The simple path to deeper meditation.

*** Experience real transformation and deep wellbeing. Progress along a proven pathway of meditation that helps you to awaken to the true nature of your mind, your self, and your relationship to the world. Explore Zen koans, non-dual awareness and other awakening techniques.
*** Benefit from an authorized Zen Master as your guide. Study with a beloved teacher with over 35 years of meditation practice. Learn Henry Shukman’s innovative fusion of modern mindfulness, Jhana practice and Sanbo Zen teaching.
HENRY SHUKMAN teaches mindfulness and awakening practices to a wide range of students from all traditions and walks of life. Henry is an authorized Zen Master in the Sanbo Zen lineage, and is the Spiritual Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His struggles and traumatic experiences as a youth, combined with a spontaneous awakening experience at 19, paved the way for Henry to develop a well-rounded approach to meditation.
On the journey of THE WAY, you can learn to:
*** Calm the nervous system, reduce stress on a daily basis and release trauma over time
*** Uncover previously unknown support and gratitude in our lives
*** Access beautiful states of flow and absorption during meditation
*** Get tastes and glimpses of awakening - insights into your own true nature, and discovering what non-duality really means, and the deep freedom and joy it can give.
THE WAY works through a series of daily guided meditations and talks along a single path of practice. Through these guided meditations you will explore with Zen Master Henry Shukman: teaching from ancient Buddhist traditions, finding peace and unconditional wellbeing in the heart of our lives, learning how to sit with and process negative emotions, healing from past traumas, uncovering deep joy in the bare fact of being alive, discovering a deep and connected presence, understanding insights into non-duality and awakening to the true nature of reality. All grounded in modern mindfulness and ancient Zen wisdom.

The One and Only Meditation App You Need!
I tried a lot of varying forms of meditation from in person TM, to Headspace, to the multitude of teachers and options on Waking Up. While I have had significant moments in each and every one of them still the most significant was an awakening I experienced after practicing Henry’s Koan series on Waking Up. When I saw he had his own app I was hesitant at first because I was not enthusiastic about “another” meditation being offered on the market but I gave it a go and it has been the greatest experience with mindfulness and meditation for me to date. I highly recommend anyone from beginner to a frequent meditator to try this app and in the order it is presented, it is truly impactful. While I have fundamental disagreements over approaches presented by other teachers particularly Sam Harris’ teachings and the way his app is presented, I have nothing but deep respect and love for Henry and what he has given here.
Deeply nourishing and brilliantly presented
Like others here, I first encountered Henry Shukman on the Waking Up app, which I’ve used for several years (and love).. the two apps complement each other beautifully. Waking Up is the spiritual library of your dreams; while The Way is much more of a personal, focused journey. I’ve practiced meditation with a number of teachers throughout my life over decades, but somehow Henry is getting through to me in a profound way. There is so much loving kindness in his voice and instructions. I often find myself on the edge of tears and /or able to relax and let go more fully. And I’m grasping ideas with both mind and heart. There are subtleties that he’s able to convey with so few words. Honestly I feel so much gratitude for this app. PS I went out and got the Audible edition of his book, which is also outstanding.
Perfect for beginners and beyond. Fantastic.
I’ve been meditating, almost daily, for the past 10 years now. I used headspace for many years when I first started and Sam Harris’ Waking up for the past few years. I was so excited when I found out Henry was coming out with his own app. His knowledge and many years of experience as a Zen teacher make The Way by far the most accessible, simple, easy to use and enjoyable guided meditation app I’ve used. Henry’s is a fantastic teacher and his teachings are so simple, yet impactful that this app is perfect for beginners and more seasoned students alike. I’ve always wanted to come practice with Henry in person, but this app is the next best thing. Thank you to both Henry and his team for creating this app and making Henry’s experience and teachings so easily accessible.
