🧘 Meditation Evaluation
InnerMap Evaluation + Complimentary Session: Free assessment to understand your meditative architecture before you practice.
This evaluation reveals how your nervous system, attention style, and life circumstances interact with different meditation approaches; so, we can match technique to your actual system.
How it works:
1. Complete the InnerMap evaluation (10-15 minutes)
Questions about your meditation history, what brings you to practice, how your attention naturally moves, your relationship to thoughts and body, and what gets in the way of consistency.
2. I review your responses personally
I read what you wrote and map your meditative architecture (how your system nervous naturally works).
3. We meet via Zoom (complimentary, 30-45 minutes)
We discuss what your responses reveal about which approaches serve your system. I explain why certain methods will work with your architecture while others require more effort.
This is for you if:
✦ You're new to meditation and want an approach that fits your system
✦ You've tried apps or self-guided practice and it didn't stick
✦ You're experienced but plateaued
✦ You're inconsistent and want to understand what's blocking you
✦ You sense there's something deeper available
What you'll leave with:
✦ Clear understanding of your meditative architecture
✦ Insight into why past attempts worked or didn't
✦ Recommendations for approaches that match your system
✦ Your next steps
This evaluation offers clarity about your practice and reveals whether we're a fit to work together. Either way, you'll leave knowing your path forward.
