A few years back, Tracy retired and thought to himself, “What would happen if I practiced at home with the same intensity as I would on retreat?”
He was inspired to practice the “Elephant Path,” a very disciplined approach that cultivated deepening concentration.
His journey was powerful, traumatic and brought him to his knees, but opened up vistas he could only imagine.
Here he shares his story, what he learned and what we might offer by way of encouragement and caution for those looking to intensive practice.
