I’m Carrie Heeter, a meditation teacher, writer, and scientist. I’ll be adding meditations, research and other content to this web site.

A good place to start is my book. An Inside Look at Meditation weaves together meditation stories, explanations, commentary, examples, illustrations, and big ideas from yoga and science.

You’ll encounter many of my own personal stories. You’ll read about experiences of the seven long-time meditators who I interviewed.

•If you are new to yoga meditation, you’ll gain a tangible sense of what meditation can be. Perhaps you will be tempted to try it.

•If you already do yoga meditation, my simple explanations will feel familiar and you may gain new insights.

•If you teach yoga or meditation, this book may inspire new ideas and meditation objects to use in your teaching.
