HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

15.jpg

Meditation is both the most simple thing AND the hardest. There are many ways to meditate, and all paths don't lead to the same goal.
Most people come to meditation because they suffer in one way or another: anxiety, depression, heartbreak, illness, physical pain, etc. 
I have yet to meet someone who doesn't find some sort of relief after meditating regularly for some time. 
Some folks might be happy to have found a little more peace in their life, a little more clarity.
While other people might want to go a lot deeper. They might long to understand who we truly are, why we are, and what experience is really made of. 
Someone might be aiming for 10% happier, while another yearn for AWAKENING. 

One thing is clear though; the longer you stay on the path, the more interesting territories you will stumble upon. 

Each and every path has pitfalls and trap doors. 
I've fallen into most. 
We may (falsely) think that our mind simply is too busy for meditation, that we can't do it. Which is like being too thirsty to drink water. Or too stiff to stretch.
We might get tangled up in doubt, we might wonder if we are doing it right? We might wonder if it's worth it.  We might get all strive-y and competitive. 
Many of us feel like fuck-ups because our minds are loud and unruly.
Practice might feel 'dry' at times, or like yet another item on our never-ending to-do list.
Or we might simply struggle to make it to the cushion, even though it's waiting for us in the corner of our very own bedroom. And even though we know deep inside that this is a really good thing.

I've been there and done that.

I fell in love with meditation on retreat in 2006 but then didn't meditate for another minute for the next five years.
But since attending a 10-day vipassana retreat in 2011 I've been a devoted practitioner, with many silent retreats, loads of self-study, and a mindfulness teacher training with Michael Stone under my belt. 

I also hold a BA in Psychology and have completed a three-month Mindfulness Mentor training under Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Sharon Shelton, and many other world-renowned meditation teachers.

My offer is to hold space for your practice, to guide and support you, and most of all, to hold you accountable.

You can book me for a one-off session. This could be good if you are well-established in your practice but have a particular issue you'd like to discuss or want some guidance on where to go from here.

***
Or you can book me for a course of 4+1 sessions. 
We'll then meet once a week for about 1 hour, for one month, via Zoom or in person. During the sessions we'll meditate together and then explore whatever comes up: discomfort, restlessness, boredom, strange body sensation. 
Each week there will be homework, which can include readings, guided meditations, podcasts, journaling, or videos.

In order to attend this program, you need to commit to practicing at least 20 mins/day during the month.

Included is also a follow-up session 3-4 weeks later. If you'd like to extend the program to three months, we can discuss that too. 

Possible topics:
*Meditation posture
*Hindrances
*Loving kindness 
*Difficult emotions
*The inner Critic
*Compassion practices

*Developing Samadhi (concentration/collectedness)
​* How to 'progress' on the path


PRICE:
€70 for a one-off session of 60-90 minutes
€225 for 5 sessions if you can't afford it but really want to do it, get in touch and we can work something out.
