Peaceful Mind, Awakened Life
An MBSR Course Rooted in My Book
Break Free from Stress & Anxiety and mental clutter to reclaim lasting calm
Stress, Anxiety, Burnout, Overthinking, and mental clutter.
Course Overview
This 10-session course introduces the foundations of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), drawn directly from my book, Peaceful Mind, Awakened Life. Through Vipassana meditation, Mahasati — a hand-moving, open-eyes meditation practice — and the TRAIN technique, you'll learn a gentle, practical path to meet stress with greater clarity, steadiness, and ease.
What You Will Gain
✔ Distraction → Focused Attention: Train sustained attention using TRAIN and Mahasati together
✔ Overwhelm →Trigger Mapping: Build a personalized profile of what sets off your stress response
✔ Anxious → Calm & Grounded: Use breathwork and rhythmic movement to settle the nervous system
✔ Resisting Stress —> Peaceful Coexistence: : Learn to meet stress without fighting it
✔ Mental Clutter—> Clear- Minded Choice : Use the Investigate step of TRAIN to see thoughts clearly before acting on them
✔ Burnout —-> Inner Joy: : Move beyond symptom management toward sustained well-being
What Make This Different
The TRAIN Method
A five-step practice — Tune in, Recognize, Accept, Investigate, remain Non-attached — that gives you a clear, repeatable way to meet difficult moments instead of getting swept up in them.
Vipassana Meditation
Rooted in over 40 years of Thai Forest tradition, this foundational meditation practice trains the mind to observe experience directly, without judgment — the bedrock beneath every other tool in this course.
Mahasati Meditation
A rhythmic hand-movement practice developed by Luangpor Teean Jittasubho, rooted in the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness. Practiced with eyes open, this technique offers a moving alternative to seated meditation — ideal if stillness has never worked for you.
From the Book, Not Just About It
This course doesn't summarize the book — it teaches you to actually live it, with real-time guidance and group support you can't get from reading alone.

Emotional Intelligence Mastery
Reactivity, Conflict, Emotional Triggers, Self-Regulation
Course Overview
This course transforms emotional reactions into calm and confident responses. Using a powerful blend of Mindfulness, Yoga, and Nonviolent Communication (NVC), you will learn to rewire your brain and master your emotional landscape for greater peace, connection, and confidence.
What You Will Gain
-
Body-Brain Emotion Mapping: Locate emotions physically (yoga scans) and link them to met/unmet needs.
-
Science-Backed Self-Regulation: Use the "90-Second Reset" and neuroplasticity to choose wise, needs-based responses.
-
Needs-Clarity & Empowered Requests: Use NVC to diagnose anxiety and make self/external requests.
-
Conflict-to-Connection Tools: Get scripts to transform triggers (e.g., "You never listen!") into needs-focused dialogue (e.g., "I need clarity").
-
Sustainable EQ Habits: Build a personalized ritual: Morning needs check and Evening needs review for lasting growth.
What Make This Different
Body-First EQ
Focuses on physical sensation ("feel it, act now") over cognitive processing.
Self-Empowerment NVC
Starts with needs-based self-requests, not just others.
Neuroscience-Based
Tools are tied directly to neuroscience (e.g., Child's Pose for vagus nerve).
Practical Application
Provides ready-to-use scripts for work, parenting, and tough conversations.

you stuck.

emergency therapy).
