As a student of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, my meditation lessons are rooted in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction using an accredited framework. This is a mostly secular or religious-neutral approach which is however rooted in Theravada Buddhist teachings on mindfulness. I blend Theravada Buddhist and secular angles according to the needs of each student. My teachings are rooted in the Pali suttas and Abhidhamma, and the teachings of various monastics, as well as the secular stress-reduction approach. While I invoke some Buddhist content, the lessons are designed for anyone of any faith or no faith trying to handle stress and/or deepen insight and mindfulness in daily life.
Specific meditations include the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (mindfulness of the breath, mindfulness of the body and feeling tones/vedana), mindfulness of mind states, and mindfulness of the impermanence of phenomena. Heart practices or Brahma Viharas (metta/lovingkindness, karuna/compassion, mudita/appreciative joy, upekkha/equanimity) are aimed at developing qualities of the mind and heart that can better help us navigate various life situations. Finally, I can offer some meditations on emptiness based on the Pali suttas.
