99 Keys to a Daily Meditation Practice

Each audio segment contains a short explanation of a particular technique, a discussion of its importance, and a guided meditation. The guided meditations tend to be between 5 and 15 minutes long, but new practitioners sitting without guidance should feel free to do just five minutes daily. Consistency is everything. These techniques and practices come, more or less, from the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism. Emphasis is on developing a sustainable, daily practice, rather than on creating one-time experiences that may dazzle but do not transform.

The Academy of American Poets is the largest membership-based nonprofit organization fostering an appreciation for contemporary poetry and supporting American poets. For over three generations, the Academy has connected millions of people to great poetry through programs such as National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in the world; Poets.org, the Academy’s popular website; American Poet, a biannual literary journal; and an annual series of poetry readings and special events. Since its founding, the Academy has awarded more money to poets than any other organization.
