It's an incredibly powerful practice that puts the predictive power of your brain to work for you to create the future you want. This session begins with a simple mindfulness of breath practice, simply resting in awareness of the sensations of breathing in the body. After settling the mind on the breath, I invite you to bring ...

One of the most important parts of living a fulfilled and happy life is answering the question "What is enough?". It seems simple but in our culture of "more, more, more" this question looms large for all of us; not just with our money but with our time, energy, effort, and so much more. We may feel like we don't have enough, that we're not doing enough or even that we, ourselves, are not enough. I know I've felt all of these and am still reflecting to learn more on how these beliefs show up i...

Impermanence - the fact of life that everything is constantly changing and nothing stays the same for long - can be best observed and experienced within our own body. I took this picture in November 2017 on the last day of my 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Northern California. It was at this retreat that I truly observed the impermanence of life, not on an intellectual level but on an experiential level. At this retreat we practiced body scan meditation, being aware of each part...

In life it's easy to get pulled off course despite the best intentions. I find that meditation and the cultivation of mindfulness offers a moment by moment experience of this fact of life. Despite our best intentions to focus our awareness on our breath, our attention wanders away into distraction, story, planning, etc. It can be minutes before we even notice we've been pulled away. But the beautiful thing about the practice is that once we notice our mind has wandered, we are already aware ag...
