This is a wonderful introduction to the Keys 🙏🏼🌹

Clear, helpful guidance for this valuable practice. Thank you. 🙏🏻☯️🌸

Excellent and clear instruction on how to use nothing but sitting with the timer for your future meditations. I've been looking for something to inspire a more simple and "pure" meditation practice grounded in ancient traditions. The talking on different meditation tracks is feeling like a distraction when my goal is to calm the mind. Thank you for this good simple instruction!

It has been very informative for me as someone who is beginning to meditate

Thank you, Sensei 🙏 I have long been pulled, and yet intimidated, by Zen. I am grateful for your gentle, kind, helpful instruction. Thank you! 🙏
