My Philosophy
From a physicist's perspective, everything is one. Through your mind, you create your world. Meditation trains the mind so one can wisely attend to all thoughts and feelings in a way that brings about loving and compassionate actions - free of burden and self blame.

​

Love quiets the mind and elevates the spirit to a purpose higher than your personal narrative. To heal shame or feelings of responsibility when tragedy happens, you must first quiet the narrative voices in your head. Remember your basic goodness and be a living example of the goodness of your dearly departed loved one.

​

Meditation in the face of grief is a medication the world should have access to. When a close loved one dies, you may feel unable to avoid the cascading thoughts, feelings, and actions. Some people would rather do anything other than be alone with their thoughts, and this is amplified with grief. To become aware of your own thoughts and feelings is a powerful shift in any phase of life.


"Healing" happens through coming to terms with the way things are, and befriending something like pain can be as easy as being aware of it. Through meditation on each moment, through noticing the breath, mindful meditation can alleviate suffering.
