Meditation Workshop by Talwinder Sidhu, Nelson International Mural Festival 2023, BC Canada

I believe meditation should be fun, easy, and practical to be effective in a world constantly bidding for your attention.

I’m Talwinder Sidhu, a Meditation Teacher and the author of two #1 meditation bestsellers: Meditate: Breathe into Meditation and Awaken Your Potential and The Meditation Kit: A Beginner's Guide to Items for a Safe Space. I teach meditation through private lessons, group classes, seminars, and retreats, reaching thousands across the globe through online courses and social media. My work also extends to teaching children how to meditate, which led me to develop specialised meditation techniques for people with neurodiverse abilities, such as those with ADHD and autism.

My Journey

My meditation journey began when I was 9 years old, in response to feeling insecure, anxious, and unwelcome in an environment that was unkind to anyone with non-conforming expressions. Overwhelmed by life's challenges, my mother introduced me to meditation as a way to manage my daily mental health struggles. The Sikh community I grew up in taught me the importance of seeking truth to centre myself and live life with integrity.

Over the years—I'm 36 now—I have delved into Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophies, explored the major religions from Christianity to Islam, studied human behaviour from psychology to marketing, and even dipped into the world of psychedelics and spirit plant medicines in pursuit of truth and enlightenment.

Teaching Philosophy

My conclusion? Life is yours to create of your own free will. However, only by embracing your own inner truth will you begin to recognize and decipher the nature of Truth itself. I developed an approach to meditation that grants you the freedom to think and feel while empowering you to detach and silence the mind from anything that does not serve or enlighten you. I call this practice Truth-Seeking meditation.

My Approach

Despite countless studies proving the effectiveness of meditation and mindfulness, many people still struggle to develop a daily practice. A recent study identified four main barriers to meditation. I focus on breaking down these barriers, making your meditation practice as natural to you and your routine as brushing your teeth:

Barrier 1: You don't see how it can help you. I teach the mechanics of meditation in a practical and logical format, so even the most skeptical minds can understand how it works and what they're meant to be doing.
Barrier 2: You feel you don't know enough about it. I provide an introduction to meditation to help you understand what it truly means, beyond the misconceptions caused by colonisation and cultural appropriation.
Barrier 3: You think it's too hard to fit into your daily life. You can start with just one conscious breath a day. Try it now: slowly inhale and exhale through your nose. This simple act can pave the way for a more extensive practice.
Barrier 4: You feel it doesn't match your culture or social norms. Meditation is how you tune into the frequency of truth, a safe space where you can be completely yourself and discover who you are, free from societal pressures or expectations.
