Learning meditation is the easy bit. Integrating into our daily lives is the hard part.
Think of it this way: Doing a guided meditation when you're stressed is like taking an aspirin for a headache. It may help in the moment, but the relief doesn't last. A sustainable meditation practice is like taking a daily vitamin. It builds resilience over time and prevents the stress “headache” from showing up in the first place. All those claims you hear about the benafits of meditation come from long term practice. This is where a teacher makes all the difference.
Many people tell us the same story: they've downloaded apps, tried guided meditations, even stuck with them for a while — but nothing seemed to last. The practice never stuck. It was only after working with a teacher who could answer their questions and guide them through the common challenges that they were able to build a meditation habit they could sustain on their own. That's the difference a teacher makes. You don't just learn about meditation. You learn how to actually practice it, supported by a community to keep you motivated — for life.
"The time you took in the meditation sessions mean a lot to me, and already having an impact. Your approach makes it so easy, and it's complementary to what I've been doing sporadically. It's been a tough time, week, and day, and this has really helped. Thank you!"

He knows what it is like to feel overwhelmed, fried, and exhausted, and he understands firsthand how the 1 Giant Mind approach can help shift those patterns and support meaningful change over time. After navigating his own health and nervous system challenges, including losing over 70 pounds and managing chronic stress, he discovered that learning meditation from a live teacher made the habit truly sustainable. Inspired by this experience, he now guides others in building a consistent meditation practice in a down-to-earth way that makes meaningful change accessible to those living busy modern lives.
