Role on Learn-to-Meditate.com
Jeff Nielsen manages and develops Learn-to-Meditate.com as a free meditation education project. The site is designed to help beginners understand posture, breathing, attention, self-awareness and simple daily practice, while also providing enquiries for group, workplace and seminar education.
Jeff's approach is practical: meditation should be explained clearly enough that a person can continue independently. It should respect different cultures and beliefs, avoid exaggerated promises and remain honest about the difference between general wellbeing education and professional health care.
Academic background
Jeff has completed postgraduate study in dementia and neuroscience and has an academic background in medical science and technology. This informs the site's interest in attention, awareness, ageing, stress, brain health and careful interpretation of meditation research.
Academic study does not make meditation a medical treatment. Research summaries on the site are educational, cite evidence where possible and should not be read as personal medical advice.
Meditation teaching and seminars
The teaching direction includes beginner meditation, guided breathing, body awareness, reflective practice, soul-conscious meditation, stress education, workplace sessions and neuroscience-informed seminars. Human sessions are arranged individually; the website does not claim a permanent physical centre or resident teacher in every city listed.
Online AI guidance is available for immediate educational support. The AI teacher is clearly separated from emergency, crisis, medical, psychological and counselling services.
