MAITREYI PRAJNA

The Ways of Knowing the Mind are the major teachings of Buddha,

also known Buddhist Psychology or the Abdhidhamma.    

​

The practice of Buddhist Psychology starts with building awareness through meditation. Awareness and meditation are approaches towards knowing your own mind.

​

A Buddhist Psychotherapist can help develop in this approach and journey.

​

Suffering or discomfort that something is not quite working well in our lives or the wish to feel better, is what brings most  people to therapy in the first place. 

 

How do we deal with suffering in the path of life? How do we harness the impetus to change our lives for the better?  What will our relationship be to both our suffering and evolving path in life?  What would it mean to live life in a meaningful way, the way you want to live it?

​

The Contemplative Psychotherapist will meet you as you are and witness the clouds and features of the weather passing though amidst the backdrop of the clear blue sky, your true nature.   Together we will invite ways to develop the capability "to be with" and notice information and the transformative nature from all the layers of your being: physical (somatic)-mental-emotional-impulse-and spiritual. 

​

Traversing from microcosm to macrocosm of self, zooming in and zooming out for the bigger picture.  The experience of Buddhist Psychology recognizes that we are inseparable from relationship with all creation, the nature of our environment and human nature.

​

In a contemplative therapy session you may also notice the opportunity to become at ease with experiences of awareness, gaps, space and groundlessness.  All human experiences and expressions even those such as grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss, death and dying are welcome here.
