One-on-One Spiritual Guidance

Any spiritual guidance or instruction must be sensitive to the context of a practitioner’s life and deeper spiritual aspiration.

Description of One-on-One Sessions

One-on-ones begin by dropping into a brief period of meditation practice together. This period may or may not involve guidance.

The space will then open up to verbal communication. My goal is to offer guidance, questions, and reflections which facilitate your natural emergence of clarity. We will focus again and again on three core aspects of your spiritual path - your experience of meditation (deep meditation), your experience living with honesty with yourself and others (relational integrity), and your experience living from your deepest aspiration (world building). This process involves very vulnerable inquiry and a relentless commitment to honesty and Truth.

The expectation is you remain connected with your meditation practice, so that as much as possible, any exchange of verbal communication takes place from practice and mutual connection (a “we space”) rather than merely from intellect. Practically, this can be done by feeling the sensations of your body as deeply and continuously as possible while speaking and listening. Through maintaining our connection with practice, we’re attempting to communicate from openness, sensitivity, honesty, sensation, energy flow, and awareness.

These sessions are dynamic and entirely sensitive to the individual. Though I may offer certain core principles and practices, one-on-ones cannot offer cookie cutter programs. Any guidance presented is seeking to match your particular life circumstance with your deeper spiritual aspiration. Assignments, meditation instructions, or principles related to deep meditation, relational integrity, or world building may change depending on who I am with.

These offerings are intended for the benefit of all life on Earth. When we recognize the depth of suffering in our own mind and heart, we see that the myriad problems of the world arise as a function of this suffering; to work towards purifying the mind of this suffering is to be of benefit to all beings, whether we intend it that way or not. These one-on-one offerings are a way to help facilitate our shared collective responsibility through the direct actuality of the unfolding of our lives. This process is often painful, difficult, and counter intuitive. Together though, I hope we can move through the obstructions that prevent your life from expressing its deepest aspiration, through meditation, through relationships, and through your world.

 FAQs

  • These sessions can be anyone who seeks to realize their true nature and then live by that honesty. These sessions are for those seeking to deepen their meditation practice and put all aspects of their life in accord with the practice. These sessions for for world builders, individual’s seeking to create a life from love, compassion, wisdom, and peace that aligns with their particular authentic expression of individuality.

  • My goal with facilitating these sessions is not to merely provide conceptual frameworks of this offering, although that may happen. Instead, the intent is to meet one another from a mind of deep practice, as much as possible. Rather than speaking from the conceptual mind, there should be an earnest effort to speak from silence; in this way, any conceptual communication is always in service to this silence. Moreover, these sessions are meant to serve as a source of energetic anchoring. Communication, therefore, is not only happening at the level of mind, but at the subtle energetic levels of energy body.

  • Non-duality, or any kind of metaphysical or philosophical understanding of reality not grounded in the moment by moment arising and passing away of direct experience are the supporting conditions of self-deception. Additionally, as the mind is purified of craving and aversion through ever deepening degrees of perceptual honesty, reordering, and clarification, and as the mind is cultivated with skillful and wholesome qualities, the practice begins gradually empowering all other aspects of life. And finally, it is incredibly easy to delude ourselves on this path through unconscious layers of egoic identification, egoic aggrandizement, and general misconduct in our relationships, including our relationship with ourselves. Not only does meditation allow the conditions for Awakening to automatically unfold, it provides a space of testing one’s self, and the depth of one’s realization. Have we truly let go, or are we still caught in ignorance when deep discomfort arises?

  • Some may assert that Non-duality implies primordial perfection, that there are no levels, degrees, or facets to Awakening (that THIS is it), and that there is no real need to apply effort through meditation practice and certainty not to live in accord with one’s life purpose. What this misses, however, is the relationship between honesty and truth. Honesty is the unfolding of truth in manifest form, whether this honesty originates from Awakening or a misunderstanding of the nature of self is inconsequential. As long as honesty is expressing itself, we are living in accord with truth; the expression of honesty, however, continues to deepen as the path unfolds. Even after the primordial perfection of Non-duality has been directly realized, the honest expression of realization may very well be to continue striving in the world, serving our specific web of relationships. Because this is an honest expression of our emotional, physical, and psychological condition of identity, it is not incongruent with Non-duality, and thereby, in no way creates conflict between action and primordial peace.

  • Many coaches do not understand the necessity of acting from source. Many teachers are only interested in helping facilitate meditation guidance. This offering seeks to integrate the realization of Awakening with the unfolding our your individual life, for the benefit of all.
