Hello & Namaste- I’m Rucha!

When I was 10 years old, my father taught me how to meditate. What was pretty amazing was that, as a kid, I maintained a regular practice for a consistent period of time. But, I eventually let go of it.

For the next 25 years, I would start a meditation practice, but then stop again. I would search for that same peace of mind I felt in meditation, but in other activities, like photography, walking, reading…but I couldn’t find it in those things, so I started meditating again, remaining consistent for sometime, but eventually stopping. I would meditate regularly, but only when I got around to it and my schedule allowed for it. Eventually…

Something different started happening.

I noticed I felt ‘off’ on the days I didn’t meditate.

I started feeling agitated, stressed, not as balanced, or in control of my emotions when I didn’t meditate. On the days I did meditate, I felt the exact opposite. I was able to approach the day calmly, smoothly handle the ups & downs, and keep a positive attitude.

So, in December 2013 I made only one New Year’s Resolution: to meditate every day starting January 1st, 2014.

I am happy to say that I have not missed one day of meditation. This is when I began witnessing incredible and transformative changes within myself. I noticed a real shift in my attitude, behavior + thinking, when I dedicated myself to a daily meditation practice.

Here, I share my journey with you: the process, resources, guides, how-to’s, manuals, inspirational posts + personal stories, ALL with the intention to help you in creating your own meditation practice.
