the process
What is co-meditation?
Co-meditation involves connecting with your heart’s deepest desire and navigating through the discomfort in your body in order to receive ease. With presence, prompts and guidance, the trained facilitator will support you in reducing or releasing long term nervous system charge being held in the body. From here you will be guided to a process that will help you uncover the support you need to offer yourself through committed action.
How does co-meditation work?
A typical session lasts 60 minutes. You may begin with a goal in mind or just an openness to explore. I will guide you through co-meditation processes that help you find clarity and clear action going forward. This can be an in person or a zoom session.
Is there a scientific basis to co-meditation?
Yes, absolutely. When we are triggered, our limbic system (part of our brain involved in behavioural and emotional responses) takes over and our prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain used for logical thinking) goes offline. This may lead to us reacting in ways we regret later.
As part of the limbic system response, we feel all kinds of physical biofeedback such as a churning stomach, a hot flush, tense muscles, or shakiness from pumping adrenalin. What we often do is ignore these or mute them with distraction, medication, and more. These remain unprocessed and are held as a charge in the nervous system. We cope with situations or bypass them through forced positive thinking or ignoring or “keeping busy”.
Through the co-meditation processes, we facilitate the nervous system to release this built-up charge, this overwhelm. This allows us to rewire our system and brain responses to meet familiar triggers in radically new ways.
How do I know if co-meditation is right for me?
If you are doing your best, perhaps even thinking positively but are feeling fatigued and drained, co-meditation can help you. If you have chronic pain, tightness in the shoulders, neck and chest, regular headaches, inconsistent appetite, insomnia, anxiety, your body is giving you clear bio-feedback that it is not at ease.
In co-meditation we meet the body where it is, thus slowly meeting ourselves with honesty and presence. Co-meditation can be an excellent addition along with whatever you may be doing i.e diet, exercise, therapy and medication.
What is unique about this process?
This is not a prescription based method, where I tell you what to do, or look into your future to divine anything or clear your energy. I facilitate you to uncover the answers within you by helping you navigate the discomfort that may be holding you back. It’s practical and profound.
How is co-meditation different from meditation?
During a silent meditation, you may find you are completely distracted in your mind, pinged by thought after thought.
Guided meditations may be relaxing but are often theme based, so you are listening with a goal, listening to the audio guide, not really to your own body and its score. Often meditation is used as an escape from reality, a space of solace.
Real change comes from being with what is and navigating the discomfort into clarity. In co-meditation, you are listening to you, feeling your body, with succinct prompts from a trained facilitator.
How many sessions of co-meditation will I need?
It is recommended to do 1-3 sessions to begin with. Some people take to it like a fish in water and some take some time. The more non-negotiable your happiness is to you, the more you are willing to commit to yourself and trust the process, the more you will receive.
How you feel in your body afterwards would be a good guide to assess your readiness for this. If you decide this is for you, discuss your goals with your trained facilitator to decide the course of action.

“I was brought to my knees literally, tears, screams, joy, laughter all combined into a perfect elixir that transformed the many shadows within myself that simply wanted to be acknowledged and released.

“without judgment”
“I reached a point where enough was enough. Living to get through the day became exhausting and I knew something needed to be done. I saw Mirabelle for co-meditation to work through some of that weight I felt in my life – not knowing what to expect – and boy, did we go for a ride.With her guidance, soothing voice, and safe environment, we went through a journey into some core memories that have directed much of my life- without judgement. From here, I have been able to make adjustments and tap back into my being. I feel so grateful.”
