She has appeared in Time Magazine, Yoga Journal, msnbc.com, Tricycle, Real Simple, Body & Soul, Mirabella, Good Housekeeping, Self, Buddhadharma, More and Shambhala Sun, as well as on a variety of radio programs.

 

I hope you can join us! In the meantime, enjoy the blog post below about Sharon's 28-Day Meditation Program.

 

 

During the month of February, we are inviting a diverse group of people to participate in the meditation program that Sharon Salzberg has laid out in her latest book, Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Program

 

In the group participating we have people from all over North America (and beyond). We are asking them to reflect on their experiences—pleasant, difficult, and in between—and let us know how it's going. They are blogging about their experiences on Sharon's website: http://www.sharonsalzberg.com/realhappiness/blog and on their own blogs or websites if they have them. Comments are welcome from anyone, whether they are amongst the group blogging or not.

 

We had the opportunity to do this last February and a beautiful sense of community and support grew as we all practiced together and shared our experiences. We hope that the challenge can again foster real dialogue about the potential of meditation to change one's life, and will intrigue more people to find out what meditation is all about. Everyone is invited to join us in making a commitment to 28 days of meditation practice. http://www.sharonsalzberg.com/realhappiness/pledge
