“I was an activist and doing all this stuff that activists do, stressing myself out and I got a chance to be in a retreat with Lama Tsomo and I was able to find a real practice that really works for real people with real problems.”
In my 20 years of teaching, I’ve learned that the most challenging part of meditation is making it a daily habit. I wanted to create this book to help those who are interested in meditation, learn how to gain the most benefit and create a healthy, sustainable daily habit. We’ve also incorporated scientific tid-bits that reflect my interest in brain science and how it relates to meditation and habit.
Community or sangha in Tibetan Buddhist practice is a vital support for creating and sustaining healthy habits over time. The Namchak Foundation offers community programming throughout the year but as you get started mediating we recommend you check out:
