About Me 🌱
I’m Promise, a former Buddhist monk turned meditation and wellness coach.
When I was sixteen, I experienced psychosis, and it was hell 😔 I asked my psychiatrist, “How can I take better care of myself?” and was met with silence — no solution. I then saw two psychotherapists who had me ruminate out loud about my suffering while they scribbled I-dunno-what on their notebooks. I found that useless, and decided to take my mental health in my own hands.
I began to exercise. I found out about the mindfulness teachings of Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh, and at age nineteen I decided to become a Buddhist monk.
In my sixteen years as a monk, I dug roots deep in the Buddha’s Teachings, studied Recent Research in neuroscience, lifestyle medicine, and positive psychology, and Experimented with countless wellness practices. This unique combination of timeless practices, modern science, and personal experiments helped me sift out signal from noise, fact from fiction, and find Wellness Practices That Actually Work ✨
As a monk, I created Two Wellness Programs that distill The Best Of What I Know.
Two Wellness Programs You’ll Be Learning About 🚀
1️⃣ The Daily Wellness Empowerment Program (DWEP)
A comprehensive program for mental and physical health, the DWEP will help you work your way up to a basic level of happiness and flourishing — for life. All of its practices are,
✔️ Do-it-yourself,
✔️ Simple,
✔️ Free,
✔️ Backed up by science, and,
✔️ Holistically effective.
➡️ Download the DWEP App or print a DWEP Sheet to get started.
2️⃣ Central Story Training (CST)
A safe and effective meditation system for the modern mind, CST will help you familiarize yourself with ever deeper levels of well-being — some of which you never imagined possible.
➡️ Check out my CST Guide to learn more.
