So hopefully, people listening to this, whether they are dealing with kind of very real human problems that might be ameliorated somewhat by meditation, or whether their primary concern is just awakening, or realization, or enlightenment, I think we’ll find this interview relevant. And it does have deep philosophical and spiritual implications and value as a tool for awakening. So I think it’s great that he’s doing that. It’s sort of along the lines of, you know, my old profession as a TM teacher, where we really felt that there were practical benefits to meditation, it wasn’t just a philosophical or spiritual thing with no relevance to the so called real world.

What I hope to accomplish with Richard today is, what’s unique about him, what he’s doing in taking a practice from an ancient tradition, and adapting it in such a way that it can be applied in a modern context, and is doing that very successfully, with PTSD sufferers, people being taken out of sexual slavery in India, and number of other contexts like that. Richard teaches internationally and serves as a consultant researching the nondual meditation protocol he’s developed, Integrative Restoration – iRest Meditation, a secular adaptation of the ancient practice of yogic meditation, yoga nidra, studying its efficacy with healing, wellbeing and awakening. Richard now shares this realization and its integration into daily life through meditative self inquiry, the presence of being, and what lies beyond all sense of self and separation.

In 1983, Richard met his spiritual mentor John Kline, who introduced him to the direct realization of the nondual teachings as exemplified in the paths of Advaita Kashmir yoga, Taoism and Dzogchen. So if you’re one of such people, there’s a Donate button that gets calm on the right hand side. But it is made possible by the support of those who feel like supporting it.
