About

I've been teaching and practicing meditation for over 45 years. I trained as a monk in India. I've taught over 15,000 people in the US, Canada and India. I've trained in a variety of meditative traditions as can be seen in the books and articles I've authored. I'm also professionally trained in psychology and neurotherapy. I've been on the faculty of a medical school for 21 years. I'm the founder and director of the Anam Cara Meditation Foundation, a non-profit I started in 2001.

It's a privelege for me to guide people in their discovery of inner resources and the ability to free their mind and body from old patterns through the use of meditative practices. Meditation is the ultimate self-empowerment practice! Through mindfulness, mantra and guided meditation practices people transform their lives. There's no better way to help people. I've taught in prisons, hospitals, corporate settings, universities and more. Everyone can benefit from practicing meditation.

Im a long-time attendee of Anam Caras Thursday night meditation programs in Armonk and of the semi-annual retreats. The instructor Lawrence Edwards has an amazing depth of spiritual knowledge and personal experience that is very rare to find. He offers grounded, practical advice, as well as clear, in-depth explanation of traditional spiritual teachings. I always come away from his programs with a new enthusiasm for continuing and deepening my practices. Lawrence also creates a very relaxed and warm environment that invites questions and sharing, and its a delight to be in conversation with others in the group. Lawrence is a genuine, kind-hearted teacher who brings true skill and integrity to all that he offers.
Anam Cara programs are always inspiring, and those who attend offer a warm sense of community and mutual support. I couldnt imagine my own journey without this community. If youre looking to deepen your meditation practice, Anam Cara is a gem of a resource!

Walking into Anam cara’s meditation room is like walking into a safe haven filled with warmth, laughter, love and spirituality. Lawrence shares his deep knowledge of meditation in an open and approachable way, resulting in endless benefits to those who develop their own practice. Highly recommended.

I have practiced meditation since 1978 and have meditated with such people as Jack Kornfield and Jon Kabat-Zinn. I haven’t worked with Anam Cara but have gone on retreats offered by it and consider Lawrence Edwards to be a teacher of the first rank. He brings a deep understanding of spirituality to the work and an openness to sharing that knowledge in accessible ways. Chanting with him is a bit of Heaven.

Working with Anam Cara meditation has been and still is very enlightening.
Lawrence Edward is master teacher. His teaching more than anything is his presence.
Every time I am in his presence my being,my life is transformed in some way.
He is a walking meditation.very rare to encounter such teacher who walks the talks.
I just want to say I love Anam Cara,I love Lawrence Edward.
If anyone has the opportunity to be in his presence,go for it.you will never forget the encounter.
The transmission of the experience of meditation for sure will be given.
I will give 10 stars not 5 if I had a choice.
