Self-Love & Self-Compassion

“A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day.
A string of such moments can change the course of your life.”
– Chris Germer

In 2012, I spent six months in silence living as a monk, meditating 14+ hours a day. 

No reading, writing, or contact with the outside world.

We woke up at 3am each day.
Had two small meals before noon.
Slept and meditated under mosquito nets.
And the mattresses were so thin you could squeeze them between your fingers and feel the bone on the other side.

It was the hardest experience of my life.
And the most rewarding.

When people hear about this, they often want to know what happens when you spend 6 months meditating in silence.

They’re usually expecting some trippy, transcendent, ego-death type stories.

And yes, I have those.

But you wanna know the biggest thing I got from my time living as a monk?

I became my own best friend.

Yup. It’s as simple as that.

And it has made everything in my life easier.

I feel like I have a constant inner companion rooting me on, reassuring me, and reminding me of what’s possible.

It’s like an inner coziness.

I’m so grateful for it. 

Which is why I’ve committed my life to helping other people experience it, too.

That’s where this program comes in.

It is a path to becoming your own best friend.
