Fundamentals
Philosophy
Forget everything you think you know about meditation. It's not just about emptying your mind or contorting yourself into uncomfortable positions… it’s simpler, more accessible, and deeply relevant to your daily life.
Meditation at Flow Fields is about befriending your inner and outer worlds, with all their quirks and complexities. It's about cultivating a relationship with yourself, your situation, and your surroundings – one moment of Presence at a time. It’s about connecting with the mindful space that exists “in and around” your thoughts and emotions. Within this space of awareness, new perspectives, profound inner clarity, and your own innate wisdom are allowed to naturally emerge. This connection is what empowers you to navigate the challenges of a fast-paced world with greater ease, resilience, and authentic strength. It also helps make the good moments richer. Meditation is our direct avenue to experiencing Presence – this very moment.
Drawing from deep personal practice and diverse experiences in both creative and high-stakes environments, my approach to meditation is rooted in authenticity, simplicity, and genuine empowerment. I believe meditation should fit seamlessly into your life, not the other way around. Whether you're a busy professional, a curious beginner, or a seasoned meditator, I'll guide you in finding the tools and rhythm that work for you. I'll help dispel the myths and show you how to integrate mindfulness into your everyday life, so you can access its benefits anytime, anywhere, and connect with the wellspring of your inherent potential. Through this practice, you can experience profound shifts: reduced stress, heightened focus, balanced emotions, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.
Meditation Principles
Meditation is the art of becoming intimately familiar with yourself and the world around you. It's about cultivating presence—a deep connection to the here and now—where true healing, strength, joy, and ultimately, empowered clarity reside. Through my own journey with meditation, I've discovered its power to transform not only our inner world but also our experience of everyday life.
In my meditation coaching, these key principles will guide your practice, helping you cultivate presence, inner clarity, and unlock your inherent potential:
Lab work and field work: We'll explore meditation both in dedicated practice ("lab work") to develop focus and refine techniques, and in the midst of daily life ("field work") to integrate mindfulness into your everyday activities. This dual approach empowers you to apply these skills in any situation, unlocking your potential for sustained presence.
A dab'll do ya: Even a few moments of meditation can be beneficial. You don't need a lot of time to experience the positive effects of calming the mind, connecting to your inner stillness, and fostering immediate clarity.
Non-judgment: Approach your meditation practice with kindness and acceptance. Observe your thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment, recognizing them as natural human experiences. This compassionate, non-judgmental observation is foundational to experiencing your inner world with freedom. It creates the open, fertile space from which fresh insights, deeper understanding, and your own authentic wisdom can emerge, allowing you to respond to life with greater peace and effectiveness.
Feeling-based experiences: In our often thinking-dominated lives, meditation helps us cultivate more feeling-based experiences. This brings you fully into the present moment, deepening your connection to yourself, your surroundings, and the emergent wisdom that arises from direct, embodied experience rather than just intellectual analysis.
By incorporating these principles (and a few more we'll explore together), you'll cultivate a sustainable and fulfilling meditation practice that seamlessly integrates into your lifestyle, empowering you with lasting presence, inner clarity, and a greater capacity to meet your potential.
Neuroscience and Meditation
Recent research in neuroscience has shed light on the profound impact that meditation can have on the brain. Dr. Wendy Suzuki, a renowned neuroscientist and professor at New York University, has dedicated her career to studying the effects of exercise and meditation on the brain. Her research has shown that even brief, daily meditation can lead to significant improvements in attention, memory, mood, emotional regulation, and our capacity for cultivating presence and inner clarity.
Dr. Suzuki's work highlights the plasticity of the brain, demonstrating that we have the power to change its structure and function through intentional practices like meditation. In her TED Talk, she explains: "Meditation is a way of actively training your mind to focus on the present moment, and it's something that anyone can do."
Her research has shown that meditation can:
Increase the thickness of the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for long-term memory.
Strengthen the connections between different brain regions, improving communication, cognitive function, and enhancing your potential for integrated thought and insightful action.
Reduce activity in the amygdala, the brain's fear center, leading to decreased stress and anxiety, thereby fostering a greater sense of inner calm, resilience, and freedom to experience.
Increase activity in the prefrontal cortex, the brain region responsible for focused attention, wise decision-making, and empowered emotional regulation – key foundations for developing inner clarity.
