On Halloween, turnout at the Advaita Meditation Center in Waltham was lower than usual, but still, nearly 30 people filled the rooms of the old Victorian mansion. They attended a variety of classes, from beginning to advanced meditation, or gathered informally at a drop-in session to repeat their mantras and corral their minds.
Charnan Bray, an ESL teacher who lives in Waltham, is a newcomer. She considers herself an on-again off-again meditator who wants to become more serious about her practice. She went through a divorce last year and is looking for a way to become more mindful and reduce the stress in her life.

Great article. You've got me interested in meditation! With the medical issues we have in our society this sounds like something that could be very helpful.
Thanks for a very helpful article. There are also local meditation groups in two Christian traditions, Christian Meditation (http://www.wccm-usa.org) and Centering Prayer (http://cochapters.com/newengland.htm).
