Dear friends,
This week we'll add two practical tools to the samatha practice we've been doing. We'll also look at two of the most common difficulties in meditation - restlessness and sleepiness - a pair whose root often lies in an imbalance of energy.
The gifts of this practice are immense, and they are available to each of us. We’re building a toolkit for the journey, and I’m truly happy to be doing it together.
As always, feel free to invite a friend to join, or drop in, or gift someone a membership.
If you have questions, see our member FAQ or email us.
Warmly,
Oren
