Christopher Luard is a senior meditation teacher based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is the creator of the Such Sweet Thunder meditation program, and has a website and a book by the same name.

In 2001, after witnessing the tragic events of September 11th unfold in New York City, Chris dedicated his life to the wisdom teachings, so that he may be able to pass them on to others, with the intention of bringing about a more peaceful, loving, and compassionate worldview. He has taught extensively around the world since 2009, completing residencies in centers in Malaysia, the U.K., Thailand, and the USA.

In this episode, Chris leads us in a meditation practice called “Taking in the good,” that helps us to compensates for our inherently human negativity bias (25:20 time stamp for this meditation). This is a practice you can return to over and over again.

“The brain doesn’t know the difference between a memory and present moment experience.”
