Meditation offers a refuge from the noise and busyness of the world, and a way to transform how we relate to our mind, heart, and life itself. We may be drawn to meditation for many reasons: relief from stress, better focus or concentration, curiosity and exploration, insight and self-understanding. With clear instructions and proper guidance, the benefits of meditation are available to everyone. We begin with developing foundational skills of attention (like working with an anchor), and then the path itself is wide and varied. We can be creative with how we cultivate our hearts.
