Your Meditation Guide
Meditation at Sit Stay Healing is approached as a practice of returning—again and again—to what is already present. Rather than seeking special states or self-improvement, the emphasis is on simple awareness, steady attention, and meeting each moment with care.
My teaching is shaped by long-term study within a traditional Japanese Reiki lineage, where meditation is understood as a form of cultivation. From this perspective, practice is not something added from the outside, but a process of clarifying what is already here by gently setting down habits of grasping, avoidance, and effort. Formal Meditation Teacher Training (MTT-200) has expanded my meditation toolbox as well.
Attention is given to harmony—within the body, within the environment, and within relationship. Meditation is not separate from daily life, but inseparable from how one walks, listens, works, and rests. Sessions emphasize grounded presence, attunement to breath and posture, and respect for natural rhythm rather than force or control.
Practices are simple and adaptable. They may include seated meditation, quiet observation, breath awareness, or forms of stillness that support nervous system regulation and embodied presence. Silence is treated not as emptiness, but as a field of listening—one that allows insight to arise without being pursued.
This approach is especially supportive during times of transition, grief, caregiving, or fatigue, when doing less and listening more becomes essential. There is no expectation to clear the mind or achieve a particular outcome. Whatever arises is met as part of the practice.
At Sit Stay Healing, meditation is offered as a way of remembering how to be with life as it is—steady, responsive, and attentive. Over time, this kind of practice naturally extends beyond the cushion, shaping how one relates to self, others, animals, and the living world.

Meditation as Political Resistance
Stillness is not withdrawal. It is refusal. There is a story we are told about meditation. It goes something like this:Meditation is personal. Private. Apolitical.A soft practice for self-improvement.A way to calm down so we can re-enter the world and continue as before. But that has never been the lineage of contemplative practice. Meditation, at…
