About meditationSHIFT:
SHORT VERSION:
We've been teaching mindfulness and meditation for almost 20 years.
Since 2003,
We released "The T.A.D. Principle" over 15 years ago, and it has since evolved into meditationSHIFT and "An owner's guide to the mind." Click here to learn more.
We released "ARC: mindfulness for children" in 2015. Click here to learn more.
We released our newest work - "Path to realization" - at the end of 2018. Click here to learn more.
LONGER VERSION:
"The T.A.D. Principle" and meditationSHIFT were created by Jon. Chelsea runs the day-to-day operations (with help from a few others). We refer to Chelsea as the C.M.O. (Chief Mindfulness Officer).
Our mission is to help people around the world better understand and overcome the problems created by their compulsive minds.
You can talk to us directly via email, arrange a chat with us on Skype, and follow us on social media (people like viewing our photos - but they probably enjoy seeing the animals more than us). We write, teach, speak, and enjoy helping others.

Below you will find a detailed accounting of our history over the past 15 years, as well as information on how to connect with us.
HISTORY AND EVOLUTION:
"The T.A.D. Principle" was released almost 15 years ago, right after the turn of the millennium. The acronym "T.A.D." (now referred to simply as "tad") stands for:
> thoughts
> actions
> destiny
It included the meditationSHIFT supplement, but "tad" was more of a treatise on how to shape your life by addressing your thoughts and your actions.
Over the years, however, our philosophy and practices evolved.
We realized that the self-improvement industry provided resources that treated the symptoms that came with unhappiness, rather than addressing cause of unhappiness itself ("forced" positive thinking is the most prevalent self-help method - and, like most of the others, it simply doesn't work).
We took a different approach - our focus was on addressing the root cause, and providing a lasting solution.
By understanding your mind, the problems it creates in your life, and how to overcome them, you can find (or, more accurately, reveal) happiness, peace, and contentment. You learn to strengthen awareness (cultivate mindfulness), and break the cycle of blindly following the non-stop activity (thoughts, feelings, emotions, urges, et cetera) your mind produces.

meditationSHIFT represents the totality of our research, experience, writing, and teaching - from the concepts of "tad," to mindfulness and meditation...and everything in between.
Mindfulness, meditation, and insights for over a decade.
We have been talked about on numerous websites and media outlets. But, the people who have actually implemented what they learned from meditationSHIFT offer the best feedback on its effectiveness. Read testimonials on this site, and elsewhere around the Internet.
We write a lot, and our articles are featured here on our own site, on Medium, on Everyday-Mindfulness, and on other websites around the Internet. Find it all here - Words: an index of articles from meditationSHIFT.

Address the root cause.
"An owner's guide to the mind" is an exploration of your compulsive mind, and how to end the struggles it creates in your life. "Path to realization" is an exploration of who you really are - and, equally important, who you aren't.
