“With the instructor’s guidance I discovered a new dimension to meditation and calm comes instantly in the middle of everything and at anytime. I find that I do not need to “sit quiet” and “do meditation” to find calmness. Thank you Richard for your precise, to the point instructions.” Student, 2021
