Hey everyone — our Meditation Day: Breathwork + Foundations retreat is THIS Sunday, April 26th from 10 AM to 4 PM at Gracie Barra North Austin. Here's how it works: The first 2 hours are a free meetup — show up, learn to meditate, meet people. If it clicks, stay for the rest of the day for breathwork, deeper instruction, and extended practice. No need to decide in advance. Spots are limited and we're almost full. RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/meditation/events/313936024/ Would love to see you there!

Beautiful and calming Advaita Vedanta meditation is listened to this afternoon. Wanted to share it with the dear community ❤️ Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ggVGfnCKbnMpZHVrEuO9Z?si=lKzYJZ_EQNmQTPmYF_Mjig&t=2307

hi yall it’s been awhile since I checked in! Last week when meditating, I noticed a pronounced ringing in my ears. I’m pretty sure it’s tinnitus and am not sure how long I’ve had it. That being said, once named, it’s been quite distracting when meditating. I watch the mind judge as the new label has turned something previously inconsequential into a noticeable distraction. It’s funny how this can happen with our attention. I’ve read posts about people using tinnitus as an anchor or gateway, which is the goal. However, at this point, I’m still in the acceptance phase and also kinda laughing at the absurdity of how long it took me to notice. If any of yall have experience with this, would love to hear! Other than that, continuing to sit for 15 mins in the morning and without a timer before bed. I’ve been playing with using the tinnitus as a reminder to be where I’m at, as I notice when the mind is quiet.

If you’re new here, please take a moment to introduce yourself in the comments! Currently we meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12PM CST for freely offered meditation sessions. You can find them within our calendar. Have fun! Warmly, Brandon
