During Matthew’s seven years as a monk, ending in 1986, he came to recognise the lack of relevance that traditional meditation had in real life. He set out to demystify meditation whilst maintaining, enhancing and exposing its massive benefits, otherwise generally unachievable through any other act of life. He has made it widely accessible and real to any person, and free of all spiritual or religious attachments, set techniques or fanciful goals.
It took a further 10 years or so from running a busy natural healing clinic, and hundreds of meditation courses and retreats, for Matthew to be satisfied that what he had discovered and developed actually worked for everyone.
Over the following two decades, he observed, in many hundreds of people using this approach, a dramatic decrease in the physical breakdown of their bodies that would normally lead to poor health or illness. The escalation of internal reactions that commonly lead to mental or stress-based breakdowns was also no longer occurring in their lives.
What he had discovered and understood was to become the most effective, direct and no-nonsense approach to meditation in existence today…that we know of.
