A Meditation Math Problem. Click here to listen instead. Out beyond positivity and negativity, there is fidelity. I'll meet you there. You may recognize the play on words of Rumi's poem. Defying all expectations, I decided to do an article and live session on a math problem. Let's sharpen our pencils and crunch the numbers…
Here's another article sprouting from my preparation for an InsightTimer Live talk. I'm enjoying exploring these ideas a little more deeply before presenting them. Please pardon the places where a well-written article is replaced by rambling. I give myself a short timeframe, then it must be released, for better or for worse. That said, let…

One of my Insight Timer listeners asked if I could give a sort of quick glance at some of my meditation strategies. She seemed to find my response helpful, so I decided to share it here: If I am having trouble focusing on my breath in one way, I try to stay with it for…
