Why I practice meditation:

When we can genuinely feel we are not in or of this world but rather the whole world is within us, we slowly begin to integrate that mind-set into our thoughts and deeds. My daily meditation practice has awakened that understanding. I now effortlessly tap into the limitless supply of what the universe has to offer — a wellspring of effortless abundance, an unfolding of deeper fulfillment, and a sweeter, more loving world that I walk through with greater grace and ease.

Why I teach meditation:

I believe we will change the world through meditation. Connecting to the stillness and silence within allows each of us to live life with expanded awareness, deeper compassion, and greater fulfillment. Regular meditation has allowed me to see and feel the world with an ever-expanding openness, deeper empathy and greater clarity. I hope it will do the same for you.

Why I practice meditation:

I practice meditation because it reminds me of who I really am. I feel connected, calm, in perfect timing with my life and where I am in the journey. I practice and teach meditation because it has been such a gift in my own life. I’ve watched it transform my relationship with anxiety, overwhelm and physical pain. As I developed my own practice, it started opening up new awarenesses and life opportunities I may have never seen available to me.

Why I teach meditation:

I teach meditation to help others recognize their own inner wisdom and light. Each class is unique and different. Meditation is such a powerful tool and allows one to release, receive and find their inner voice in a new way every time they choose to sit and be silent. We show up together and something new and incredible takes place every time.
