About

My name is Byron Laws. I teach people how to find the Stillness within them. Am I your teacher? Only you will know.

A Stillness Center is within each of us. Meditation is a method of directly contacting this Stillness. Regular meditation practice promotes the healthy release of stress, increasing vitality and self-awareness…creating a growing capacity to be effortless with oneself and others.

My story: I have been a long-time meditator. As my meditation practice deepened, I found myself meditating for hours each day. And while I was experiencing life-changing results in both my inner and outer experience, these long hours of practice were difficult to balance with real-life demands. There were simply not enough hours in the day.

For nearly 30 years I have worked in the corporate world, for companies located in India, providing services to scholarly publishers. This has allowed me to go to India frequently for both business and personal reasons. It was in India where I found my Path and did most of my training. I currently work as Senior Vice President of Business Development for TNQTech, a Lumina Datamatics company. My firm has multiple locations in India, while I work primarily from here in the US.

Through my teacher, Jonni Pollard, an Australian, I learned Vedic meditation, a technique that is practiced twice daily for 20 minutes per session. Vedic meditation (Veda = ‘the knowledge’) has a history dating back some 5,000 years. Unlike many spiritual teachings which require faith in things unseen, the Vedic tradition prescribes a internally-referenced, evidence-based research process by which we we look deeply into ourselves. The practical application of this approach is described as ‘experience first, knowledge second‘.

Regular meditation practice allows us to learn, develop and refine the skills necessary to become more professional human beings. In other words, our daily meditation practice becomes less about our ‘eyes closed’ inner experience and more focused on the quality and clarity of one’s experience in daily life with ‘eyes open’.

I completed my teacher training primarily in India and Australia (where Jonni’s teaching center is located). I’ve found that teaching others adds to my own knowledge and practice and is also highly rewarding as I witness rapid and life-changing growth in many of my students.

Five reasons to meditate:

To reduce stress and anxiety
To become more self-aware and fully present
To increase energy and vitality
To gain greater focus and clarity
To increase happiness and well-being

I currently teach a 3-day Learn to Meditate Course and a deeper dive 4-day Vedic Meditation Course. These courses are taught over three or four consecutive days respectively, in 90-minute sessions each day. Both courses are suitable for beginners as well as more experienced meditators. I have found that anyone can learn to meditate (yes, even those who say that they could never sit quietly with their eyes closed for even five minutes!).

Successful practice requires 20 minute sessions twice daily, at least 6-8 hours apart. The outcome of regular practice is that we quickly become more directly aware of our own existence in the present moment (our Being).

I also offer one-on-one personal coaching sessions. Please see the Pricing page for more information.

Even more info: Stillness Center is also a place. A purpose-built retreat center is being planned in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. The property is located just next to the Drala Mountain Center (formerly known as Shambhala Mountain Center, founded by Buddhist teacher Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who fled from Tibet to India with the Dalai Lama in the late 1950s).

Design renderings of the primary center building are below.

Please accept my personal invite to an intro session…details are provided on the Schedule page.

On the other hand, if you are not ready to come learn with me directly, I encourage you to try the FREE 1 Giant Mind app, available for both iPhone and Android. You may then decide to take the 3 or 4-day course later on to deepen the practice you’ve started within the app.

Sending each One of you reading this lots of love and my highest intention for your own personal growth and expansion of Consciousness.
