Can You Benefit from an Online Meditation Coaching Session?
Sawatdee Krup! (Thai for hello…)
- Do you meditate now? Are you 100% sure you’re on the right path?
- Have you meditated in the past and want to restart your practice?
- Do you have some issues in your meditation practice that you’d like to talk to someone about and get clarity on?
- Do you want to learn how to get into Deep Jhana?
Meditation Problems?
Everyone begins their meditation practice with a good idea of what they will do.
Over time, it slowly fades – doesn’t it?
This happens to everyone. It happened to me too.
Because I was self-guided, I always wondered whether I was on track or off track.
Over twenty years ago I didn’t have access to a meditation teacher who taught in the way I wanted.
For you, it’s much easier. We can be video or voice-chatting in minutes.
In March 2025 I’m offering a FREE 15-minute consultation for anyone who wants to better clarify whether deep Jhana training is the right next step. Call now >

PLEASE NOTE – anyone ordering any of the services above – will receive any of the 3 meditation books in digital PDF format for free. Books can be found at Amazon: “Meditation for Beginners – A 22-Day Course,” “Meditation for Beginners – Secrets for Success,” and “101 Curious and Bizarre Meditation Experiences.”
I came up with this new format so I can reach more people. I’ve become aware that there are some people who don’t want to interact over an audio or video chat. That’s fine, now you can just buy the Jhana Video Training.
So people who don’t want to interact directly with me can just buy the video which tells everything about the process of entering the Deep Jhanas.
Even for regular Jhana Coaching, you can get the video first and then see if you want to talk about it afterward.
I LOVE TALKING TO EVERYONE, so I don’t want to cut that part out. It’s the most fun to hear about everyone’s experiences. However, on a typical call before this I was taking 40-50 minutes to go over in detail every aspect of the process and at times I might miss something. The video coaching ensures I say everything I want and everyone gets the same instructions.
Who Are You?
I’m an American meditation teacher and author living in Thailand with my small family. My name is Vern Lovic. I grew up in Pennsylvania and I spent years in Florida, Hawaii, New York City, and I just passed my 20 year anniversary in Thailand.
I began meditating in 1996 following a line of meditation closely related to Vipassana and Anapanasati. Basically, meditation on the breath without any of the extras that religious belief adds to it.
During our coaching session, I won’t be trying to persuade you that Buddhism is the way, Hinduism is your best shot, or any other religion is the answer.
I found that the religion part is extra and has nothing to do with the success of your meditation practice. 🙂
Here’s a video on Jhana Meditation Coaching and a bit about me and how this all started!
What Do You Offer?
Ever since publishing “Meditation for Beginners – A 22-Day Course” on Amazon in eBook and paperback formats back in 2011, I’ve had many people requesting my coaching services and personal instruction.
I just started offering Online Meditation Coaching in 2025.

How Does Your Meditation Coaching Work?
It’s really simple.
We introduce ourselves and both of us can ask questions.
I ask about your short and long-term goals with meditation and/or Jhana meditation.
We talk about that.
We come up with a plan and specific outline of steps that will help you reach those goals.
We say goodbye and you practice and make it happen!
I’m always available for another session later if you need it. Right now there are roughly 70% of students who want another call in a few weeks or a month or so. I don’t usually schedule a lot of sessions at a time. Coaching calls should be according to your need and can be anytime you choose.
You may only need 1 hour. Most of our calls go to 2 hours and I hear from our students again in a couple of months about how they are doing.
Some students enjoy a 1-hour call per week or month to ask questions and to ensure they are on the right path.
As a basic meditation, Jhana, and mindfulness coach, I provide personalized instruction and support based on your history and needs to guide you along a productive path that will lead to you reaching the goals you’ve chosen.
