Meditation Challenge 2025
A 'meditation challenge' is a great way to enhance your meditation practice or give it a kick start by joining others in our sangha who also want to make a deeper commitment to our meditation practice. Practicing with others with a shared commitment, even at a distance, is a powerful way to develop enthusiasm and consistency in your meditation practice.
Here’s the Challenge
For January, we will aim to practice for 20 minutes daily for five days or more each week. If you consistently practice for 20 minutes or longer daily, add at least 10 minutes to your meditation sessions. We will send twice weekly emails with quotes or clips to inspire your practice.
Last year, there were several suggestions for having “meditation buddies” - someone to help keep you accountable in a straightforward way, like texting towards the end of the day, “Yes, I kept my commitment,” or “No, I missed it.” You could also choose to be more involved, whatever you wish. If you need help finding a buddy, email Susan: membership@steamboatbuddhistcenter.org.
If you are interested in participating in a more formal meditation instruction class during this time. Check out the Anytime Anywhere Meditation course.

“By nature, the essence of our mind is total peace.
Therefore, we can find true peace of mind through meditation. ”
