start the work of silence, the saying of the word throughout the time of meditation. You will find that lectio is an enriching form of prayer that will help you enter more fully into the separate time of prayer set aside for meditation with the mantra. Your meditation – called 'pure prayer' because in it we 'abandon all the riches of thought and imagination (Cassian, Conference X) – also prepares the heart for lectio but also for the Eucharist and all other forms of prayer in a contemplative spirit. All prayer is a participation in the prayer of Jesus. In that sense all our forms of prayer are preparations for this grace of participation." (Laurence Freeman OSB)
Why do Christian Meditators call the prayer word a 'mantra'?
The mantra, taking us into the present moment and beyond the ego, slips through the narrow gate into the city of God. (John Main, Word Made Flesh)
The tradition of 'monologistic' prayer – prayer that employs one sacred word recited continuously in the heart and mind in faith – is a venerable tradition in Christianity. It began perhaps with reverence for the name of Jesus (at which every knee shall bend' Phil 2:10). This use of the Holy Name also became established later in the various forms of hesychasm and the Jesus Prayer of the Orthodox Church. In the western Church the first master of this prayer was John Cassian. The first detailed description of this form of prayer is found in the Desert tradition in Conference X of Cassian.
Here he recommends the verse (Psalm 69.2) 'O God come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me'. St Benedict later adopted this as the opening verse of the Divine Office, a place it occupies to our day. A thousand years later in England the anonymous author of the Cloud of Unknowing recommends the same form of prayer but suggests the use of a single monosyllabic word such as 'God'.
In the twentieth century John Main inheriting and passing on the same tradition recommended the early Aramaic Christian prayer 'maranatha'. This is a scriptural phrase meaning 'Come Lord' (1Cor: 16:22), in the language Jesus spoke, Aramaic, and a sacred phrase in the early Christian liturgy. There are many other examples of suggested prayer-words in the history of Christian prayer reflecting the particular epoch or the personality of the master of prayer who was leading others into contemplative silence and stillness (hesychia) in the heart. Common to the tradition is the emphasis on continuous repetition of the word with deepening faith and fidelity to the same word as it becomes rooted in the heart and opens the grace of contemplation – our entry into the prayer of Jesus himself in the Holy Spirit.
Those who used the name of Jesus would call the word simply 'the Name' or the 'Holy Name'. Cassian does not recommend the name and calls the verse he suggests calls it a 'formula'. This term meant 'rule or principle'. That is, 'formula' did not have a specifically sacred meaning but referred to a template or the standard use of the same word or phrase recited faithfully in all conditions of mind and leading the one praying to poverty of spirit.
John Main refers to the prayer-word as 'the word' or the 'mantra'. Why does he use the term 'mantra' especially as this term is associated with eastern forms of meditation?
To understand this it is necessary to remember the religious environment in which John Main personally recovered and first began to teach meditation in the Christian tradition. Before he entered monastic life John Main had first encountered this practice in the East though he always practiced it as a form of Christian prayer. It was there that he first encountered the term 'mantra' which carried the sense of a 'word or formula chanted or sung as an incantation or prayer.' Twenty years later when he had re-read Cassian and encountered this way of prayer in the Christian tradition he resumed his own practice and was led to see its universal relevance for contemporary Christian spirituality.
By 1975 various forms of eastern meditation had been become popular in the west, in particular Transcendental Meditation. Thus the word mantra had entered popular language. Today the word is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, defined as a 'sacred text or passage' with a first English usage dated 1801. Most often today the word is used in a secular context to refer to politicians' repeated promises!
Some people hearing the word 'mantra' used in connection with Christian prayer may feel uncertain or confused because of its eastern associations. Since 1975, since John Main used it as a Christian term with no specific debt to the east it has, however, become familiar to many Christians. We can now say it belongs to the vocabulary t of Christian spirituality.
In the same way the full import of the word 'meditation', which of course goes back to the roots of the Christian tradition, also needs to be recovered and understood in its original, more contemplative sense. For many Christians 'meditation' became restricted to mental prayer, employing thought and imagination especially in reflection on the scriptures. This is very valid form of prayer – also and sometimes better described as 'lectio'. 'Meditation' in its original sense of leading into to non-discursive, silent, imageless prayer or contemplation was also popularized in the west in modern times through eastern spiritualities and methods. The challenge John Main addressed was to recover and reinstate the full meaning of 'meditation' in the Christian world.
