Enjoy Yourself
Keep it simple. You don't need to know very much in order to begin meditating. Just come on in.

Keep it personal. Do it your way. You can't imitate someone else's meditation. You know what you love.

Be brief. A few minutes of meditation is powerful. Do that then call it a day.

Dive in. Ask for help when you need it. Stay in touch. Use this form to receive a more or less monthly meditation newsletter, with tips, news about The Radiance Sutras, workshop announcements.
