Dear friends,

I have to admit it: my Sadhana has gotten a little sloppy recently. Not to say I haven’t been practicing, I have. But my mind has not been 100% present. I have been “drifting and drifting,” as the old Paul Butterfield blues song goes.

That changed big time this morning.

I usually wake up with the sun, around 6 am these days, and do my yoga, meditation, affirmations, and prayers at that time. 

But today, I spontaneously woke up at 4 am, the time traditionally recommended by yogis for meditation. Instead of trying to fall back asleep, I got up, did the usual brush-your-teeth routine, and went right into my practice.

And wow. It was deep. Clear. Connected. Exactly where it needed to be.

I am sharing this personal moment because I want to invite you to our upcoming Meditation Challenge Week, where we will practice the highly researched Kirtan Kriya meditation together.

It is a simple 12-minute practice that can take you to new levels of clarity, presence, and wellbeing. A meaningful opportunity to reconnect with yourself and support long-term brain health.

And it is completely free to participate. We could easily charge for a program of this quality, but offering it freely is our way of serving and supporting our community. This work is made possible thanks to the generosity of those who believe in our mission and choose to give.

If you have been touched by our programs or inspired by this community, I invite you to consider supporting ARPF so we can continue providing resources like this at no cost and advance prevention research. Every gift, of any size, truly makes a difference.

I hope you will join us for Meditation Challenge Week and experience the clarity and connection this practice brings. Thank you for being part of our community and for all you do to help build a future where prevention is possible.

Yours in Brain Health,


Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.
President / Medical Director
