[No One]

A local, living, breathing Teacher.  A Qigong Master can also teach meditation properly in many cases.  Emphasis on offline, preferably.

[No One]

But alas, many cannot find this, and so I offer this lecture series, just my 2 cents  :

 

[English] Meditation and Consciousness - Ven. Guan Cheng (10 Lectures)

[No One]
