About Author

Fifteen years ago meditation saved Mike's life. After suffering a debilitating concussion with retrograde amnesia, Mike was hopeless and they thought he would struggle with memory recall for the rest of his life. Mike fell into a deep depression and was riddled with anxiety and thoughts of suicide. A hippie named Martin taught Mike how to meditate and six months later, his memory and concentration returned - better then it ever was. This experience became a portal for Mike, opening the doors of curiosity and leading him into a deep exploration of consciousness.

Mike is a tech entrepreneur and leads international meditation, yoga and mindfulness retreats with his wife, Amy. His current passion project is Sensie, training an smartphone to detect sources of chronic stress via machine learning and muscle testing techniques. He helps support the team at RiseUp Ventures by teaching mindfulness and entrepreneurship to youthful offenders inside the prison system.

Mike's teachers and sources of influence include: Dan Spinner, Francis Lucille (Advaita Vedanta (non-duality)), Martin the hippie, Rupert Spira, Mikey Siegel, Rachel Levy, Dr. Anne Jensen (Oxford). A friend and primary yoga teacher Eoin Finn, who studied under Ravi Ravindra, Pattabhi Jois, and David Swenson. (for more on Mike: www.mikedannheim.com)
