About Sandy Orkin
and the Meditation Tree

The Meditation Tree’s approach to teaching of Mindfulness Meditation, although rooted both in Buddhist and Taoist teachings, also incorporates both the neuroscientific research and the psychological findings that support the overall effectiveness of a Mindfulness Meditation Practice. Since the late 70’s, Western culture has adopted a more relative and contemporary term, “Mindfulness” to describe the Ancient Eastern Practice of Vipassana Meditation. Regardless of how it is labeled, the practice is secular in nature and the mental, physical and spiritual effects are not in conflict with one’s religious beliefs. In the past 10-20 years, as we have learned more about the human brain, Neuro-Scientific findings now supports evidence that a daily practice of Mindfulness not only creates healthier brain functioning, but can change physical and emotional conditions reflected in ones’ negative reactions to our thoughts.

A terrific class, highly recommended.”

I encourage anyone who is looking to quiet their “monkey brain” and lower their overall levels of anxiety and stress to give yourself the gift of Sandy’s class. You will not regret it.”

    — John Heffron
