Most of the times when I speak to my Mom, I keep the lessons to myself. Mainly, because the value they hold is more personal than communal. But today, I had a talk with my Mom that may be beneficial for all people to hear. Come Listen. It’s a short one. :0)

Today I want to introduce you to a very good friend of mine, Pierre Motor. He is the go-to guy for all things productivity. As a coach he instructs his students in a host of ways how to become their ultimate focused self. And while it isn’t his main secret weapon, meditation has aided him in his journey and those of his clients for many years.

Joy is a wonderfully light energy that lifts our spirits, helps us appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Hopefully, you know that experiencing and observing the joy of others brings about the same result; a lightness of being. If you were unsure, today’s post by Scott Tusa will make it wonderfully clear.

Karma is an often used word in our culture. However, many times it is referenced incorrectly, veering from its Buddhist roots. Today though, Thanissaro Bhikkhu talks about it in its true sense; and how it helps pave a path to freedom.

It's been a while since I have recorded a meditation strictly for Zen Commuter.  But the time has come.  The 16 minute meditation I created is to help practitioners connect to universal consciousness.  The recording starts with breath work, then transitions to body awareness and ultimately with a visualization.  Please head out to www.patreon.com/zencommuter to avail yourself to the MP3 file.  Enjoy.
