Despite all the adjectives people may be using to describe 2020, there still are ways to see things in a way that promotes peace and compassion. For the next few days i will be reading posts that teach us how to use 2500 year old wisdom to better accept the current health crisis.

As a musician, I have a profound respect and appreciation for other more accomplished musicians. It astounds me how composers are able to marry the sounds of a variety of instruments so perfectly. Chris Collins is such a composer. Even better is the fact that he creates music to enhance our meditation practice. On top of all that, he is a kind, warm and funny guy. I had the best time speaking with him as you will come to find out. Enjoy!

Today I share a great article from Lion's Roar that talks about the things meditation cannot do.

Today I talk about why a slight arch in the lower back is beneficial for meditating.  I use a great article by Anne Asher to help demonstrate.  Come Listen.

You don't need to sit in the traditional Lotus position to meditate.  There is a posture that needs to be maintained, but it can be performed in a regular chair with a supported back.  To hear how to sit to meditate, simply tune in today.

If you have a somewhat consistent morning meditation practice but sometimes blow it off, then you will want to listen to today's episode. It's all about becoming a more consistent practitioner

In preparation for next week's interview with Insight timer musician Chris Collins I thought I would play a piece that he kindly agreed to share with us.  Enjoy Stress Melt! :0)

Everyone knows it's important to have a healthy body, but its equally so to have a healthy mind.  Today I read a great blog post from Insight Timer about creating your own mental gym.

Last week I told you why I meditate so that you could get ideas for your own practice.  Today I do the same thing by reading an article by Sabene Selassie

Today I read a great article by Jill Suttie of Greatergood.berkeley.edu that talks about the physical benefits of meditation.  Enjoy.
