Guided Meditations

Some of these meditations are more about developing a stable focus in the present, others work on our approach/mindset, and others still seek to develop things like loving-kindness or wisdom.

As a way to orient your actual practice, I recommend everyone have some sort of anchoring practice that functions like a “homebase,” as in a method you build a relationship with and can use on and off the cushion to ground in mindfulness.  It’s also essential to have the right attitude or mindset toward practice.

I periodically release new guided meditations, some that make it to this page, and some exclusively shared with those who subscribe to my twice-a-month newsletter.
