I’m a certified Unified Mindfulness coach which is a system developed by Shinzen Young (read the Science of Enlightenment). My coaching employs the techniques developed and taught by Shinzen colored with my own experience of over 25 years of meditation practice.
COBA represents my personal mantra that a mind maintaining a Calm, Open, Bold and Alert state brings forth your most exciting self (and there’s no hangover). It’s like hanging out in the moment right before you have an amazing idea and just grooving on it.
Mindfulness is not about silent meditation in quiet space…it’s ALSO about the party, the festival, the trade show, the all-hands call, the parent-teach conference…the thrumming buzz of souls gathered in various forms.
In other words, this is not a practice reserved for a meditation cushion (although I love that too) but for getting off your ass and into the kitchen, the conference call or the concert hall! Wherever you find yourself, with UM your COBA mind is always your best look.
