Take this Amazing Journey Now
Do you struggle to find inner peace? Do you have anxious thoughts, cravings, or a critical inner voice that beats you up? STORY – When I first learned to meditate twenty years ago, I was in a rehab centre, and could not take a breath without thoughts of shame and self-hatred. I could not stop the racing thoughts and cravings at all. Over the years, I studied and practised and I learned how to still the mind and relate to thoughts differently. These skills and tools have saved me from relapse and saved my life, improved my self-esteem, and removed cravings, anxiety, and self-obsession completely. Transforming the mind has transformed my life, as we experience everything through the mind. If I can do it so can you, even if you believe that you can’t meditate because your mind is special and different!

Recovery Coach and Awakening Guide

Nicolas Croll

Nic has been through the hells of addictions and found a way out, and has a passion for passing on what he learned on the way. He has practised and taught Buddhist meditation, shamanism, tantra and taoism, and facilitated various types of recovery groups and worked individually with many people in recovery. He has spent well over a year on intensive retreats, and many hours in meditation every day. He has read thousands of spiritual, psychological and self-help books, and the fruits of all this research and practice will be found in these courses. He went through an awakening experience in 2017, and wishes to communicate and share this liberation with as many people as possible. He worked for a buddhist organisation for fifteen years, and has been involved with communicating the dharma for nearly as long. In these courses are to be found all the tips and knowledge he has acquired, in an easy to follow and easy to learn format. These courses are designed to solve many of the problems we face in recovery. He is also a trained healer and coach, a music producer and a writer, and works in the field of mental health and addiction in Bristol in the UK.

Change Your Mind, Change Your World

What I am passing on to you could save your life, and will definitely improve your quality of life. Almost all of our suffering is created in the mind, and we can become free from suffering. If your own mind is causing you pain, anxiety and distress, these tools are tried and tested for millennia and have led millions to freedom. They worked for me, and all I want to do is to pass on the precious blessings that meditation and liberation have given me, in a way that will save you the years of struggle I had to spend to learn what I now know. What I am offering you in these courses, are the fruits of two decades of study and practice, distilled into easy to follow lessons which begin at the beginning and end with awakening and liberation.
