Hi I’m Jeffrey

I’ve been a professional meditation teacher since I was thirty years old. That is far too young to be a meditation teacher, but my teachers needed me to get going, so I stepped in before anyone reasonably should. In all that time I learned a lot about how to start, how to keep going, and how to deepen.

I run a meditation training community, Finding Ground Meditation. My writing about meditation used to live on a blog I ran for years, but I changed websites and lost all the posts, so had to start fresh. I don’t mind that at all. I have too much writing to publish anyway, so this lets me put forward what is more important.

The posts here will be a little less formal, a little less about the technical aspects of meditation, and more about the life of meditation, the perspective from a person who has prioritized meditation.

I live in the same world as everyone else, I read the news, I face the facts. Meditators see things a bit differently, and historically, this little bit of difference has been inspiring and important to others.

If you’re reading this paragraph, then you are coming in the very early days of my posting. As I put more and more writing up, perhaps some audio and video, this page will change too, and I’ll introduce myself differently.

But because you are here in the earliest of days, thank you for coming early!
