Owen works within Dr Ainslie Meares' blueprint and brings in complementary approaches where appropriate. The term Meditative Touch Therapy describes a range of methods that facilitate deeply relaxing meditative experience and include hands off and hands on touch.
Many Stillness Meditation teacher are unaware that Dr Meares sometimes facilitated Stillness Meditation with a single meditator lying down on a medical examination or massage table. This approach has various advantages over the use of the upright postures the meditator adopted in Dr Meares' classes and can lead to a very deep relaxing meditative experience (Ref 1). However, the facilitator must be very experienced in the use of the supine position. Owen is uniquely qualified to offer Supine Stillness Meditation Touch Therapy.
