M Sean Symonds (michael) is a facilitator and self-published author of A Path of Relationship, 1998, and soon to be published Zen Shredding, 2008. Both books are about Personal Growth and Spirituality. His training includes Polarity Therapy/counseling [1989], and Rebirthing [1991]. Most recently [2001], he became a certified Primordial Sound Meditation instructor with Deepak Chopra/Chopra Centre.

Maintaining a private practice since 1989, Michael facilitates one-on-one and group explorations in personal growth, healing and consciousness. Michael has studied with renowned teachers Dr. Deepak Chopra of the Chopra Centre for Wellbeing and Leonard Orr, founder of the Rebirthing/Conscious Breathing movement. His present studies continue in the area of creativity and teaching based on the work of Deepak Chopra, more recent studies focus on the work of Steven Wolinsky and the late sage and seer Nisargadatta Maharaj.

In his work Michael invites us to see beyond the concepts of cultural, religious or moral conditioning, encouraging us to ground ourselves in the nature of our true Spirit and Self, which lies beyond the colour of our skin, gender, sexual preference and body/mind.

In 2004, Michael moved from Vancouver to Whistler, B.C., Canada, realizing that he had found the perfect environment to deepen his personal meditation practice. He also became very clear about his intention to mentor others through his creativity, teaching, speaking and writing and his desire to elevate and ennoble the lives of others by inspiring them to nurture the wisdom of their own Souls...

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Michael Sean Symonds:

ON RELATIONSHIP...

The most important relationship you will have in life
is the relationship you have to your Self.

It is through the relationship you have with your Self
that you will create a relationship with life.

It is the level of intimacy you achieve with your Self
that will draw you into an intimate relationship with life,

and

it is through the internal growth and cultivation of your inner relationship
that you will find the inspiration, courage and success

to participate in all other relationships...
