Meditation is a big word and is defined as any practice that brings about some benefit to the mind of the practitioner. There are so many different kinds of meditation practices and teachers out there...this course will focus on the simple and essential to make sure that meditation is a helpful practice in your life.

I will use my fifteen years of experience meditating through happy times and bad times to teach you everything important about meditation. I have meditated through cancer, depression, ocd, and autoimmune disease. I am confident I can help you meditate according to your own uniqueness.

There is much more to the practice of meditation than simply learning to sit quietly. While many meditation courses focus almost entirely on relaxation, there is much more to the world of meditation and we will explore some of that here.

Meditation indeed does reduce stress and improve our lives but what are the mechanisms behind that? How do we ensure we are meditating properly? Is there a specific posture or secret that makes meditation effective for everyone?

Many meditation courses only provide information from one lineage or one tradition, such as mindfulness. Here, we will work to integrate all traditions of spirituality to find out what is essentially needed for an effective meditation practice.

A meditative mind creates a joyful, happy and free life.

Testimonials:

"I’ve lived with crippling anxiety ever since I can remember. This all consuming feeling in me, that I never fully understood, would affect my self confidence, my performance at school, my relationships, career and so much more. It’s created a lot of depression and frustration with myself that has made me ask myself over and over again, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I feel normal?” This harsh self judgement became something that grew even worse when I would seek help and these thoughts were reinforced in me by healthcare professionals. I had one counsellor ask me, “Why are you so depressed when you’re such a pretty girl?” or an acupuncturist tell me, “You’d be a really cool person if you just chilled out.” As if I WANT to feel or be like this, or don’t have the right to what I’m feeling. Over and over again the belief was instilled in me that anxiety is just not alright and I really beat myself up for struggling with it for years and years.

This year I hit a huge breaking point, that almost cost me my job and took a huge hit to my health. A worried friend in the health profession suggested I see Larry at Action Compassion. I have to say, the last four weeks have been life changing.

The name Action Compassion really rings true to the work, because very few have given me as much compassion and understanding for my feelings and struggles the way Larry has. I’ve been made to feel as though my anxiety is neither good or bad, it just is. Because of this, I no longer judge myself for it. It's something we can work on together and that will make me so much stronger as a person. I no longer feel alone or shame the way I used to and have been given so many tools and personal support. Larry is a truly beautiful and inspiring person who has given me so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you Larry for being you. I feel so much stronger and have a clear vision of my journey now. I look forward to this journey together."

"I vividly remember the very first moment I met Larry Li. He's the real deal. Raw, walking truth and love. A rare soul. When he first told me of his energy and meditation service, I immediately knew I wanted to work with him. His guidance and insights have been invaluable to me and my business vision. If you're on a path to find your truth and peace of heart, I highly, highly, highly recommend Larry and his unique, powerful service."

About Me

I am 33 years old, born in Taiwan, immigrated to Canada, and have been practising the healing arts for the past fourteen years. As a teacher I value greatly your time and energy so I ask myself often, how can I best serve my students?

I have meditated through anxiety, OCD, depression, suicidal periods, rage from family abuse, weird chronic disease, cancer...I can confidently say it is true when Ayurveda says "Meditation is the first and last medicine" and I want to share the joyful insights from my journey with you. There is a light and lesson in everything we go through. Even our most difficult periods of suffering are sacred.

I have studied with meditation masters in Taiwan, Canada, USA, Indonesia, and Germany. I have also completed many meditation curriculums in USA and Canada to see how the west has presented meditation as well.

I have been teaching meditation for fourteen years and truly it is an amazing journey to see how each student uniquely finds his or her own peace and centre.

I have two masters that I keep in touch with on a yearly basis. Dr. Tang is from a Tibetan Buddhist Healing Lineage practising in USA and the Master Chen is a teacher of Taoism and Energy Healing based out of Taiwan. Out of all the teachings Ihave received I find theirs to be the most balanced and clinical, ready to be integrated into modern society. I have practised their teachings in earnest ever since they saved my life from Lung Cancer at age 24.

Meditation is unique for everyone and your personal conditions need to be considered. Despite this what are the essentials of practice I can confidently share with you my

I can speak meditation to you in whatever context you wish. There is a way inward whether we use emotions, logic, energy, or some form of faith. I teach meditation while respecting your individuality.
