I began my meditation practice back in 1982, when I was eighteen years old. I consider it to be the most impactful skill I have learned in my life.  It still keeps me centered all these years later, and it will do the same for you as well.

That’s where I started.

Through the years, and up to now, I have kept my meditation practice consistent. In between those times I have interviewed noted meditation thought leaders on my podcast, Zen Commuter and studied extensively on a variety of meditation practices.  I have devoted my life to helping people become calmer and more purposeful through a mindfulness practice.

Why?

Because it is the only way to change the world. 

When you are stressed and feeling isolated, you aren’t living your life, because you are too busy responding to the world around you.

Multiply that times 8 billion+ people on the planet and you have a world that doesn’t know peace.  You have a world that is fearful, intolerant and aggressive.  

When you meditate you become aware of who you are, what you can do. You realize what truly matters

Even more happens when you practice. Of course you become calmer, but the more you practice (daily is optimal), the more you begin to feel connected.  You feel connected to every one and every living thing.  The need to fight is lessened, if not extinguished. 

With the stillness of meditation you begin to understand who you are, and what has meaning for you.  With that peace and understanding, you finally begin to live your life, your purposeful life.
