About The Doorway Of The Midpoint

The Doorway Of The Midpoint

The Doorway of the Midpoint

A 56-Year Distillation

So many meditation teachers will talk about the space between the breaths.

But how do you find it?

How do you make this elusive concept tangible?

How do you actually meditate on something so ephemeral?

And what's so special about this space anyway?

The Drive

For over five decades, I have pursued the specific technology required to move beyond simple relaxation to the state where the Truth arises.

One of the foundational teachings I received from the masters with whom I trained was about this mysterious space. They led me to realize they weren't just pointing to a fleeting phenomenon, but instead to a doorway into the vast and unlimited realm of Pure Consciousness itself.

The Shift

When you begin to touch this space, your meditation fundamentally changes. Whatever style of meditation you practice, bringing this space of the midpoint into your direct awareness expands your view of who you are and what is within your capacity to experience.

The Methodology

Step by step, through focused lectures and guided meditations, I'll help you discover The Midpoint for yourself. The course will unfold two core revelations: What Emptiness is, and how Emptiness can actually be used as a tool to empower meditation, and to dissolve the subject/object duality.

The Teacher

I’m Mindo and I’ve devoted myself to the inner study of Consciousness and the art of meditation. For the past two decades, I’ve taught hundreds of students how to develop real sensitivity to the inner world — through clear, practical training of attention.

My teaching style is simple, precise, and down-to-earth. But don’t let the simplicity fool you — these teachings land with a depth that often surprises people. When you train your attention in the right way, even small adjustments can open profound shifts in how meditation feels.

Who This Course Is For

NEW MEDITATORS

If you’ve never meditated before, you’re welcome to take this course — it’s accessible to all levels of experience. If you’d like a gentler beginning, you may find it helpful to start with Begin Meditating and spend a little time getting comfortable with the simple movement of turning attention within.

MEDITATING 1-5 YEARS

If you’re in your first few years of practice — whether you’ve just completed Begin Meditating or you’ve been practicing another style — this course will help you refine your perception and begin sensing the subtle movement within. It’s an ideal way to deepen your practice and cultivate the inner skills that make meditation come alive. This is where meditation shifts from a practice you “do” to an inner experience you can feel.

EXPERIENCED MEDITATORS

If you’re an experienced meditator, coming from any tradition, this is the natural next step. At this stage, you’re ready to enter the deeper dimensions of awareness through the most precise and direct methods available. The Doorway of the Midpoint gives you the foundation for all the advanced work we’ll explore together.

FAQ About The Course

  • No, but because the advanced courses build directly on the skills you learn here, I recommend you know:
    • How to detect prana
    • How to track its movement
    • How to feel subtle internal shifts with reliability.

    Most people — even experienced meditators — have gaps in this kind of training. 

    Before we explore subtle channels, higher winds, or advanced internal techniques, it’s essential that we’re speaking the same energetic “language.”

    Discovering Prana ensures that everyone, regardless of background, engages the more advanced courses with the same calibrated sensitivity. Without that foundation, the higher-level practices are much more difficult.

  • No — breath is simply the instrument, not the music.

    Most breath-based approaches focus on shaping the inhale and exhale, as if breath itself were the goal. But breath is only the visible movement of something far more subtle flowing within it.

    In this course, we focus on the prana that breath carries.

    Once you learn to sense that directly, breath becomes a gateway — not the destination.

  • No.

    You don’t need to adopt any religious or philosophical beliefs.

    Learning to detect prana is completely experiential.

    There are Sanskrit words used in the course, simply because they describe things for which there are no English equivalents, but these terms don’t have any religious affiliations with Buddhism or Hinduism. These words are more like scientific descriptions than anything else, much the same way that science and medicine use Latin words to be able to communicate with greater precision.

  • Discovering Prana is a self-paced course that includes fifteen concentrated lessons, seven guided meditations, and several practical exercises.

    I recommend spending about an hour a week with the lessons and exercises, giving yourself time to absorb the material, practice the meditations, and let things settle.

    At that pace, the course becomes a 5–8 week journey that gradually transforms the way you experience the living energy within the breath.

    Within the course structure you’ll find a detailed suggested schedule you can use - but the pacing really is up to you.

  • No prior background in yoga, asana or pranayama is required.

    You don’t need to know any Sanskrit, and you don’t need a long meditation history.

    You don’t need to embrace any belief system either; it’s all experiential.

    All you need is curiosity, and a willingness to explore your inner landscape.

    Everything else is taught step-by-step inside the course.

  • An average week might look like:

    • 30–45 minutes for the lesson

    • 10–20 minutes for the guided meditation

    • another 10 minutes to explore the exercises throughout the week

    Many students find that a single hour per week feels spacious and easeful — and is more than enough to create real change; though a little bit of daily work with the exercises pays off handsomely.

  • Each lesson is short and concentrated — designed to give you the full teaching of a longer talk, distilled into its clearest form.

    The material is not complex, but it is precise.

    You’ll know exactly what to pay attention to, and exactly how to practice it.

    Most students find it refreshingly clear and surprisingly accessible.

  • Repeating lessons can be incredibly helpful, and I encourage everyone to do so often.

    Each time you revisit a teaching, you’ll notice new details emerging in your perception.

    The guided meditations are designed to be used repeatedly, and many students return to them long after the course is complete.

  • From the time you begin your course you will always have access for at least 12 months.
    Courses offering ‘lifetime’ access seldom stand behind that promise if they ever have to move the website - you’re left in the dust.
    In contrast, I’ll make sure your first year is solid and - as long as the course is on this server - your access will continue.

  • Discovering Prana is delivered in full the moment you enroll, and for that reason the course is non-refundable.

    To support your clarity in making the decision, the entire first lesson is available below as a free preview.

    Feel into whether the teaching resonates with you before stepping in.

  • You’re not on your own with this material.

    I personally answer every question that comes in about the course.

    If your question is something others may benefit from, I’ll make it anonymous and create a short video response for future students.

    If it’s private or specific to your situation, I’ll write back to you directly.

    And if you ever want deeper support, I’m available for private sessions as well.

  • That is up to you and how fast you’d like to master this material.

    You can use these meditations to supplement whatever style of meditation you are currently doing, peppering them in as you see fit.

    Or you can take this time you are in the course to really dive in and use these meditations exclusively. They work beautifully as the focal point for you daily sit. In fact , while studying this material the members of my private sangha used these meditations twice a day as their sole practice.
