Fetters Coaching & Happiness Redesign
Hey, i'm Michael and guiding in the 10 Buddhist Fetters, mostly direct-pointing. Through working with them, i've reduced my moment-to-moment suffering levels by ~90%. Currently enjoying a much higher baseline contentment and peace, that the "me" years ago would have not expected it's available.
This changed tremendously after some 10-15 years of anxiety, depression bouts, ruminating and rarely enjoying the now moment. In case its your jam, I can thoroughly relate to working in intense workplaces, start-ups, agencies, which amplify the mental challenges, and finding a path that worked to reliably increase wellbeing was nothing short of a bit of a miracle.
It energizes me to guide in Fetters and have supported 40+ individuals in reducing their suffering, across wide demographics - 11 different countries & cultures, younger and older, parents, spiritual seekers, tech workers & artists.
The beauty of Fetters approach lies in its accessibility, disregarding if you're new to contemplative practices or an advanced meditator.
Direct pointing works with your natural awareness, and you can engage with it in whatever way serves you best - whether that's through sitting meditation or while going about your chores and responsibilities.
You don't need to take up any spiritual beliefs, nor give up any tradition you're already part of. It's about Seeing.
Working together
You dont NEED to work with me. The necessary materials to guide yourself through 10 Fetters are public here. Create your own adventure!
Here's why you should:
● you'll be kept accountable and supported when seeming "good sounding reasons" pop up to say you shouldnt keep going
● you'll make much faster progress by being shown how to apply the general practices to your personal situations
● we'll address both the self-inquiry aspect of the buddhist fetters and also choosing side practices for the cleaning up of your conditioning
● we'll find out what opportunities for wellbeing you're shying away from by giving into fears or conditioning, which could be keeping you stuck, wasting months going in circles
What others say about their transformation
"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."
