Very cool, Stephanie! I find meditation very sweet and helpful. When I do it. I like the things at Insight Meditation center and on the app Dharma Seed. Carol Wilson and Steve Armstrong are faves, along with Joseph Goldstein. I’ll check out your links!

Really appreciate the transparency here Stephanie, thank you. I also enjoyed listening to the interview with Andrew. I've always been grateful to people who acknowledge that it's not about getting rid of all thoughts or emptying the mind, especially when just starting out with meditation. It helped me when people guided me to take an observer role to my thoughts, watching them go by like clouds in the sky without latching onto them, or thinking of them like a train I don't have to get on. Gradually, I was able to become more and more detached from thoughts and come back to a deep center more easily and quickly. Still a work in progress! <3
