The Boston Buddha

I used to meditate every morning with my son and then years later with my daughter for 10 minutes before school.

Not because life is peaceful… but because it isn’t.

Great couple of days in DC with after seeing the monks on their Walk for Peace.

There is something powerful about walking slowly, quietly through the heart of the capital with no chants no signs and no big speeches. Just presence. Step after step. Breath after breath. Such a cool feeling.

At the Lincoln Memorial, we all paused in complete stillness. Five seconds that felt incredible.

Second one was for lovingkindness.
Second two was for compassion.
Second three was for love.
Second four was for harmony.
Second five was for hope.

In a city that can feel loud and divided, that quiet moment together said everything. Being still is possible.

We also used it as a good excuse to spend a couple of days with my sisters and niece nephew AND Uncle Danny who was VERY excited to see us and did not want us to go.🤣🤣🤣

Ordinary moments matter. Walking. Pausing. Breathing. Being with family. All of it counts. Now more than ever we need to keep showing up for each other. Every day.

When we live under constant stress and uncertainty, our nervous system shifts into survival mode. We stay tense, alert, and exhausted — always waiting for the next thing to go wrong.

Even when life looks calm, the mind doesn’t relax, because the body has forgotten what safety feels like. It’s too busy future catastrophizeing overreacting to something that probably won’t happen.

This is exactly why I started meditating 20 years ago, and why I’ve kept teaching for 15 years — to help people retrain their nervous system to rest, reset, and feel safe again.

Meditation helped me remember what safety feels like — and that changed everything. 🙏❤️☘️

To celebrate 15 years of teaching, I’m rolling back my rates to 2010:

2 private Zoom sessions (60 min each) for → $300 (usually $595)

If you’ve been living on high alert, this is a chance to reset and find your calm again.

This is for a limited time. DM me if you want a spot!