These neuroscientific findings provide compelling evidence for the transformative power of meditation. They highlight how training your mind through this practice can reshape the brain to enhance cognitive function, foster emotional well-being, and support overall brain health—creating a fertile ground for deeper presence, enhanced inner clarity, and the emergence of your fullest potential. This scientific understanding complements the timeless wisdom of meditative practices, affirming the profound journey of self-discovery and empowerment that I guide at Flow Fields.
Pillars and Tools
Overview
To support your journey toward greater presence and inner clarity, my program is structured around three core pillars: the Meditation Toolkit, the Five Periods framework, and the Event-Reaction-Response model. These pillars provide a comprehensive and integrated approach, empowering you to develop a sustainable meditation practice and integrate mindfulness deeply into your everyday life.
Meditation Toolkit
This toolkit empowers you with powerful yet simple techniques designed to help you cultivate deep presence, achieve inner clarity, and navigate the challenges of modern life with greater resilience. These tools create the foundation from which new insights can emerge, and include:
Dropping In: Gently guide your awareness from your busy mind into the felt sense of your body, cultivating a deep sense of presence, stillness, and the inner clarity that arises from embodied awareness.
Filling Out: Expand your awareness outward, feeling the boundaries of your body and the space it occupies, cultivating a grounded connection to your physical presence and the expansive potential of your awareness.
Connecting to Breath: Observe the natural rhythm of your breath without judgment, anchoring your attention in the present moment, fostering inner clarity and connecting you to your vital life force.
Breath to Movement: Connect your breath with your movements, bringing mindful presence into everyday activities, helping you experience greater flow, ease, and empowered action.
Three Eternals: Explore the non-form aspects of existence—space, stillness, and silence—cultivating a profound sense of expansiveness, peace, and connection to the timeless presence from which new perspectives can emerge.
Five Joys: Consciously engage with your five senses as pathways to joy, enriching your present moment experience, and awakening your senses to the fullness of life's potential.
Seven Friends: Cultivate relationships with seven distinct energies, inspired by the chakra system, to invite balance, harmony, and well-being, empowering you to align your inner energies for a more integrated and vibrant life.
The Meditation Toolkit provides these essential practices for cultivating presence and inner clarity, empowering your journey towards a more mindful life. The Five Periods framework, which we'll explore next, offers a structure for integrating these transformative practices into your daily rhythm.
Five Periods
This framework empowers you to structure your day with intention, maximizing not just productivity but also your well-being and connection to presence. By dividing your day into five distinct periods, you can create personalized routines that support your goals, cultivate a balanced lifestyle, and foster inner clarity. While the specifics of your Five Periods will be unique, I'll guide you in incorporating key daily routines, with special attention to the Morning Routine – a valuable time for setting a mindful tone and inviting positive emergence for the day ahead.
Morning Routine: Start your day with mindful movement, meditation, and intentional messaging to cultivate presence, set a positive tone, and prepare with clarity for the day ahead.
Clock-Out Routine: Transition with presence from work to personal time, engaging in activities that help you de-stress, recharge, and reconnect with your inner balance and clarity.
Evening Routine: Wind down with practices that promote deep relaxation, mindfully releasing the day's experiences, and preparing you for restful, rejuvenating sleep that supports overall well-being.
To make these routines sustainable and feel empowering rather than burdensome, we'll focus on 'checkbox activities.' This approach prioritizes consistent engagement and completion over sheer duration, fostering lasting habits and genuine integration of these practices into your life.
Event-Reaction-Response
Life throws us curveballs. Unexpected events trigger reactions within us—some welcome, others not so much. While we can't always control these events, there's relief in acknowledging that. It frees us from the burden of trying to manage the unmanageable. Our reactions arise next, shaped by our past experiences. There's intelligence in these reactions, valuable information waiting to be uncovered. And there's relief in understanding that these reactions are a natural part of being human.
This is where meditation comes in. It helps us observe the space in and around our reactions without judgment. We become curious about the narratives and emotions within us, exploring the space around our reactions, allowing new, more resourceful possibilities to emerge. This mindful observation – a cornerstone of cultivating presence and inner clarity – is what allows us to move from automatic reaction to a conscious, empowered response.
In my coaching sessions with you, you'll learn practical techniques to cultivate deep present moment awareness (Presence), identify your triggers with clarity, and choose conscious responses aligned with your values – responses that tap into your highest potential.
The Event-Reaction-Response model isn't about suppressing your emotions. It's about recognizing the natural flow of life, embracing your human experience, and empowering yourself to navigate challenges with greater wisdom, compassion, and the freedom to fully experience your life with authenticity.
