I am a meditation coach trained in the Unified Mindfulness system. This system is secular and scientifically oriented. It aims to take the mindfulness component shared across mystical, religious and spiritual traditions across the world and time, and formulate it in a way that the benefits and instructions of mindfulness are practical and not attached to any ideologies. We can discuss any goals you have, and see if we can work with them using mindfulness techniques. The goals, for instance may fall under categories of relief from suffering (eg. reduced stress, pain management) elevating fulfillment (eg. focusing more fully on pleasures like food or pleasant emotions) positive behavior change (eg. working with urges to engage in unwanted behaviors) and understanding yourself more fully.
