Mindfulness
The Direct Path
Two Complementary Paths to Awakening
Mindfulness (Insight Meditation) focuses, quiets, and heals the mind and body by concentrating attention on objects such as the breath, other body sensations, emotions, sounds, etc. This reduces stress and reactivity, helps resolve trauma, and brings us into the present moment.
In the Direct Path we go directly to awareness, where experience is known. There is no attempt to quiet the mind, or focus on or change any aspect of our experience. By gradually letting go of doing and effort, we come to rest in pure awareness, peaceful and free.
Mindfulness and the Direct Path complement each other.
Both arise from the same truth and lead to the same awakening.
Johann’s group was one of the best experiences I have ever had. He is a skilled and caring teacher, and creates a wonderful community for learning meditation and dharma from the inside out.

Johann has a depth of kindness and wisdom presented clearly and at times with humor. Johann knows the pain we all share is difficult to open up to, but he told me what I would find is love, just love. He knew love was waiting for me, as it is all of us. I am so grateful to be on the direct path with acceptance and support; it has meant a new relationship to the world and myself.
