Firstly a huge “Thank you” for visiting. Before I share empowering and spiritually-nourishing guidance, tips, and real-life benefits with you, let me tell you how we ended up here. I’ve been meditating since I was seven (that was 1981!) and I’ve been teaching people, just like you, since 1998. My own spiritual journey was amazing but also at times brutal, often learning the hard-way, and yes I’ve made many mistakes.

But I’m grateful for those tough times and hard lessons because they opened my heart even more. They also gave me experiences and insights into overcoming spiritual blocks, obstacles, and challenges. You know the kinds of things holding you back from your full potential.

Eventually after many thousands of hours of advanced light and sound meditation, often for days on end, in 2009 I attained what many refer to as “Enlightenment“. Truly amazing, Then I started to understand the “bigger picture”, which no one was talking about. Over time I learnt that so much of the ‘spiritual’ stuff we all struggle with is actually there to hold us back!

As a teacher I want to help you use your precious time wisely, avoiding unnecessary struggles. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the spiritual dead ends I went down too. So in 2018 I co-founded The Way Back to take all I’d learnt (and continue to learn) and to share it with you for free. The Way Back helps you to focus on what really matters. I do this for free because truly, we’re all in this together.

So, what about you? Are you seeking real and lasting growth? Would you like to have that unbreakable inner-connection with peace, love, and something more profound? What will it be like when you can rise fully above the confusion and noise in the world (and within you)? It’s time to go way past beliefs and ideas and to actually become whole and present. Are you ready? Let me walk with you then along The Way Back

Hungry for TRUTH & deeper spiritual guidance?

Which of these spiritually empowering books are you most drawn to?

Spiritual Life Explained Book
Stonehenge book
The Way Back: The Six Virtues Book

A book I keep coming back to: I was already meditating when I was recommended this book by a friend. I found it to be really helpful and as well as helping me to make sense of my journey it also improved my meditation too. Because it is easy to understand I have given it as a gift to many of my friends who are just starting out and so I am happy to recommend this for all beginners and also people who are experienced meditators. It’s probably a good read for anyone interested in things like meditation, life-lessons, and life’s purpose, you know, soul, spirit and all that stuff.

A fantastic book that will help and guide you. I have read Mark’s previous books which have provided wonderful insights into the bigger picture and this book continues on this theme. When truly embraced I believe that The Six Virtues are something that are empowering and enable us to evolve in so many ways. Thank you for providing us with this.

Another great book, very well written and easy to understand, the 6 virtues are all clearly explained. I’m still learning to “trust” so reading about how I can achieve this is very helpful. Looking forward to the next book.

Finally! A down to Earth book that inspires. I was recommended this book when I first got interested in learning meditation and have found that it has really helped me get the most from my practice. Admittedly I didn’t understand everything at first but as I have progressed in my meditation and gone back to this book I have found it to be profound and really inspiring. The author clearly has insights beyond most of what I’ve read elsewhere. This book isn’t just about meditation or even spirituality, it’s about life and learning how to live more aligned with your soul and your life-plan. Recommended to anyone who is spiritually aware. A great read too.

For the seeker of truth, this is a must read!ย A very clear and concise book that provides answers to questions about life, spirituality and our soul journey that I have been unable to find anywhere else. If you have started your journey or are thinking about it this book is highly recommended! Thank you to the author and the spiritual hierarchy!

An important truth! Every meditator needs to know.ย This book has been of incredible value to me, the subject that is light and sound meditation has either been wrapped in mysticism or more commonly, completely unknown. This book however has shed so much light on this phenomenon and revealed a world of knowledge that I thought wasnโ€™t out there. A mind blowing introduction to the bigger picture, and truly, the most incredible thing about it all is that is not just a story to entertain the mind, but there is also the opportunity for you to find it all out for yourself.This book is an incredible and imperative resource for all those curious about lifeโ€™s big questions, and anybody practicing meditation and want to take it to that next level.

Spiritual without meditation? God without religion? What is The Way Back?

It may surprise you to hear an experienced meditation teacher say “You don’t need to meditate to be spiritual“. It may also surprise you to hear that “You don’t need religion to experience God in your life“. God doesn’t belong to religion and meditation and spirituality are not the same thing.

  • Have you wondered if there’s more to life than this?
  • Do you have a sense of something greater, what people might call God, or The Source?
  • Do you believe there’s more to you than just your body?

Welcome! You’ve been guided to the right place x
