Anytime Anywhere Meditation
Meditation does not have to stay only on the cushion. Practice can become part of ordinary life, gently helping us reconnect with awareness, compassion, and wisdom wherever we are.
Meditation in Everyday Life
Meditation can be practiced anytime and anywhere. It invites us to notice simple moments such as breathing, listening, walking, pausing, resting, or meeting the challenges of daily life as part of practice.
Sometimes, practice happens in a quiet room. Sometimes, it can also happen while washing dishes, walking to the car, waiting in line, or taking one small breath before responding to what is happening.
Meditation can become less about fitting an idea of what meditation is supposed to look like, and more about learning how to stay with life as it unfolds.
Simple. Practical.
Woven into Life.
AAM approaches meditation as a path of discovery rather than another way to fix or improve ourselves.
No previous meditation experience or particular religious background is required.
What is Anytime Anywhere Meditation?
Anytime Anywhere Meditation (AAM) is a practical meditation program created by Mingyur Rinpoche to make meditation more accessible and relevant to everyday life. Rooted in the ancient Buddhist teachings of Tibet, the practices themselves are non-religious and open to people of all backgrounds.
At the heart of AAM is the understanding that awareness, love and compassion, and wisdom are qualities already present within us. Through simple and practical meditation exercises, the course explores how these qualities can be recognized and brought into the ordinary moments of daily life.
At Three Jewels Hale, Yawen shares the official AAM course as a Tergar Certified Anytime Anywhere Meditation Teacher and Licensed Anytime Anywhere Meditation Teacher, following Tergar’s AAM curriculum and teaching framework.

Awareness · Love & Compassion · Wisdom
AAM invites us to notice the qualities already present within us and learn how to reconnect with them as we move through everyday life.
Learning to recognize the awareness already present and gently return to what is happening now.
Recognizing our natural wish for happiness and freedom from difficulty, and learning to meet ourselves and others with greater warmth and care.
Bringing curiosity to the way we see and interpret our experience, and noticing the assumptions and familiar patterns that may shape our view.

Meet Yawen
Life has carried Yawen through many different worlds, from university IT to a complex pro se legal journey that reached the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Her life has also included years of caregiving, infertility and pregnancy loss, motherhood, and many other turns of life. With time and experience, meditation became less about fitting an idea of what meditation is supposed to look like, and more about learning how to stay present with life as it unfolds.
Today, Yawen shares meditation in a simple and grounded way, shaped by lived experience and the understanding that practice can be woven into everyday life.
