Author, Musician,Coach

I began studying meditation in 1996. After carefully exploring zazen, vipassana, self-inquiry, the Prayer of the Heart--even living as a monk myself--I chose Kriya Yoga (Pranayama) for its track record, over two decades ago. Practitioners report feelings of peace, protection and empowerment right from the beginning-- I was deeply impressed by the number of master meditators employing this simple technique, celebrated Sages as diverse as Kabir, Christ, Yogananda, James J. Lynn, Daya Mata.  Having spent many thousands of hours in meditation, and having received Life Coaching and Spiritual Direction certification, I am eager, today, to share what I can, with the blessings of my Teachers (see blog below for letters of recommendation and central chapters from my books). Meditation has also proved to help get the creative juices flowing--please enjoy the songs and recordings below. Here's everything you need to begin or deepen your quest toward lasting freedom and wholeness. I bid you a hearty
WELCOME!
