In 1988, Terry Martin had difficulty formulating, much less expressing, her ideas in conversation. She found it too hard to focus on her thoughts. "I wanted to learn how to concentrate better," she says. Martin began taking classes to quiet her mind and understand her own thinking through meditation and intuition development. Today, Martin comfortably speaks in front of others as a teacher and director of the School of Metaphysics (4323 Rainbow Boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas, 913-236-9292), where folks have gone since the mid-1970s to improve the power of their minds — and their lives. Martin helps people listen better, to each other and to themselves. "Think the thoughts that will create the life you want," she urges. What better time to start doing that than the beginning of the year? Whether you want to enhance personal relationships or your tennis game, the weekly, ongoing
Mastery of Consciousness classes may help. The first class begins at 7:30 p.m. A $20 donation is requested. For more information, call the school or see
