Blair developed Higher Consciousness Meditation after many years of meditation and yoga, and a traumatic year at a new job with a difficult boss who was abusing employees. This forced him to dive deep into his meditation practice to stay sane. As a result, he emerged with new, vibrant ways of coping with life’s challenges. In short, he’s an observer, yogi, and a toolmaker. An ordinary mystic. His books reflect as much. He describes himself this way, “I am an explorer who has discovered a variety of techniques, tools and ideas that I think you will find useful in your own personal development.  Here’s an example of what I mean. From one perspective, each of us has a unique story in which we are born, live and die as three- dimensional characters here on Planet Earth.  Simultaneously, we are also Five Dimensional Beings having an Eternity experience in a human body on a planet that is a challenge to master, and which gives us an opportunity to grow and develop into Universal Citizens.” Blair was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, though he has spent much of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though he received a Master’s Degree in 1978, he never intended to be an author. Instead, he spent most of his work life as an entrepreneur and business consultant, though he began his yoga and meditation practices over 45 years ago and self-exploration has been his avocation. Blair has published 5 books on meditation, mindfulness, and other related topics. His website is at: HiCMeditation.com and includes sample chapters, a blog, poems and an ecommerce site called “Healthy Home”, a free book and a free chakra meditation bracelet.
