The Wim Hof Method

Wim Hof There are many variations on the general concept of “Pranayama Meditation” — The meditation of the breath.

To complete the trifecta, the android version of the Vipassana App has been released to production on the Google Play Store! It was quite a journey to practice this meditation twice daily for a year after an intense 10-day retreat to learn it.

Many would say yes, but I’ve always found a place in my heart for inspirational wisdom teachings, dharma talks, and books written by others who may be further along the path than me. Even in the Eight Limbs of Yoga, two of them, the Yamas and Niyamas, cover the esoteric teachings of ethics and religion. It’s no wonder that […]

I reckon that this is much better than not meditating at all. That said, I do find it important to occasionally try stricter postures, and of course […]
