Meditation Teacher Training
Certification Program
The Nationally Acclaimed Meditation Specialist
Program for Teaching Evidence-based Practices
Dear Aspiring Teacher,
It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the opening of enrollment of our nationally acclaimed meditation teacher training certification for a limited number of participants that are interested in learning meditation and its practices.
We have specially created a high quality certification program that has wide application and maintains both evidence-based science and traditional practices. Participants will learn and deepen their own meditation practices and train and prepare to skillfully teach and serve others.
This nationally acclaimed certification program through the the Center for Meditation Science has been taught to thousands of health care providers over the last decade. It is the result of the greater need in our world for more qualified skilled meditation teachers and the growing popularity of mindfulness and meditation. We are now opening invitations to all those interested in learning the art and science of meditation with or without having a health care license.
Science Meets Practice
While many practitioners may offer meditation, very few create programs that are firmly grounded in science and practice. Susan’s comprehensive nationally acclaimed focused awareness meditation teacher training, delivers evidence-based practices for a complete meditation training.
You can take the training and apply the practices for personal use, and if you are inspired to do so, take your practice to the next level and complete your certification.
Uplift your energy because the energy of the mind is the essence of life. ~ Susan Taylor, PhD.
Benefits
By joining the teacher training program to become a certified meditation teacher, you will:
- Experience the fundamental steps in the foundation course for a complete meditation practice combining mindfulness and concentration to be able to teach.
- Explain how the science coupled with the practices serves to build a solid foundation for a sustainable meditation practice.
- Receive professional mentoring (individual and group) offered throughout the training by the founder and her staff of board certified meditation specialists.
- Use the application of focused awareness meditation to build personal and professional relationships, relapse recovery programs, mental health programs and community contribution.
- Have a powerful way to deepen your personal practice and integrate complementary therapies to your teaching.
Successful Outcome
This has been an extraordinary training and experience with over 15 years of success. By doing your own meditation work you are able to serve others and ultimately shift the consciousness of humanity in the direction of freedom and fulfillment. This program is secular and open and welcoming to people of all levels of experience, religious, racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds, as well as sexual orientations and gender identities.
Upon successful completion of the entire program you will be Board Certified as a Meditation Specialist. Because of the high standards of this program we will be offering Continuing Education hours.
I am here to give you the most complete possible delivery and therefore, I have designed the course to be self-paced with live online meetings and the option to study privately with me. We have found that the ultimate transference of learning takes place with human contact and we found that students who did not have contact with the founder and others in the community, did not thrive when finished.
I look forward to seeing you in the certification program.
In service,
Susan Taylor, PhD.
Your Teacher: Susan Taylor, PhD.
Susan Taylor was fortunate early on in life to have been trained in a tradition rooted in self-knowledge and self-discovery. After decades of western study, including the rigorous discipline to earn a masters and PhD in science she decided to continue with her early studies and traveled throughout India and Tibet while continuing to write and teach over the next three decades. As a trained scientist and meditation practitioner, her focus continues to be on the vital connection between mind, medicine and healing – bridging the gap between evidence-based science and the healing practices of the Himalayan masters. This healing methodology defines her personal journey, “Where Science Meets Practice” and serves as the foundation for Focused Awareness Meditation.
How is the program organized?
This comprehensive program consists of 3 steps that are designed to be self-paced. The Foundation Course is where you start to learn the science behind the practice. This is followed by the Teaching Method Course to give the practices that support the science. The final course is for you to work with Susan directly and prepare for Board Certification.

Blended Learning
Following the ancient traditions, knowledge is passed down from teacher to student via the oral tradition.

During the self paced program you will engage in:
- Didactic Teaching Method
- Guided Meditations
- Online community for Discussions
- Online Course for Self-Paced learning
- Conference Calls
- Mentorship Program
- Practice Sessions
- Live sessions with Dr. Susan Taylor
