But most importantly, stay safe. Protect your loved ones. Do what’s needed to keep them safe even if it means finding safety elsewhere. People have survived this kinds of political authoritarianism before. People have survived fascist regimes before. You can too.
For the last year and a half. I started with Transcendental meditation. Then Vipasana in January and right not I’m learning Zen from “The Way” meditation app by Zen master and poet Henry Shukman. It’s actually very good and instructional. He’s created a series of paths that teach you step by step not only how to meditate but also how to expand awareness.
The first 12 are free and then there’s a monthly subscription. If you don’t have the money you can tell them and they will offer a much lower yearly discount or give it to you for free.
I highly recommend it.
