Fetters Coaching & Happiness Redesign

Hey, i'm Michael! I've managed to use the Buddhist Fetters to reduce my day-to-day suffering levels by 90% and enjoy a baseline peace and contentment years ago i would have not imagined.

After dealing with 15 years of anxiety, ruminating and rarely enjoying the present moment, while working in intense start-ups & agency environments, amplifying it all, finding a path that worked to reliably reduce subjective suffering was almost a miracle.

Using the same Fetters model, I've supported dozens of individuals to reduce their suffering, across wide demographics - 11 different countries & cultures, younger and older, parents, spiritual seekers, tech workers & artists.

The practices are accesible for anyone, regardless of prior meditation experience. Direct pointing is done in plain, everyday consciousness. You can choose to sit and meditate or simply practice them while going around your day.

You also don't need to take up any spiritual beliefs, nor give up any tradition you're already part of.

The Fetters Model

Fetters can be used to gain insight into the working of your mind and subjective experience, starting from seeing through the seemingly Separate Self, into Oneness, Brahman and ultimately even through I AM-ness.

Progress in Fetters and correlation to Suffering Reduction

Your baseline wellbeing increases as more of the illusory beliefs are let go of, starting with an initial visible burst at the first 3, but accelerating especially with the breaking of Fetters 4 & 5 (Reactivity).

What folks say about working together

"Ever since I've started working with Michael, my progress on the path has catalyzed tremendously. His approach is straight forward and direct. His guidance is compassionate and humourous.
If you're looking to seriously reduce your suffering and drop perceptual filters, Michael is your guy. His no bull shit approach lends itself to practicing without getting lost in the spiritual sauce.
Michael's insight exercises and explanations of the fetters helped me advance with my other practices such as TWIM and Tantra as well."

Sheel P, USA (Tech Industry)

"I had very little meditation experience before and it was a breath of fresh air to do fetterwork with Michael's exercises + guidance. Although the path is simple, it’s easy to divert yourself and focus on irrelevant things.
This is why regularly talking with Michael and asking about things helped me break the first 3 fetters much faster.
He was attentive and kept me on the path where I could progress without much diversions, I would recommend working with him to anyone who is intent on doing Fetterwork."

D., Turkey (Tech Industry)

"Working with Michael has been nothing but a gift.
Truly, he brings a compassionate, generous, and loving sense of attention to his students. He was instrumental in helping me break fetters 1-7."
