Amy Pattee Colvin first discovered compassion meditation and
qigong in the early-1990s. Within this meditation style, which
blends Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, she learned how to
integrate stillness with the natural movement of internal energy
(qi) as an effective method for transforming physical, mental, and
emotional challenges.
These tools and techniques helped her move through various life
challenges, including navigating difficult relationships, finding
peace amid the pressure of starting a home-based business, and
overcoming health challenges.
Looking for ways to share this type of meditation in a format that
harmonized with her facilitation style, Amy became a certified
teacher of Stanford University's Compassion Cultivation Training
(CCT). By combining her years of personal practice with the CCT
program elements, she shares her knowledge in a variety of
ways.
She leads international spiritual tours, which provide
opportunities to explore fascinating parts of the world. On these
tours, you’ll connect with the wisdom and energy of ancient sacred
sites and raw landscapes. You’ll also deepen your own connection
with your spiritual self. Her approach to spirituality is
non-denominational and universal rather than religious. No matter
the destination, each journey illuminates the idea that although
every human is unique, we are all united by a desire to live a
peaceful and joy-filled life.
Amy is also developing a new program called BodyMind Intellisense.
This program, a combination of self-study and group coaching,
teaches both qigong and compassion meditation with an emphasis on
offering interactive techniques and tools to help you cultivate
acceptance and compassion for yourself and others.
Amy is also the author of the Amazon Bestseller, "Cultivating
Compassion: Simple Everyday Practices for Discovering Peace of Mind
and Resilience," and is a popular teacher on the meditation app
Insight Timer.
