Socially-emotionally conditioned mindset

An in-depth look at the subconscious mind, its contents and how it operates in shaping our mindsets
How our conscious and subconscious minds respond to attempts to influence us by our parents, family and various authority figures and in our peer groups, and our ability or inability to fulfil Maslow’s three basic psychological needs – security, relationship/belongingness, self-esteem
Identifying the forces that maintain and reinforce our socially-emotionally conditioned mindset, even when the results that issue from the mindset are not those we desire
How Effortless Meditation (and other techniques) can dissolve the forces that hold the self-limiting aspects of our conditioned self mindset intact



The Defending-Avoiding Treadmill Cycle

The role of both pleasant and unpleasant emotions in shaping our socially-emotionally conditioned mindset
How we learned to respond to unpleasant, uncomfortable emotions, and how we learned to react to the people and events that triggered these emotions
An exploration into the process by which the subconscious mind projects on to others what we subjectively see as the “causes” of our uncomfortable, unpleasant emotions
Identifying the cyclical structure of emotional reactions and self-limiting behaviour that emerges from this process of projection.
Through Effortless Meditation (and other techniques), learning a method to systematically access, “objectify” and dissolve the internal subjective mental/emotional belief systems that maintain and reinforce these habits of generalisation, projection and behavioural reactions



Adult Developmental Levels

Understanding the three psychological stages of developmental that we have the potential to grow through as adults: The “Individuated Self” level, the “Transpersonal Self” level, and the “Unitive Self” level
Identifying the specific types of internal changes in our consciousness, motivation and character structure, and external changes in our behaviour and the outcomes we seek, that occur when we are growing through each adult developmental level
Discovering how each adult developmental level allows us to express ourselves more fully

Nikki Janks

Nikki is the Co-Founder of Centred Meditation. It was while studying Psychology at University when she experienced first hand the visceral effects of stress on her mind and body: constant anxiety, muscle spasms, digestive issues and the list goes on. She stumbled upon Effortless Meditation online and thought it sounded too good to be true! After learning the technique in 2010 she was pleasantly shocked by its immediate effects on all aspects of her life.

Nikki has since spent time in India learning from different meditation masters and Gurus, directed a non-profit organisation, trained as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and travelled around the world organising, undertaking, and facilitating personal development and leadership programmes.

Nikki is one of the lead instructors of our Teacher Training Courses, Retreats, and Meditation Programs. Her life’s purpose is to empower people to be inspired by their own true greatness and freed up to share it with the world.

Paul Lam-Po-Tang

Paul worked as a corporate lawyer for 26 years, including 8 years as a company secretary. He started meditating several years ago to help manage the stresses that came with his corporate life. Since then, he has experienced the profound impact of meditation in all aspects of his life. He has trained as a meditation teacher through Centred Meditation and as a yoga teacher through Sukha Mukha Yoga. He recently graduated from the inaugural Inner Growth Coaching Program through Centred Meditation.

As an inner growth coach, Paul seeks to guide clients as they explore their ways of thinking and the emotional forces that drive their interactions with the world around them and that colour their responses to life experiences large and small. He nurtures the personal growth of his clients as they work towards their individual goals.

Kevin Janks

Megan Ross

Starting out as a Lomi Lomi massage therapist, she felt there was a greater depth of healing accessible through the medium of meditation, both for the therapist and the client. This led her to becoming trained as a Meditation Teacher through Centred Meditation, and subsequently, an Inner Growth Coach. Megan has loved taking her own inner growth journey and is excited to help others navigate their way to awakening a new relationship with themselves and the world around them. Megan loves teaching Effortless Meditation for it’s ease, simplicity, and instant benefits.

Having tried many different styles of meditation previously, when Amanda came across Effortless Meditation she preferred it for its grace and simplicity. In her efforts to make the world a calmer and more compassionate place for everyone, Amanda has completed the Centred Meditation Teacher Training programs to assist her in helping people to understand how to manage the effects of stress on their body. She is now facilitating meditation in her workplace and from home.

