My Story

From Media to Mindfulness

I am Merieme Lakhdar, and I teach Mindfulness to all ages in Morocco. But my journey to becoming a mindfulness facilitator was born from personal struggle.

I am Epileptic (PNES) since a very young age. With time, my seizures only doubled and tripled, and it made me crippled. Mindfulness taught me simple techniques to deal with my emotions, accept them, and learn from them.

Since that discovery, I have ditched my Media career at CNN, Cartoon Network, and NBC Universal to follow my true potential: to teach Emotional Intelligence to all ages.

My Mission

My heart is with kids and schools. They are the next generation, the next Moroccan society, and if they learn how to deal with their emotions, their life will be easier than ours.

But we can't do that if we don't start with Mindful Teachers and Mindful Parents—they are the pillars of the next generation. Therefore, they should learn how to deal with their emotions first, then the kids.

I have integrated Non-Violent Communication into all my training, as I deeply believe every success or failure is based on Communication. Being aware of what we say is fundamental, as we are often harsh when we are in low states of mind.

Acknowledging our unconscious vocabulary can help us to be present in the moment and then choose better wording towards ourselves, our kids, and our surroundings.

Education is the most fundamental tool in the world—knowledge is priceless. However, education in the interior world and emotional intelligence is often non-existent in schools, and that is a huge handicap I am working to change.

Philosophy

Awareness. Compassion. No Judgement.

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present and aware of where we are and what we are doing. We all live on Autopilot, and we don't have the knowledge to stay away from our thoughts.

Awareness

Developing conscious attention to our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in each moment.

Compassion

Cultivating kindness towards ourselves and others, especially in difficult moments.

No Judgement

Accepting experiences as they are without labeling them as good or bad.
