WHY MEDITATION IS THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN EVER GIVE YOURSELF
Most people have no idea how much developing your own personal satisfying and effective authentic meditation practice can make a huge, lasting and ever growing difference in every area of your life…
It is amazing how much establishing your own personal daily meditation practice will bring so many benefits, positive changes and transformation into your life even with just 5 minutes practice per day!
One of the greatest shifts that has come from doing my own daily meditation practice that I am most grateful for are the positive changes in my attitudes and points of view. I no longer relate to life from a fearful, painful and harried space but from a serene, peaceful and loving place that gets better and more profound by the day.
Meditation has given me the ability to watch and make friends with my own mind.
It is a fact that you cannot change or control anything that you are not conscious or aware of.
Meditation is a vital tool for being with your own self, for coming inside your own inner world.
Meditation is like turning on all the lights inside yourself, lights that reveal the workings of our minds, how thoughts and emotions affect us and so much more.

If you ever want to achieve lasting happiness, it is absolutely necessary to develop the ability to control and direct your own mind in positive ways.
The classic image for the beginning meditation practitioner is that you are setting out to find and tame your own “wild horse mind.”
Until now, your mind has been doing its thing without your being aware of or having any control over it…which actually is the root cause of much of your and everyone else’s suffering.
But once you set out on the journey of daily meditation practice, as long as you practice with intention and perseverance, you will gradually tame your wild horse mind until the day comes when you can ride it anywhere you want.
This will open up unlimited vistas and opportunities you had no idea even existed before.

Meditation will gradually completely transform your life on every level for the better…and I can tell you from personal experience that once the wild horse is tamed, your awareness, love and consciousness will grow so profoundly that you will then have a life of meaning, purpose and power beyond your wildest dreams.
You will no longer be at the mercy of worry and fear, anger, jealousy, hatred or any of the other negative emotional poisons that most people struggle with and suffer from.
Meditation will make it possible for you to become a powerful force of love and light wherever I go.
Things that once upset you and caused you so much stress and strain become minor issues that you can easily and effectively deal with.
You will be able to see solutions to situations where you could only see overwhelming problems before.
Meditation will gradually bring out your true self, the higher Self which is ever attuned to and flowing with the divine.
And so much more.

There are now tens of thousands of scientific studies which document the amazing results and benefits of daily meditation practice. If you doubt my word, just google it and you’ll get 64,000 pages of results!
The greatest thing you can ever do for yourself and those you care about, is to learn an authentic meditation practice from one who has extensive experience, who received their training, principles and meditation practice from a lineage of meditation masters and who will be there for every step of the way as you develop your own personal daily practice.
As long as your teacher has the training and has done the practices long enough to have gone through the stages of transformation and deeper understanding themselves, then you can expect to have all the shifts and benefits I have been describing.
Once you do establish your own practice, you will love it…it will become very important to you and you will think of your life in terms of before and after…and will be grateful for all the positive changes happening to you in your self and your life from doing even 5 minutes of basic meditation daily.
Once you taste the effects for yourself, resulting from your own efforts in a reliable on going stream of real lasting transformation, you, like me and the many thousands of students I have seen launch their practice, will love your practice and enthusiastically continue, whenever you can…and it will continue getting better and more profound as you do!

Meditation is essential to attaining peace of mind and developing a deep ongoing love relationship with yourself—and to receive the many many scientifically proven benefits that we all need as much as we need air to breathe and food to sustain us.
I will resume teaching the most powerful, effective and blissful Authentic Meditation practices that I learned directly from my own teachers Kalu Rinpoche, the 16th Karmapa, Amma and other highly realized meditation masters when we launch our next “Meditation Training Intensive”course in March, 2024. We plan to offer registration for either in person or digital attendance…. so that anyone anywhere can learn these life transforming practices.
I have more than fifty years of in depth training, experience and my own personal practice which has given me a unique ability to teach everything you need to launch and develop your own practice in a way that will inspire and motivate you.
