Meditation is a direct experience. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what works for me or for the person sitting on the cushion next to you. What matters is what works for you.
As a meditation teacher, my job is to help you find what meditative technique(s) work for you. My job is to help you realize that your precious life is worth fully inhabiting. My job is to help you experience the power of a meditative lifestyle.
Your meditation practice begins on the cushion (or chair), but your life occurs in the world. It is inseparable from the countless interactions you have with your family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and the rest of humanity. It is inseparable from the countless interactions and dialogue you have with yourself.
While it is invaluable to establish a consistent, daily meditation practice, what is equally as important is that you know how to integrate simple but powerful meditative techniques into your daily life so that you can move through your day with intention, presence and grace.
If you are looking for a teacher who will help you see lights, colors and visions in your meditation, please consider this carefully. The most important light I will help you see is the light in your heart and the light in the heart of every other fellow traveler on this earth. The most beautiful colors I will help you see are the colors of compassion, which transcend race, color, class, creed, ethnicity, nationality, religion and any other box we try to use to separate ourselves from one another. And the most exquisite vision I will help you see is the vision of peace, born out of our basic goodness, our basic oneness.
If you are interested in learning about these things, if you are interested in embodying these things, welcome to The Deep Calm. I look forward to helping you discover your peace.
