Meditation is an ancient practice in which a person trains their mind and body to be aware, present and attentive, drowning out distractions to bring their focus within. Over time and with consistent practice, the practitioner achieves mental clarity, stability, emotional calmness and more. Meditation is known to reduce anxiety and improve stress levels, boost self-awareness and creativity, and provide relief from chronic pain and injuries.

To master a skill, you must first learn one. You take the new information and convert it to real knowledge by reinforcing through application, review, discussion, application and more application. This is the true posture of meditation. We must sit quietly with our body to train it to work with the mind. We must train ourselves. We must observe our thoughts and not attach to them, and grasp the skill of non-attachment in general. We must learn how to meditate.
Given the endless methods and teachers and techniques, persistent diligence towards self-mastery is needed to prevent one from getting distracted, disheartened or disillusioned by the sheer number of offerings to learn meditation. Like yoga, meditation is a self-practice; by design, the art of mastering the skill of self-practice demands of the practitioner a few simple (but very important) things to acquire the skill in front of them.

Three necessary criteria exist for those who wish to develop or deepen the skill of self-practice:

1. The desire to acquire/deepen the skill

2. A willingness to learn new things, to challenge self, and to grow and change
​
3. A method to achieve said skill

For those brave souls seeking some guidance, some direction, some insight, Krista will graciously share what she knows with you. She will direct you to beneficial tools, be a sounding board for your questions, and hold you accountable to develop the self-practice skills you came to her to learn, grow and nurture.

Krista has studied with yoga and meditation teachers across the world – from India, to Thailand, to Mexico, to Europe and the Americas, to the United States and beyond. Until 2019, she dedicated herself primarily to One Pointed Focus, Visualization, Loving Kindness and Reflection meditations, applying them with many different traditions. Since being introduced to the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza in 2019, she has delved into his science-based approach to meditation, a journey that has helped heal her body from damage sustained in surgeries – including some she was told are quite literally unfixable.
