| Adrian was born anxious and claims to be the only 5 year old in his class at school with worry lines. Later this anxiety manifested its self in debilitating bouts of depression, alcoholism and a whole host of other addictive behaviours. As a qualified social worker, he was desperately trying to apply his training to help himself without success and things just got worse until eventually he was forced to take long term sick leave from work. |
| Adrian had read that meditation was useful in managing depression and started teaching himself from a book. He soon found that he could find some quiet space and relief from the misery in his head and after a few months he was even able to stop drinking and his meditation practice really took off. One morning he experienced a profound realisation experience, it only lasted few minutes but there was no going back, Adrian had realised that ‘now is all there is.’ |
| Within weeks pretty well everything that he loved and cared about was taken from him and his whole world fell apart. But to his surprise he found he was coping uncharacteristically well, he was able to deal with and indeed grow from the pain rather it driving him deeper into despair. |
| He realised that meditation is the answer! If it could help him it could help everyone! His life’s purpose must be about sharing this discovery and finding a way of presenting meditation to appeal to everyone, to show others how to heal themselves and thereby heal the world around them. |
| From that point on, Adrian’s life has taken on a flow of its own, if we told you the full story you wouldn’t believe it - even Adrian doesn’t believe it sometimes. |
| Through hard work, good fortune, acts of great generosity and extreme kindness, his vision is taking shape. With guidance of the greatest spiritual authors of our time such as Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie, and also through lessons and reflections from some incredible people he has met on the way, Adrian has developed a unique style of teaching which is free of the weirdness and cult like characteristics of many meditation practices. You can see for yourself in the Learning Zone his teaching videos are available for members. |
| Adrian is also available for one to one teaching and healing sessions. |

| Martine is primarily responsible for looking after and developing the Modern Meditation community, so you’ll see a lot of her on the website. Which is lucky for you guys because everyone loves Martine and as you’ll discover it is hard not to, she’s simply beautiful inside and out and her presence shines for all to see. |
| Martine, like a lot of people finds that her thinking is very self critical. Even as a small child, she had to listen to her head telling her she was useless, not good enough, bad, ugly, unlovable and unworthy. It constantly picked on her and eventually reached the point where her unhappiness was manifesting itself in angry outbursts, food addiction and obsessive compulsive disorders that were completely disabling. She met Adrian and he persuaded her to try mediation, and she has never looked back. |
| Within weeks she was having powerful realisations and finding some real peace within. She began to let go of her painful old associations and self destructive patterns and then overcome with her own love rising, she jumped head long into Adrian’s mad adventure and no one could of predicted what would happen next. It’s been a mad but worthwhile adventure which is shared by many, many others now, but Martine retains a unique position within the team; she brings such a loving feminine energy that just to be near her brings comfort and a feeling of home - If you can be really still you’ll feel it. Why not come along and meet her at one of our workshops. |
| Martine wants you all to be part of our community, so we can share something very special. She has lots of ideas and would love to hear your suggestions or comments and is eagerly awaiting your written or video contributions and photos. |
| She would also love to hear from anyone who wants to be more directly involved too. |
| You can e-mail Martine at info@modernmeditation.net |

| Tim is a cheeky, charming Irishman with all the blarney, and an endless appetite for fun - you can’t help but like him. He is a founder member and the business brains behind Modern Meditation. |
| Tim was already successful in business and had reached the point in his life where he had achieved the kind of material success that most people dream of, but found it empty and quite meaningless and he was left with an unquenching thirst for something, but he had no idea what. |
| Tim had no experience of meditation until he was introduced to Modern Meditation to help with stress and to aid his personal development, but he soon found something far more important emerging. Having experienced the benefits first hand he was determined to help bring our work to as wider audience as possible. It is his business acumen and very considerable financial commitment that has made this website possible and we are ever grateful for his endless patience, guidance and support. |
| We love Tim very much, he is a true friend, an all round “wicked geezer”! |

You’ll see a lot of Jason around and about, he is the good looking one in the teaching session videos contained in the Learning Zone. Jason has really embraced the practice and is transforming himself daily. Life hasn’t dealt him an easy hand but he uses what ever it throws at him to grow and you’ll see for yourself in the videos just how he has developed as he has gone through the Modern Meditation programme. |
| Jason is a personal fitness trainer and is finding that the body is the perfect portal to thoughtlessness; he is developing a new and holistic approach to his fitness training, teaching people how to use fitness training as a meditation by connecting through the body. All round health - mental, physical and spiritual – now that’s personal training. |
| We are so grateful for Jason’s contribution to the filming for this website and in our broader work; he has become a firm friend and very much part of the Modern Meditation family. Thanks Jay, you’re a shining example for everyone. |
| If you are interested in finding out more about Jason’s holistic approach to personal training please e-mail info@modernmeditation.net for more information. |
