While I'm not a meditation teacher, I feel that I have sufficient knowledge and experience to commence my son's training in meditation. I've participated in numerous courses on meditation and read many book relevant books, which have all contributed to my learning. My best learning, however, took place during the three 10-day silent meditation retreats I have completed. That was a while ago in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Since commencing fulltime studies, unfortunately I haven't made time to go on another. But I shall return. My ultimate goal, which makes me hugely excited, is to do more meditation courses and retreats with Levi and Jason. As a family we will go along and, in this way, Levi can gather the additional training he needs to develop his technique, knowledge, and understanding of meditation.
I also have a PhD in psychology and am a registered psychologist (though currently I'm on maternity leave). My training, work experience, extensive reading, and boundless interest in the mind, body, and spirit equip me well with the resources necessary to pass on the crucial life skill of meditation to my son. I will grow and develop in my own skill of meditation alongside my son as we proceed on this journey as a family. This is a journey imbibed with a strong desire to leave a legacy of a healthy and loving mind to our son. I have seen the destruction created by people, and the internal torture and struggles of people, who have unhealthy minds. I don't want that for anyone, and I definitely don't want that for my son.
