“Meditation without concepts, without sidetracks of any kind, is our practice. Within that basic practice there should be a friendly attitude toward oneself as well as a sense of radiating that friendliness. This friendliness can permeate our environment, which includes our living situation and all the people in our lives.”
Meditation and healthy living
Practices and routines that help connect to our physical, emotional, and mental states in real-time are the core of healthy living. Meditation is a powerful and effective way to strengthen this embodied self-awareness. Paying attention to our internal experience activates our body’s innate self-healing and self-correcting abilities. It also empowers us to do things that will truly help us feel healthy and engaged with the world as we want to be.
Meditation is based on an internal environment of friendliness, steadiness, and strength. From this ground, we learn to accommodate whatever arises in our present embodied experience without drifting into distracting thoughts or getting overwhelmed by strong emotions. Over time, meditation helps us bring our thoughts, emotions, and embodied experience into healthy balance. When confronted by stressful situations or difficult decisions, meditation helps us remain rooted in how we feel in our bodies, which helps us metabolize challenging situations and respond in the best way possible.

About Me
I have been meditating for 15 years and mentoring individuals and groups for nearly 10 years in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition. I believe the simplicity, precision, and embodiment of meditation practice inspires friendliness to ourselves, creativity, and contentment. Above all, meditation is a natural human practice that helps us fully engage our lives. I am so excited to be offering weekly online meditation gatherings, 1-on-1 coaching, and courses. I hope you will join me.
