By gently directing your mind as often as needed.

Meditations on Meditation [Video]
Reflections on meditation.
Cultivating compassion. Practicing Mindfulness. Living sober.
These are all things I aspire to bring into my daily life.

My ADHD Meditations
Shut off the Television [w/ Audio]
Mindless Caverns – [w/ Audio]
Echoes of footfall and the heavy hiss of breathing berated the dark silence of Mindless Caverns. The damp ancient shafts here knew no sunlight or warmth, only the ageless hollow of time’s decay.

Forests of Life – [w/ Audio]
I long to plant seeds with my words
that blossom into forests of life.
I wish to stir emotion and fervor in my readers.
A reclusive life spent in front of the TV is hardly
the market for soul-touching inventory
when shopping for bonds on a mindful level.

That’s Okay. [w/ Video]
“That’s Okay” was my beginners meditation mantra. It got me through a lot of suffering.
I was playing around with AI generated art for videos.
I took on the mantra, “That's okay,”
early in my meditation practice.
Couldn't focus well today? That's okay.
Fell asleep during breathing time? That's okay.
Regret not going to bed earlier last night? That's okay.
Worried you're going to miss that job interview? That's okay.
Because in the end, you can't change the past or future,
You can only accept what is happening now in the present.

A letter to Peace and Silence. [w/ Audio]
"A letter to my friend Peace and Silence" written and read by Drew Willis
I find myself quite embarrassed at the moment. I've taken to calling you “Silence” for so long, I've forgotten exactly what your name is. I know it's something like Peace, but not as the external state of being tranquil or quiet, but as in the internal clarity and stillness found in the middle of external chaos. I suppose equanimity, wisdom, and compassion all apply, but I've found myself more and more just calling you, Silence. I hope that's okay.
