Meditation

This work may be relevant if you sense that your relationship with your own mind is costing you more than it should, that thought, anxiety, or inner noise has become a kind of background condition you function around rather than something you can actually be with.

It may also be relevant if you have tried meditation before and found that apps, classes, or self-directed practice didn't produce what you were looking for, not because you were doing it wrong, but because something about the context or the approach wasn't quite right.

What is needed is not prior knowledge or a particular state of mind, it is a willingness to sit with experience as it actually is, including the restlessness, the doubt, and the difficulty, without immediately trying to change it; that willingness is something anyone can bring.

Sessions begin with attention to posture and breath: the physical foundation from which the practice unfolds.

From there, guidance is offered with precision and restraint, leaving space for silence as a central element rather than filling the session with instruction.

The orientation is experiential: you are not being told about meditation, you are being supported in doing it; this means that some sessions will feel very still, and others will feel full of movement, thought, or difficulty, both are part of the practice.

What is being developed is the capacity to remain present with whatever arises, rather than succeeding at producing a particular experience.

Over time, sessions shift from guided practice toward shared sitting, less instruction, more accompaniment, with the practice increasingly self-sustaining.

Probably, yes. Most yoga and meditation as it is commonly offered is oriented toward achieving a particular state: relaxation, focus, flexibility, calm.

What is offered here is oriented toward something different: developing a direct relationship with your own experience, whatever it is. This is less about doing it right and more about learning to stay. If previous attempts felt like performance or produced a sense of failing at something, this approach tends to feel quite different.

Not necessarily, at least not in the way most people expect. This practice does not aim to suppress, quieten, or resolve anxiety directly, what it supports is a different relationship to anxiety: the capacity to observe it arriving rather than finding yourself already inside it, to be with difficult states without immediately needing them to stop.

Many people find that over time anxiety becomes less of a governing force, not because the practice has eliminated it, but because the relationship to it has changed. The thoughts are still sometimes there; the charge they carry tends to lessen.

This is a different and more lasting shift than the temporary relief that relaxation techniques can provide.

No. The practice draws from non-dual contemplative traditions (including Kashmir Shaivism, Tibetan Buddhism, and related lineages) but is offered here as a practical discipline, not as religious instruction.

The traditions are referenced as the source of the understanding, not as a belief system to adopt; no affiliation, conversion, or prior knowledge is required; what is required is a willingness to pay attention.

In the early stages, weekly sessions tend to build momentum most effectively, enough continuity to establish the practice before it becomes self-sustaining.

Over time, as the practice develops, sessions may move to fortnightly or monthly, there is no fixed requirement; what matters more than frequency is consistency.

A regular practice, even a simple one, develops more depth over time than intensive periods followed by long gaps.

Sessions range from 60 to 90 minutes depending on what is being worked with and where you are in the practice. The duration is discussed when you book and may evolve over time as the practice deepens.

There is no fixed number, practice develops through continuity: the work is cumulative in a different way from the bodywork cycles, less about reaching a particular point and more about building a relationship with your own experience over time.

Some people begin with a series of weekly sessions to establish the foundation, then move to fortnightly or monthly as the practice becomes more self-sustaining. The aim is not to need the sessions indefinitely, but to arrive at a practice that belongs to you.

Comfortable clothing you can sit still in for an extended period.

Warmth matters, the body temperature tends to drop during sustained stillness, so a light layer nearby is useful.

Sessions are held seated, so loose or soft clothing is ideal.

An initial meeting is the natural starting point: to understand where you are, what you are looking for, and whether yoga, meditation or a combination of both makes most sense. From there, a first series of sessions establishes the foundation. You can book an initial meeting directly, or reach out with questions first.
