About Me
- Stress Meditation
- Ross and his wife live in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, Ontario, Canada. They have two adult children. Ross who now works at the University of Guelph, in 1995 on the advice of his doctor resigned from a career which he had enjoyed for the over 25 years. This came as a result of struggling with many lengthy family illnesses, increased work loads and a physical injury. Sensing that there were better ways to manage these stressors, he began doing yoga and practicing meditation. After attending a weekend insight meditation retreat and experiencing his energy being restored for the next six weeks, he knew that insight meditation was helpful in managing stress. Later,he traveled to a Buddhist retreat centre in Sri Lanka where he was trained by a nun to teach meditation to others. He then returned to Canada and has freely offered support those who are interested in developing meditation skills. He has also examined the scientific approach to understanding stress on the body, heart and mind. His intention is to find simple yet powerful ways of reducing harmful stress, through a blend of western science, eastern philosophy and personal experience.
