Deep meditation should not be something you need to "try" to achieve. It should be something you find with relative ease. You have likely been following a prescribed class or been frustrated that you cannot seem to calm your mind. I may be able to help you find the path that leads you to the outcome you desire.
I have searched for a meditation master or guru to help answer questions I have resulting from deep meditations. I have found the process nearly impossible. I realized that others might be seeking the same related to advancing their own meditation practices. I can offer you a personalized approach to building a successful meditation practice of your own. One-on-one, by the hour, without long-term commitments or group classes.
I will not work with just anyone. I want to make sure we communicate well and that I believe I can make a difference at the level you need. We can start with a call to discuss your current meditation practice, your life, your passions, and what you feel "stuck" on. I will discuss how we might "unstick" you and we can then decide if there is a good match.
Reach out, let's talk, then maybe move forward. Deep meditation may be within your grasp.
My name is James and in the past 2 years, I have experienced an incredible life-changing journey. While many events contributed to this journey, deep meditation was/is the underlying reason I am here today. If you have been searching for life-changing clarity, I may be able to help you.
Backstory:
Like all of us, my life had been filled with both good and bad. To best explain my journey, I will focus on the bad that led to my near death, then to my “rebirth” through meditation.
I had a difficult childhood; a great family but a lot of bullying when I was in grade school. I married young, had kids young, and took risks in my career (some good and some awful). I held a series of high-stress jobs, with extreme travel and responsibilities. I had difficult family pains, a child who needed a series of complex surgeries spanning years, and ultimately divorce. Covid hit, I was “downsized” from a high-paying job, I was completely isolated, and developed a drinking habit. I was empty inside, apathetic, then truly nihilistic. I cared about nothing; not friends, not family, not my future, and least of all myself. For 6 months, I kept no schedule. I slept when I felt like it and ate hardly anything. One sunny morning I had a seizure and fell, severely concussed, bleeding out internally, and was found by a friend 3 days later, hours from death. I was rushed to the hospital and “stabilized” with 4 units of blood, a lot of fluids, and a week-long stay.
At the urging of my family, I went through a series of programs that did nothing for me because I truly did not care or even wish to improve. After months, I was in such a program reading my 8 or 10th book on Buddhism when I randomly signed up for my first meditation class and discovered I took naturally to it. From that first day, I discovered a tiny spark that was still alive within me. I have built that spark into a roaring flame.
I quit all unhealthy habits (drinking, eating poorly, being sedentary, isolating myself) and forged a new life path. Be kind, help others, respect my body, look for true joy, dream and chase those dreams, travel, and make friends everywhere I go. I found love, meaning in life, a peaceful and calm mind, and most importantly a “clarity” that I know how I want to approach my remaining life and how to achieve my goals.
I have continued my meditation and spoken to gurus, Lamas, and advanced meditation teachers in search of a personal teacher. I was/am shocked at just how difficult it is to find anyone who truly knows deep and advanced meditation as well or ideally better than I do. I have shared my meditation practices with many friends and they have encouraged me to “put myself out there” to help others. So, with this site, I officially open myself to you.
If you have been searching for that Zen-like benefit of meditation that you have heard so much about but found elusive. If you can’t stand the thought of yet another program that tells you about belly breathing and moving energy to your chakras. If you are disenchanted with the idea that a group meditation class can somehow give you the personalization that you suspect you need to be successful in calming your mind and making a breakthrough… Let’s talk.
I will discuss your journey with you, ask questions about your practices, learn about your life and your passions, and do my best to share what I believe to be powerful and practical tools. If you and I connect, I will be a guide for as long as we see a benefit; with the hope that I can help you to realize the calm, peace and focus you have been searching for.
