There are 8 billion people in this world, and chances are good you are not going to see eye to eye with all of them.  However, as I discussed this week, connection exists between absolutely everyone.  Today I talk about how to create a connection with those who anger you.

From birth we are told that we are unique, but it goes beyond feeling special.  As we grow we are constantly being told that we are different from everyone else, that we need to stand out.  This belief is perpetuated throughout your entire life unless you have the benefit of meditation to help you feel connected.  Today I talk about the many places you are told you are separate, and how you begin to rethink that understanding for yourself.

The greatest benefit of meditation is the feeling of connection you feel with all life. This connection benefits the you and the world, and pushes us closer to world peace. This week I focus exclusively on helping you understand the benefit you experience when you create community through meditation.

A traditional walking meditation may be a bit overwhelming for a beginning meditator, so I have developed a simpler meditation for beginners.

The new year is approaching and many people are getting ready to find out the habit that will set them free, make their lives as close to perfect as possible. Of course, one habit with incredible value is meditation.  But, many people who want to start a new habit in the new year will be unsuccessful.  Research says that 90% will abandon their new goals before the end of February.  If you are thinking of meditation as a daily practice to implement, then I have five ways to keep you from being a statistic

This morning I practiced a complete Zazen meditation. Come hear what was awesome about it, and what was a little tougher.

On Friday, I started talking about another form of meditation, Zazen.  Today I want to continue with that discussion to talk about the practice a bit more, to discuss how to stay with it and how to make it a daily practice.
