Hi friends, As this community grows, we’re continuing to find better ways to support your meditation practice and help you stabilize awareness in daily life. To support this, we’re bringing on @Brian Diep. He’ll be reaching out to you personally to help with Quests (challenges), your daily meditation practice, and staying engaged with the community. Looking forward to deepening the practice together.

Happy to be here! I am a yoga teacher and meditation is a huge part of yoga. Pretty much anything else that is done in yoga is meant to prepare for meditation. I started meditating many years before, I can't even tell, when exactly. As someone with a very scattered mind sometimes (ADHD), it was a difficult path. For the most time I was doing guided meditations only, now I have found a way to meditate deeply on my own, and that really brings me to the next level. Also, I relaxed a lot about the quality of my meditations, as there is no such thing as a bad meditation. Even when I doze off, or realize that I was trying to solve a problem for 10 minutes, instead of calming my mind, I am OK with it. Just taking the time to go inwards, no matter what happens there, is valuable and an act of self-love. It also always calms me down, so the effect is there, even when I think, I had just a session with my monkey mind bouncing around in my head. At the beginning of this year, I had the urge to deepen my knowledge and practice of yoga philosophy and meditation. So, I am grateful to have the opportunity to be in this community and be able to learn and practice with others.
