SHORT BIO

Some of those are at least a little bizarre, aren’t they? I listed most of my major experiences, and gave links to where to find the rest of the big ones here on Jhana8.com.

I think some people will find it interesting! I hope it inspires people to start meditating.

The benefits of a meditation program are not all that well known. They are not all that easy to describe or to observe. There are hundreds of changes that go on over the course of years of meditation, but they are subtle usually.

I talk about some of the major benefits of a solid daily practice in the book and I think it will be really motivational!

Inside the book, to break it up a bit, I’ve added some watercolor art from a Thai artist I enjoy. It gives your eyes a break because any list of 100+ items can be a bit of a grind to get through!

Download the sample at Amazon and see if it’s something you might enjoy.

Thank you for your support!

With metta,

Vern
