Many of us dabble with meditation, but without building a powerful container for our practice, it can feel like we’re not making much progress—taking one step forward and two steps back in a tiring cycle of fits and starts.

What if you could create a container for your meditation that was deeply anchored in the higher potential it’s leading toward, infusing each moment of meditation with the living energy of awakening itself?

In this series, I’ll explore what it means to anchor your practice in a set of foundational pillars. Once in place, these first principles of meditation make the difference between easy or hard and whether you get stuck on the surface or dive into the warm depths of your own meditative heart.

In Part One of the series, I focus on two foundations that can empower and fuel your practice: motivation and intention. When our motivation to practice is paired with a strong intention, it can light a fire within us, providing fuel and passion for our growth and development.

I also explore how to get out from under the critical voice in our head—the one that often dominates and dampens our meditation. This helps us cultivate the playful, experimental, and curious spirit we need to nurture in our practice.

Foundations of Meditation – Part One: Motivation, Intention, and Nonjudgment, is the first in a 3-part series where I’ll explore some of the most important foundations for our meditation practice.
