Seven Years Of Practice
Today marks 7 years of formal daily meditation practice for me. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined myself where I am today. I'm beyond grateful for each and every moment 🙏🏻.
Along the way, there have been over 100 days of retreat, a 2-year meditation teacher training, a yearlong somatic coaching training, a yoga teacher training, countless journeys 🌿, finding Ikigai thru mindful leadership coaching, living in the woods for 2 years, letting go of alcohol and caffeine, transitioning to a whole food plant based diet, sleeping more, and 4 hours every morning dedicated to peace...I estimate some 2,000 hours of practice since 2016 that have revived in me what my grandfather helped me begin cultivating at an early age, thru gazing at the water.
My practice is now, in addition to plenty of things on the inside, bringing this constantly changing new me and what I have learned into community and the world.
Deep gratitude to all of the practitioners who have kept Buddhist meditation alive and shared it for millinea 🙇🏼. And to all of you who have supported me along the way 💙.
