In my book, Meditation and Reinventing Yourself
It’s a playful and compassionate exploration of meditation, awareness, habits, thoughts, emotions, and the many “voices” that shape our experience of life.
Filled with full-color illustrations, reflections, and practical guidance, this book approaches meditation not as perfection or escape, but as a conscious relationship with ourselves and our lives.
The book is included as part of The Zen Workshop: Taming Your Inner Noise, and is also available separately for those wanting to explore the work more deeply.
A Shift to Love: Zen Stories and Lessons
When I re-entered the world after 14 years of Zen monastic training, people were naturally curious.
Why did I go?
What happened while I was there?
What did you learn?
Why did you leave?
So I shared stories.
Stories from my training.
Stories about suffering, awareness, resistance, compassion, fear, identity, and love.
My “ignoring the piece of trash” story.
My “rescuing worms” story.
My “relationships are like the roof of a house” story.
Each one pointed toward the same thing:
What becomes possible when attention shifts away from the stories in our heads
and back to the heart.
Back to presence.
Back to love.
