Where Your Attention Goes, So Goes Your Life

 

Zen Meditation (Zazen) will train you to direct your attention consciously and intentionally.
 
Mastering how to keep your attention where you want will impact the quality of your life.
 
Meditation, therefore, is the foundation for making any positive change you want.

 
But here are some of the reasons you might give for NOT meditating:

 
I get it. The resistance is real!
 
I’m here to dispel the endless myths and lies around meditation. I’ll show you that it’s possible to have a successful meditation practice no matter who you are or what you do.
 
Between my extensive Zen training and live workshops, I have literally taught HUNDREDS of people how to meditate.
 
Many participants write back to tell me that they’re still meditating today.
 
 

 

In this online workshop, I will not only teach you the formal Zen meditation posture, but I will also reveal to you what goes on inside your mind that’s creating struggle.
 

 
Through the use of guided visualizations and exercises, you will have a direct experience of why meditation is important and why you want to start meditating RIGHT NOW.

Thank You!… I will never ever be able to express the impact your class and morning emails have had on my life. I have found myself waking each morning in anticipation of receiving your, ‘Words of Wisdom’, and my time in meditation. Please don’t stop your emails. My family is reaping the rewards of this experience and it has opened the door to many new conversations and thought processes.

Alex’s workshop was truly a game-changer for me. I was always interested in meditation but was never able to commit. I always heard do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night, and most days, it was way too hard for me to find that time. Alex teaches that consistent practice is the most important thing and that 5 minutes a day can be enough to make a difference. After learning this style of Zen Buddhist Meditation, I found it so easy to take the time to just sit and BE. This practice has made me a better, more compassionate person. I listen better and I respond without overreacting. It has made me a better friend, teacher, athlete, and overall person.

Before I met Alex I had a meditation practice that was feeling, frankly, lazy. I realized how important meditation is in one’s life, however, mine was just not making it for me. A few months ago I attended a weekend entitled, Reinventing Yourself. Alex was one of the speakers. I was immediately struck by his gentle yet very focused manner, his talk of love but also of dedication. In his talk, he described the meditation he practices and teaches. He demonstrated and then had us do it with him. It resonated with me immediately. There was nothing lazy about this technique. What came through very clearly for me was that this is training for my brain. Training in focus and calm. Training to always go back to my breath. Breath where there is safety as opposed to my thoughts. I am an athlete and train my body. It only makes sense to train my brain as well [it has by the way improved the sports I play]. Having started with 5 minutes per session, I am now up to 15 minutes. I use the technique of going back to the breath during my day as well. It has increased my focus, my calm [diminishing anxieties] and allows me to go into situations where I might not have gone in the past. As a coach, I have passed on Alex’s book and videos to my clients. I am very grateful to have Alex and his work in my life.

I’ve been meditating for 5 minutes every night before I go to bed.
 
I look forward to it every day. I feel content, at peace, and I am actually able to release those thoughts that flow in. I never thought silence could be so soothing, I always thought I needed the opposite! I plan on increasing my time in small intervals, 5 minutes is now too short of a time for me…when my chime goes off it actually disturbs me…need to add time!!! 🙂 I am able to refocus my energy (most of the time) to positive thoughts and I am sleeping much better also!
 
Thanks so much for having your workshop, and your motivational emails really are inspiring!

Since taking Alex’s workshop I have adopted the style of meditation he teaches and I have continued this practice for a year and a half now. As I continue to practice, I am more present to each moment of my life and mindful of the people who are in my life.

I have been practising meditation EVERY DAY SINCE TAKING YOUR WORKSHOP.
 
The voices are active and distracting. I gently guide myself back to the breath and start counting from one… two… I just keep doing this and sit through it.
 
I start my practise doing the Yin Yoga series you shared… then I get right to my meditation practise.
 
I have set my intention to take time for Yoga and Meditation prior to 11 am each day… as this is my priority.

 
I am noticing my flexibility is improving in my hips… so it is still difficult to hold in the yoga posture without discomfort. However, it is not painful…, and I can sit with it now for 20 minutes each day. I will stay with this for a while until it becomes more comfortable. My body is adjusting, and I see improvement. It is a fine line between discomfort and pain… I’m learning to be gentle and compassionate with myself, as your book suggests.

 
Alex, I also appreciate the daily motivational emails.
Thank you for this encouragement and support!
 
I have completed your most recent book and have downloaded a couple onto my Kindle…savouring them 🙂
 
I am “doing and practising” …. a joyous time in my life.
 
Thank you so much!
