Be in the Moment with High Heart Meditation
Breathe In, Breathe Out
Hello All, and Welcome! I am so glad you found me. I have been studying and apprenticing in different meditative spiritual lineages and cultures for the past 10 years or so. My service is to facilitate an empowered and peaceful state of being by guiding attention and inner energy in simple ways. What is learned in sessions can be applied in all areas of life.
Phrased differently:
I lead meditations, it works!

A little about me.
I have been fascinated by spirituality and the study of human nature, healing, and human potential as long as I can remember. I started in middle school with my parent's bookshelf and haven't stopped since. After completing high school with honors I started traveling and doing odd jobs along the way in search of what I had been reading about for years - actualized teachers.
My studies brought me to Maui, Brazil, Peru, all around the USA, and many places in between. I have trained in academic mindfulness based practices, such as a 200-Hour yoga training at Shoshoni Yoga Retreat in Colorado and 500-Hour at the Kripalu Center in Western Mass. I have traveled to meet public as well as unnamed teachers and have lived with master meditators apprenticing in 24/7 immersive "karate kid" style. In search of universal truth and my own truth I have hitchhiked cross country and traveled thousands of miles around our Hemisphere and have met amazing people everywhere I went. My emphasis is entirely on substance free practices, but I have joined in plant ceremony with Andean Q'ero shamans and participated in Wampanoag and Kahuna traditional sweat lodges. I love practices that celebrate life and self development.
This may seem like a laundry list to some readers, but I see the people I met as all pointing in the same direction. Many around the world have given the analogy of many trails leading to the top of a mountain. That mountain exists inside of us as well as serves for a greater universal symbol. I believe in, and see continual evidence for, a shared human awareness that we express in unique ways, but that is the same at heart. The same love, hope, loss, and self that we hold dear is lived by all those we share the Earth with, expressed through the filters of their circumstances and choices. This service I have set up, High Heart Meditation, is meant to offer tools that anyone can use to reconnect with their natural empowered and peaceful state.
