Today’s class is the 3rd installment in our Begin Again series. This series was designed to help you start and maintain a consistent meditation practice, and today’s offering is, for me at least, the most important element in keeping a meditation practice consistent –Sangha

This week we learn about taking refuge inside our practice. We learn about Dharma – the teachings. the path. the Truth. – and, we learn how this affects change.

I couldn’t be more excited to share this class with you all. This is the first in a new 3-week offering – Begin Again. This series is designed to offer you the essential teachings to start and, more importantly, MAINTAIN a meditation practice!!

I wrote you guys a little story… poem… parable :-)The last few weeks have been the PERFECT example of how a meditation practice can fall by the wayside in the blink of an eye.

Walking meditation can be a soulful commune with nature; it can also be a quick escape from the holiday chaos when you need a moment to rebalance. Consider it a healthier version of the smoke-break 

Today’s meditation offering is for when we forget. When we forget who we want to be in the world and how we want to act… When we get caught in stress/fear/anger and fall into our habitual ways of thinking.

Have you noticed that when we are in our bubble of stress or overwhelm that we stop seeing other people as actual people? They simply become someone in the way…

Swami Rama once said, “Contentment is falling in love with your life.” If you’ve ever been in a long-term relationship you already know – falling in love doesn’t happen at once. It happens in fits and starts, over and over again. There is the initial fall, the later moments of irritations and hurts, the deeper discoveries of connection and intimacy, more hurts, more connection… and on and on it goes.
