"We must learn to be mindful of the dark side of meditation: indifference, conceit, detachment, pity, routine, coldness, self-cherishing, and pride; these create blind hardness."

Note: I now provide these meditation training services by special-request only and I exclusively work with advanced and intermediate practitioners guiding them through the Stages of Enlightenment.  There are many teachers for beginners and very few for the advanced practitioner, so I must make my time available in ways that can generate the most benefit to those who are close to attaining liberation from Samsara and need help to do so.

Meditation & Analytical Mind Training.

Core Specialties: across all of the various meditation techniques that I instruct on, I provide guidance and practice in properly identifying, applying, and balancing (1) concentration, (2) effort, (3) focus, and (4) mindfulness in order to teach you how to find and hold the object of your meditation with stability, consistency, and reliability.  This is the stuff of Enlightenment. This is much, much, deeper than it sounds and you will not find this anywhere else (except perhaps from one of my teachers or one of my students).
Buddhist Meditation Training:

Anapanasati Meditation (stabilising/breath)
Analytical Meditation (cogitation)

There are many different meditation techniques that are taught and applied in traditional Eastern Buddhism, and moving beyond the the introductory breathing and awareness meditations is critical to the long-term success of the time you spend on the cushion.  Together we will explore some of these other techniques to find the ones that are most in-line with your skills and practices, and those that would be beneficial (e.g., filling skill or knowledge gaps) to helping you achieve tangible and practical on- and off-the-cushion results.  We will identify the techniques that will flesh-out your practice and fill the gaps that aren't being addressed in your current practice (e.g., the ones that are holding you back).  This develops the foundations for streamentry.

You will learn how and when to use differing meditation techniques as specific antidotes to the inevitable challenges and difficulties that you will encounter in life; for example, that using tonglen is best for being stuck in a disgusting hotel room, while practicing metta is better if you're ego-tripping after a win/loss situation. 

You're not going to find this out in a book or at your local dharma center.

On top of that, this is more than just about providing you with a stable foundation from which to develop a well-rounded, productive, and stable meditation practice, it's about developing the skills needed to realise awakening, attain streamentry, and make your way down the path toward full enlightenment.
[ OPTION 2: ADVANCED MEDITATION TRAINING ]
Advanced Meditation Training: Through Awakening and Toward Enlightenment
(This service is appropriate for intermediate-level+ meditation practitioners.)
CLICK FOR DETAILS
Time to take your meditation to the next level and apply a purposeful direction to your time on the cushion: awakening and realistically entering into the clearly defined Stages of Enlightenment as you learn to make highly-measurable progress toward Nirvana.  We will explore various natural states of altered consciousness and the direct realisation of Emptiness (sunyata) by way of attaining deeper levels of sustained concentration (jhana) or high-velocity insight (vipassana).
