”What a beautiful gift you do have Dan! The gift of life…the breathing technique with meditation and yoga made a huge contribution to my health. It basically changed my life….
I feel blessed to be on the receiving end of it all
Dan ….You share your light energy so generously and genuinely - thank you for that.”
Siobhan (Hilton)
”I just loved the 3 classes, I was sad to have missed the 1st week alas your online lectures/recordings filled that gap.
The 2 hours we spent breathing and meditating were bliss, a very welcomed time out from my busy life.
You provided me with tools and techniques so basic yet so effective!!! Who knew you could change a mood or emotion within an instant just by breathing differently. I didn't sign up because I needed to learn to manage stress (which I tend to encounter due to my job) but it was an added bonus to recognizing my feelings and breathing them into something more relaxed and positive.
I had never felt energy through meditation before ...deep relaxation yes but not energy. How exciting to tap into this new experience,.
I adored the lectures, the diagrams and your simple teaching techniques.
I would recommend your course to anyone and everyone.”
Inner Healing is Our Greatest Resource
The complexity of our lives and bodies makes one thing clear:
our innate ability to heal is the most important resource we can cultivate in these times.
A practice that brings you into stillness offers more than calm—it creates the space for your whole system to ground, stabilise, and return to centre.
From that quiet centre, something beautiful begins to grow.
A joy that is not borrowed or fleeting,
but innate, unshakable, and entirely yours.
This is the gold of this life. This is the Gold of Practice.
The breath is our bridge.
It brings the nervous system and body back to balance,
and gives the body’s own ecosystem the time and space to heal itself.
It doesn’t push—it restores.
It reminds the body how to come home.
The Breath is Our Bridge
Basic
At its core, this course teaches you how to sit, how to breathe, and how to engage with your own mind.
These may sound simple—but they are the most advanced practices of all.
They form the foundation not only of meditation, but of how we live.
If you've ever said, "I can't meditate,"
it's not a failure—it's a foundation issue.
One that’s entirely fixable.
Once your seat, breath, and awareness are aligned,
you’ll discover something powerful:
Meditation isn’t something you do. It’s a state that is natural.
It’s already within you.
Intermediate
On a deeper level, this course makes the profound sciences of the wisdom traditions accessible and relevant.
We bridge ancient insights with modern understanding—because at the heart of it:
People are people in every age and time.
The fundamental question never changes:
How do I find lasting inner fulfillment?
This question cannot be answered by ideas alone.
It must be answered by you—in stillness, in breath, in the calm of a regulated system.
When the body returns to balance and the mind quiets, something remarkable happens:
The answers arise…
and the questions dissolve.
Advanced
The Wisdom is Hidden in Plain Sight
At its most advanced levels, this system of meditation is rooted in the Sri Vidya lineage of Himalayan sages—
some of the most sought-after and reclusive teachers in the history of wisdom traditions.
Their teachings are subtle, precise, and intentionally guarded.
But here’s the paradox:
The most advanced secrets aren’t buried in complexity—
they’re hidden in the foundations.
Right in plain sight.
Without the right grounding—how to sit, how to breathe, how to engage the mind—
true meditative depth remains elusive.
That’s why this course matters.
Because with the right guidance, the simplest practices unlock the greatest transformation.
And a teacher who understands where to place emphasis becomes invaluable on your journey inward.
