- About Meditation
The Life-Changing Power of Letting Go [Today, in Day 5 of the 10-Day Meditation Challenge, we explore the practice and principle of letting go with a reading, a short talk, and a guided meditation.] I spent 14 years, from the age of 25 to 39, living in a spiritual ashram. That’s the Hindu equivalent of […]

How Hard Should You Try In Meditation? - About Meditation
Should you make lots of effort in your meditation practice? Or is that counterproductive in a practice that’s really all about letting go? It’s a great question. And the answer isn’t so obvious. But if you’re serious about making progress on the path of meditation, it’s a question you can’t ignore. Why? Because you need […]
Mindfulness... Then What? - About Meditation
A client of mine, who is a doctor, recounted a story where a patient of his came back to his hospital weeks after he had been seen. His patient was irate, feeling my client hadn’t “put the dots together” and therefore didn’t prevent his heart attack. My client, with decades of experience under his […]
Meditation Made Easy - About Meditation
Can you learn to do nothing at all? In my work I really try to make meditation as easy as possible for everyone. That is not because I lack appreciation for the profound depth and profundity of this practice – in fact quite the opposite. I realize that true meditation means simply resting in the […]
Accessing Unlimited Possibility - About Meditation
Possibility is a powerful word. Whenever we say something is possible it means it can happen. It is real. Reality is defined by what is possible and what is not possible. Changing our reality means changing what is possible. Our sense of self is created out of the ideas that we hold about who we […]
This Is How Becoming A Father Transformed Me - About Meditation
I’m 41 years old and have a 2-year-old son. Relatively speaking, I’m a little late to the parenting game. Until a few years ago, I had no interest in having children whatsoever. I had lived in an intense intentional spiritual community for 14 years that suited my inclinations. I didn’t understand the value of devoting […]
Meditation is a Journey - About Meditation
Recently a client asked me to introduce him to meditation. After I explained the basic ins-and-outs of it, he asked, “So it provides relief? That’s why people do it?” I chuckled at this question, as it was trying to apply a goal-oriented mindset to something that inherently is a process. A Completely Different Approach In […]

How to Boost your Meditation with Embodiment - About Meditation
Are you in your body? Pause and examine your experience. Right now. Before reading further. I don’t mean that I want a catalog of your sensations, your thoughts and emotions. Observing and cataloging is one way to connect with your somatic experience. It’s a core technique in many mindfulness practices. But observing and cataloging is […]
How Meditation Changes Your Identity - About Meditation
Until last month, I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since I was 7 years old. I liked them at first because they made me look like Brainy Smurf, who was clearly smart. But as I grew older, so did my nearsightedness. By my awkward teenage years, my glasses became coke bottle telescopes. While contact lenses helped with my […]
Patience is Action - About Meditation
Patience does not come easy to me. I’m a sales professional for a consulting firm and avid marathoner: two worlds where success is equated to time and every number counts. A million dollars loses its value if it’s earned over two years instead of one; 26.2 miles ran in two hours versus three separates the Olympian […]
