Having heard about the movement at church, my wife and I dove in and began to use Maranatha Fitness Meditation about five weeks ago. Maranatha Fitness Meditation is a 32 minute Christian musical mantra piece.
I cannot begin to describe this experience but am curious to see how others receive it. You can go here to download it . . .

The amazing thing is that, while walking or on the elliptical or in the weight room, we have experienced the same stillness that we do in seated meditation.
It seems that a repeated mantra - in a trance/eastern musical context - causes a MAJOR shift in our consciousness - turning working out into its own type of meditation.
We play the fitness meditation in our iPhones and, as my wife put it, "I lose myself. I am gone. A space opens up in the midst of the workout and I am suddenly in a meditative state that turns moving into stillness!"
We love it. Let us know how it works out for you!