PROGRAM REVIEWS (CENTRED SELF IS THE NEW VERSION OF CENTRED EDGE)

I would highly recommend the Centred Self Program! Nikki and Walter have a unique approach and in only six weeks, I truly feel transformed – it’s incredible! Nikki and Walter create such a supportive and friendly environment that allows for personal growth and the opportunity to share with and learn from others. I now feel much more equipped to deal with the challenges life throws at me and feel positive that I can overcome them! The sessions were very practical too, and now I have loads of tools and techniques I can use, which are making a big difference. It has truly been a life changing experience – I can’t recommend more highly!

Aria

I found the Centred Edge program to be very insightful and very well designed, and delivered in such away that incorporated personal experiences and humour which made it really relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed attending every Tuesday which quickly evolved into ‘my day’ where I took some time for myself and some much needed introspection.

Walter, Kevin & Nikki, make a remarkable team, so passionate about their work and so approachable and supportive throughout the program – a truly inspiring six weeks which has given me a great foundation for further personal growth and development.

Lorraine

Wealth Management

The Centred Edge Program is a meaningful next step beyond guided meditation. The sessions introduce new meditative techniques to increase our transition through different levels of our Adult Development. I found the sessions to be especially helpful in understanding and mastering my own stress cycle through non-judgmental self-awareness and techniques for enhancing the level of Intellectual and emotional Compassion in my personal and business life. Walter, Kevin, and Nikki are quite helpful in bringing the session’s lessons to life through real-life examples and the quality of their facilitations.

Michael

I was excited to be doing something for ‘me’ and my personal development. The course is a unique format and I enjoyed contemplating the philosophical concepts each week, as well as getting more involved with meditation at home. It is clear that you are very passionate about helping others realise their full potential and like all your services, this course was delivered very professionally.

Liz

I had been attending Centred Meditation regularly for 2.5 years before I took part in the Centred Edge program. It was one of the most rewarding things I have done in my life to date. If you want to learn practical tips on how to stop placing limits on yourself, how to better connect with people and improve your overall wellbeing all wrapped up with improved meditation then I strongly recommend doing this program!

Damien

Marketing

I was looking for a way to get more regular with meditation and the Centred Edge program gave me several methods to make it a habit – it really answered the question for me of why do we meditate? My mind was blown by all the research and self-improvement awaiting me. My relationships have also all improved and I find myself being more compassionate towards total strangers, understanding and embracing situations through their eyes. This program has definitely changed the direction of my life!

Xander

Media

I signed up to Centred edge having not meditated before, but having heard of the benefits, I figured it’d be a great place to start.

The programme gave me a new found awareness and fascination for the mind. It enables you to understand your thought patterns and behaviours, and you will come out on track to higher levels of empathy and emotional understanding for those around you.

Whether you’re stressed out and run down from the demands of work, or if you’re just seeking more clarity and focus in any area of your life centred edge is for you! I couldn’t recommend Walter and the Centred Meditation team more.

George

Recruitment

What I found most beneficial from the Centred Edge programme was how practical it was. I’d been meditating for a while, and had seen some benefit, but I’d reached a point where I felt stuck. Applying the simple, very practical techniques presented to us in the programme took me to a whole new level, first by showing me how my mind functioned at a subconscious level (at times in unhelpful ways), and then by giving me tools to apply that have made a real difference in my daily life. I strongly encourage anyone considering taking the course to have a go, you won’t regret it!

Samuel

Teacher

I signed up to the Centered Edge program after starting to explore effortless meditation. I wanted to somehow start the process of understanding my life patterns to be able to consciously drive what’s possible and be at peace with what isn’t. I was initially anxious about exploring this with a group of people but was quickly surprised by the relief of being in the company of people who also wanted this, who you can learn from and who also have similarities in approach, i.e you are not alone in how you think. It also keeps you accountable in goals you have set for yourself.

Nikki and Walter were so knowledgeable and patient and I learnt a lot more than I expected. After the 6 weeks I feel clearer about what I want to work on and also how to actually do that. I recommend this to everyone, especially those who can sometimes feel like a passenger in their own life.
