Meditation in the comfort of your home. Shamatha means “peacefully
abiding” and is a meditation practice that brings clarity and presence.
“The mind is very wild. The human experience is full of unpredictability and
paradox, joys and sorrows, successes and failures. We can’t escape any of
these experiences in the vast terrain of our existence. It is part of what makes
life grand-and also why our minds take us on such a crazy ride. If we can train
ourselves through meditation to be more open and more accepting toward
the wild arc of our experience, if we can lean into the difficulties of life and the
ride of our minds, we can become more settled and relaxed amid whatever
life brings us.”
