Laura, Denver, Colorado
Laura shares her story of finding passage meditation and her path to establishing a regular daily practice.
I was on my own small search for meaning, and for the most part I was disappointed by the lack of answers. The general plan or arc of our lives (school, work, family) seemed devoid of the richness and magic I craved from life.

Sam, New South Wales, Australia
Sam describes how Easwaran’s book "Conquest of Mind" set him on a life-long spiritual journey with passage meditation.
My journey began when a long held idea was comprehensively challenged: the idea that professional success is a universal panacea. At the time this caused considerable turmoil and doubt – if this was not true what else was untrue? What forms the foundations of a meaningful life? What was I meant to be doing for the next 50 years? Questions that I had never stopped to consider were demanding to be answered.

LB shares his reflections on both the effort and the benefits of maintaining a regular passage meditation practice.
I began meditating when I was 23. I had had no prior experience of meditation, but I was eager to deepen my spiritual awareness. The previous eighteen months of my life had been some of the most spiritually and emotionally difficult I'd ever known.

Myron, Petaluma, California
Myron shares how he has come to understand the mantram and meditation as truly powerful aids to overcoming unwanted habits within the family context.
I had been practicing and meditating some time, but agitation at family gatherings was not going away and was quite frankly, a plague that I wanted to be rid of. Through meditation and practice of the eight point program my awareness of this problem had come into sharper focus.
