Many things happen in meditations.  Sometimes you have a simple break from rushing around, and other times you have epiphanies that have you questioning what you thought you knew about the world.  Sometimes, a session is right in the middle.  Come Listen.

There are many things that new meditators grapple with when it comes to techniques, but these three points are crucial to their meditation practice.

In the spirit of the season, the truest meaning of the season, I share a great article from the Lion's Roar that talks about what Christmas means for 7 Buddhists.  Enjoy.

Today I share an article that admittedly had me feeling pretty human, rife with ego and judgment.  Thankfully Bart came to the rescue.  Let's talk about it.

For many people, this time of year is full of holidays. With those holidays can be a great deal of commotion. It may mean going to a bustling mall to get shopping done, or heading into a holiday party.

Today I continue talking about the ten precepts; why they were created and by whom. Enjoy.

Today we are learning together. I recently was reading a book about Buddhism. It wasn’t anything heavy duty. In fact it was the exact opposite, which is why i picked it up. In it, the author talks about the 10 precepts in Buddhism. He began to list them out and it made me think of the ten commandments. I didn’t think that Buddhism had anything that dogmatic so i decided to investigate a little further, and I thought I could use your company. Let’s learn together.

The other day I mentioned Tonglen meditation. I talked about how it is somewhat like Metta meditations in one very large way, but with it’s own flavor. Today I share an article written by Pema Chodron that talks about a real life version of Tonglen meditation.

You eat some chips and watch tv, you eat your lunch at your desk surfing the web or responding to emails. Many people eat and do something else at the same time.  This makes it easier to gain weight and overeat.  Today I talk about how to eat mindfully and how it can help you stay healthy and lean.
