What students are saying about Joseph’s courses:
Your delivery was warm and natural and your sincerity and love of meditation shines through. I can see how much work has gone into this course and I'm sure it will reach and help many, many, many people. It's so nice to 'meet' someone with very similar views on meditation and an approach to teaching that chimes with my own. I wish you every success! Linda Hall
Joseph Drumheller's practical, earthy approach to meditation, along with his soothing voice and approachability provide a comfortable place to begin a new practice or gain deeper insights to those more established. Speaking as a lifelong meditator myself, I recommend his work. Judy Blackwell
I will say that the main thing I look for in someone in such a course is that they exude calm, and joy....and you do......and that they look trustworthy, good energy when you look at their eyes.... when they speak....and you do....Marika Marks

Grab the Tiger by the Tail
When your anger comes up again, get yourself some place where you can be alone. Then, step into the emotion fully and let it devour you, Grab the Tiger by the Tail. Which means, stepping into the emotion and letting it take you body, mind, and soul.
Be sure to do it with the intention of healing the anger completely. It takes a lot of guts because you will have to stand up to your greatest fears. You won’t know what’s going on or how it will turn out. Plus, the process can last up to a few days. It takes faith and trust in the releasing process. But when it’s over, your anger will be gone. Make sure to experience the emotion until it’s gone. Don’t get stick in it.
