I’m more aware, more present at work. Or I’m in the bank just watching everyone getting frustrated, but not joining them…. I can’t imagine not doing it. There’s a peace that’s always there, a peaceful calmness, like sitting back.

For about ten years I have striven to find a mindfulness practise I can stay disciplined with. I tried dao yin, yoga, vipassana, non-dualism and many other models without success. Time and again I couldn’t maintain the enthusiasm or motivation to keep the practise going for more than a few months. I also never got to the place with those practices where I could really feel the benefits, which decreased the motivation.\r\n\r\nI am delighted and inspired to say that the technique Michael teaches has fulfilled me where the other attempts did not. Not only have I been consistently increasing my practise of this method over the past eight months, I notice the benefits. For the first time in my life I look forward to meditating! (I didn’t even know that was possible!!) Instead of feeling I ought to meditate, I’m feeling grateful and relieved that meditation is there for me to lean into. I feel like a different person afterwards, calmer and more trusting.
I would recommend this technique to anyone looking for a sustainable practice, struggling with stress, or who just wants to feel good again.

When the student is ready the teacher will appear, and that happened for me during the summer of 2008. Who knew that your teaching and connecting with the meditation group would bring such profound change.

It Will Change Your Life!
I have seen amazing improvement in clarity, focus and creativity. My relationship with others has improved in ways I did not think was possible.

what a great teaching and great teacher/sharer. the information is simple to apply and yields results reflective of the individual’s commitment to the process. with michael’s humble kindess and the peace available immediately, hard not to be committed, not to mention the chocolate treats are like no other. thanks so much.

When I meditate before bed, my sleep is deep, which is a miracle for me.

I feel like someone stole me and put someone else in my body.
Michael’s Mom
Earlier this year, I was having a really hard time. I felt like everything was breaking; I started to feel like I was breaking. My body was actually shaking.
I had the good fortune of attending an introduction to Michael’s meditation class, and I knew immediately that this was just what I needed. I signed up.
I quickly stabilized. I saw things as they really were, without my own worries and fears making them worse. I slept far better than I ever had. I developed a groundedness and self-assuredness I’m not sure I’ve had before.
My Dad had his stroke caused by the chemo in the middle of the course, in the part where we don’t have classes for over a month. I continued my daily meditation practise throughout his relatively quick dying process, even during my frequent trips back to Ottawa to be with him. I had a clarity and insight that amazed the people close to me, and I remained stable and clear at the end and after.
I attribute two courses to my current phenomenal business success. This is one of them. The other one is about money, and that one didn’t start working for me until I did this one.
This style of meditation is very, very different than any others I’ve seen. I’ve tried many different kinds of meditation before, and this is the only one I’ve been able to do. Not to mention, Michael gives fantastic support.
His next class is starting in 2 weeks. I would recommend it to anyone.

I’m noticing that I’m in a good mood all the time. I also feel an irrational confidence that the world will be okay in spite of interlocking crises; I’ve still been in a good mood despite reading catastrophic books…. I do it everyday at least with my eyes open like when I’m riding my bike or anytime I have a worrisome thought.