There are then two reasons supporting the use of the term 'mantra'. First, that it has acquired a universal usage and is widely understood in a Christian context. Second, that for some people learning of the contemplative dimension of prayer for the first time may require some careful reflection and discussion. Being encouraged to think about what 'mantra' and 'meditation' mean can be a stimulus for the modern Christian to understand and recover the contemplative dimension of their faith and prayer-life.
For a more traditional audience this will need sensitive help from the person presenting Christian meditation. So the word mantra may need to be explained when it is first used in a teaching session. For example in introducing Christian meditation to a new audience, especially a non-English speaking one, it may be wiser first to use the terms word or prayer word. Then at the point in the introduction when a specific word is recommended – for example, Jesus or Abba or maranatha the speaker can refer to them as 'early Christian mantras or sacred words'.
Keeping these sensitivities and background in mind it has been the experience of The World Community for Christian Meditation, now present in more than a hundred countries, that the term 'mantra' is not at all a serious impediment to the transmission of this teaching. The greater challenge is to help people already praying in sacramental or devotional ways to understand, through their own experience, the full meaning of contemplation and the prayer of the heart. Even though for some people the term 'mantra' may cause an initial confusion, being helped to understand its meaning may help them grasp better what meditation itself means as a way beyond words, thoughts and images into the silence of Christ. This is expressed in the opening prayer which John Main composed for Christian meditation:
Heavenly father, open my heart to the silent presence of the spirit of your Son. Lead me into that mysterious silence where your love is revealed to all who call maranatha, come Lord Jesus.
Laurence Freeman OSB

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Meagan Mahlberg (Mus'08,MA'11) knew bliss would come, and almost precisely when.
It was late fall and the 28-year-old soprano was preparing for her role in CU-Boulder's spring production of Mozart's Così fan tutte. Group rehearsals had barely begun. Orchestral accompaniment was months away. But she'd done her homework and sensed already that her second-act aria would deliver a drawn-out moment of pure transcendence as scores of musicians reached full throttle and she drew out a high note in a hall seating thousands.
Set against a backdrop of whining power saws and pounding hammers, scenic artists create self-contained worlds in which the Colorado Shakespeare Festival performances come to life. The painters wield brushes like magicians, transforming foam to stone, plain walls into gilded rooms, and new materials into antiques.
D.B. Cooper. Amelia Earhart. Jimmy Hoffa. All prominent Americans whose unexplained disappearances have fascinated and confounded armchair historians and professionals alike—and created fertile ground for all manner of wild explanations and conspiracy theories.
Ditto for Glenn Miller, one of the University of Colorado Boulder's most illustrious alumni, who was the nation's most famous big-band leader when he disappeared Dec. 15, 1944, after heading out over the English Channel on a small military plane bound for Paris.
James Austin has been named interim dean of CU-Boulder's College of Music, Provost Russell Moore announced today. The appointment is effective on July 1.
Austin, a professor of music education, joined the College of Music in 1994. He has served as associate dean of undergraduate studies since 2006. He was the music education chair from 1997 to 2007. In 2004, the college awarded Austin the Richard Bern Trego faculty fellowship.
Patrick Mason, a professor of voice at the University of Colorado Boulder's College of Music, has been selected to receive the 2012 Hazel Barnes Prize. The prize is the highest faculty recognition for teaching and research awarded by the university.
Mason will receive an engraved university medal and $20,000, the largest single faculty award funded by CU-Boulder. He will be recognized at spring commencement on May 11 and at a reception in his honor in the fall.
The Trying on Teaching program at the College of Music is a continuum of teaching and mentoring experiences in which middle school band students are taught by high school students, who are mentored by undergraduate music students, who in turn are advised by graduate music students.
Developed in 2008 by James Austin, professor of music education and associate dean of undergraduate studies, and Peter Miksza, assistant professor of music education, the goal is to attract the next generation of music teachers.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
