Frequently asked questions

What is Cultivating Emotional Balance?

Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) is an evidence-based and secular framework that combines psychological research on emotions and well-being with Buddhist contemplative and meditative practices. The ultimate goal of CEB is the development of lasting well-being.

Do I need to have any meditation experience?

No meditation experience is needed for this event. You will learn the basics of meditation as it is practiced in CEB.

If I have meditation experience or have taken a CEB course before, should I take this class?

While the concepts of CEB are simple, they do require practice to master. Additionally, by approaching the class with a "beginner's mind," students can find new or deeper insights with repeated practice.

What do I need for class?

The most important thing you will need is a comfortable and quiet space with a stable internet connection. Note taking is optional and is completely based on what is most comfortable for you. Beyond that, an openness to the material and willingness to work with each other is the only requirement.

What is the flow of the class?

This 3-hour class starts with a grounding meditation to bring everyone to the present. In addition to presentation and lecture, participants will interact with each other in directed practices which can include journaling and dyad (partner) or small group work. A break will be incorporated.

"The tools and techniques I learned in the CEB course have become my go-to in managing my anxiety and dealing with significant life changes. I now feel like I can maintain my emotional well-being and cope whenever the need appears."

"The CEB class helped me develop a deeper understanding of myself, my emotions, and others I interact with to cultivate stronger connections with others. "

"The guided meditation sessions were a great entry point and have become a pivotal element of my daily life. After completing the class, I have integrated meditation into my daily routine, practicing once or twice a day. It’s my go-to strategy when I feel overwhelmed and need a strategic pause from life’s challenges. I’m able to regain composure and approach situations with a fresh perspective."

"Tom is an amazing teacher and I am grateful for all the knowledge he shared with us. He was well organized, enthusiastic, and explained the concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand way. "

"Discussing emotions can be a vulnerable process, but under Tom’s guidance the class became a trusting space where I felt free to share without fear of judgment. Tom’s compassionate and empathetic approach created an atmosphere of openness. He was willing to dive deeper and set aside time for discussions and questions outside of class hours."
