Mindfulness in Blue Jeans

After denying his own trauma for eight years, Ron Levine finally fell apart in a crippling heap of anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and agoraphobia in early 1998. On disability and unable to leave his house, he began practicing vipassana (mindfulness-based insight meditation), which sparked a life-changing new direction cultivated on and off the cushion.

With backgrounds in social psychology, information technology, and yoga, Ron emphasizes a methodical and scientific results-based approach to facing our demons and finding inner peace. From Ron: "We each must walk our own path, but often face similar obstacles and traps. What makes each of us tremble varies, but we all know fear. The criteria we each use to determine our worthiness might differ, but we all know self-judgment. Our methods and skill sets can be worlds apart, but we all share the common baseline of wanting happiness."
