“

The genius of Tulku Urgyen was that he could point out the nature of mind with precision and matter-of-factness of teaching a person how to thread a needle and could get an ordinary meditator like me to recognize that consciousness is intrinsically free of self ... I came to Tulku Urgyen yearning for the experience of self-transcendence, and in a few minutes he showed me I had no self to transcend ... Tulku Urgyen simply handed me the ability to cut through the illusion of the self directly, even in ordinary states of consciousness.  This instruction was, without question, the most important thing I have ever been explicitly taught by another human being.  It has given me a way to escape the usual tides of psychological suffering - fear, anger, shame - in an instant.

In my 'consulting room' I have two big magazine style racks on the wall. Each rack has eleven compartments, and each compartment contains 10 to 20 different A4 sheets of questionnaires, information leaflets, Powerpoint miniatures, and other handouts (300 to 400 in all).  I've listed compartments on the left.  Click on the different headings to gain access to downloadable compartment contents.

I have also included background details for training courses that I run - see folders listed on the left.  One is "Autogenic relaxation training" which gives details, handouts & MP3 recordings of an eight session relaxation/meditation/mindfulness course.  I ran this course for many years.  It has now been incorporated into a longer, broader course - the twelve session "Life skills for stress, health & wellbeing".  Also of interest for a more purely mindfulness-focused training, see "Using Williams & Penman's book 'Mindfulness: a practical guide' as a self-help resource - overview of 10 supporting blog posts".  The other regular course I facilitate myself is on "Interpersonal group work" and the link on the left gives handouts and a session by session description of a typical "Opening up" group.
