Okay, hear me out...
Have you ever heard the saying, "As Within, So Without"?
Well, the foundation of the Gelugpa School of Tibetan Buddhism (the root of the practices you'll be learning) says that according to this system, your entire world is coming from a projection of your own mind.
In fact, my teachers call this lineage⚡Heavy Metal Buddhism🤘🏼 for a reason - it's the most radical school of thought possible in all of Buddhism.
Essentially they're saying your world & the experience you're having in it is coming from you, not at you.
🔥And that's the most empowering part. If it's coming from you, that means it can change. The change starts from within your own mind.
If you want an apple tree, you've got to plant an apple seed, right? But if you plant a pear seed, you're definitely getting a pear (not apple) tree. Well, think of your mind as the garden. Through your meditation practice, you're planting the seeds (the causes) in the garden of your mind for what you want to see appear & expand in your life.
⚡All this to say: You can read all the self-help books you want, spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to hire the hottest coaches & absorb every word they say while praying that "being in their vibe" will magically make your circumstances change, listen to law of attraction tracks while you sleep in hopes it'll sink in enough by the time you wake up or stare at your vision board for hours wishing & longing for things to shift...
...but in order to turn your desires into your living, breathing reality, the change has to happen in your mind first.
👉🏼Want more love? More money? More peace? More confidence? More patience? Less fear, stress or anxiety? You've got to start creating the world you want to experience from the inside out - then follow that through by also showing up differently in your life (in Buddhism, it's through your thoughts, speech & actions)...or nothing actually changes.

LIMITED-TIME FREE BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN:
BLISS 101: A Beginner's Audio Guide to Daily Tibetan Buddhist Meditation
You'll receive a bundle of audios to simplify & demystify a daily meditation practice (in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition), making it as easy as possible for you to get started...and keep showing up.
For most newcomers, meditation can feel super daunting & overwhelming. Most people have NO idea where to start or they get so caught up in the rules & details of it all...that they never begin or they quit just as quickly as they started.
My goal is to make the act of creating your daily meditation ritual as simple, meaningful & effective as possible.
With this Step-by-Step Audio Guide, you'll learn how to:
- Set up a dedicated meditation space, so you're motivated to keep coming back
- Clarify your intention to amplify your practice (this is especially important on the days you don't feel like doing it)
- Settle into correct posture & use specific breathing techniques for concentration
- Start developing "samatha" (pronounced sha-ma-tah), aka: single-pointed focus (this is the core of Buddhist meditation practice & the first step to receiving more advanced realizations later)
- Time & track your daily practice with my favorite free app (& download to your phone to make it easy to practice anywhere)
Keep showing up, even when you fall off your routine or hit resistance (hint: small, consistent steps & progress over perfection)
You’ll finish this bundle with the confidence to get your personal meditation practice started on your own, crystallize a clear intention that will fuel your practice & have steps to follow when resistance or challenges creep in (this is normal, no matter how advanced of a practitioner you are). This bonus (valued at $33 USD) is yours free when you join & become a founding member of The Studio, as long as the offer lasts!

I'M ALI + THIS IS HOW MEDI COLLECTIVE WAS BORN...
I'm not going to lie...the way I found meditation wasn't a cute little "love & light" story. 👀
The catalyst for me finally getting serious about exploring meditation (many moons ago) was right after an 💔insanely difficult break-up AND simultaneous financial crisis😵when I was legitimately at my most unhinged, rock-bottom moment.
I'd tried almost every other alternative healing modality & was desperate to feel better & create lasting change. Law of Attraction books, scattering crystals around my apartment, pasting magazine cut-outs on a vision board & writing my affirmations alone weren't cutting it.
At this point I was: newly-single (not by choice) & newly-fired (for the 2nd time within a year from a salaried 9 to 5), almost zero savings left to my name, about 15 pounds underweight from stress, drinking tequila alone in my apartment to numb out & at an all-time emotional low. These were *dark times*, but humans are gonna human 😂, so sometimes it takes a gut-wrenchingly painful situation to wake us up (hint: Buddhas appear in whatever form we need to get the message; sometimes this looks like the biggest loss or challenge of our life👼🏼). Well, I got the memo.
I'd read that meditation would get to the subconscious parts of my brain that needed reprogramming & I figured it was worth a shot, since nothing else was really working up until this point. That began a 10-year journey into mindfulness & meditation of all kinds -mantra, transcendental meditation, kundalini, breathwork - you name it, I'm sure I tried it. And as they always say, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. This literally happened for me.
After years of practicing different forms of meditation & using it as a primary tool inside my women's intimacy mentorship spaces & with 1:1 clients, an opportunity to study Tibetan Buddhism landed on my lap in early 2023. I'd been curious about Buddhism for years, but this was a massive⚡lightning-bolt-to-the-head⚡moment. The teachings just...landed. They made sense to me on a deeply intuitive level, even though I'd "never heard them before" (not in this life at least 😂).
After a year of intense daily practice, private mentorship, ongoing *dharma* studies (*that's the Buddhist philosophy) & requests to learn this kind of meditation from my community of clients I'd built over the years as a spiritual/relationship mentor...I decided it was time to create a virtual space where we can practice & grow together, no matter where you are in the world.
The year I started studying Buddhism was also ironically (but not, lol) the year I found myself stripped of most of my material comfort (talk about directly embodying non-attachment ✌🏼) - and there aren't any accidents. I basically went monk-mode & came out of it - using specific daily Buddhist meditation practices - the most clear, grounded & emotionally fulfilled than I have been in years...even during the year I was in the void, made the least money in my business & had to embrace an extremely minimalist lifestyle. I learned what it means to feel "safe" from within & how freedom or happiness truly are an inside job, even when our external circumstances appear limited, chaotic or uncertain. Since in this system our reality is coming from us, we've got the power to change it for the better.
Through the Medi Collective, I want to share the biggest gift I've ever received - 💎 these teachings💎- with as many people as possible, in the most accessible way I can. The ideals at the heart of Buddhism are the Three Jewels - The Buddha (the teacher), The Dharma (the teachings/philosophy) & The Sangha (your community of other practitioners). So, consider this space your virtual Sangha! The spiritual journey can be amazingly beautiful...and f-ing hard, too. Finding a supportive community that you vibe with makes the journey much less lonely & way more fun.
Remember - if you landed on this page & you're reading these words right now, it's for a reason. Trust the way your path is unfolding.
💌P.P.S. Yup, that's me below, in kindergarten, in the meditation hand mudra. When you know, you just know.😉
Showing up for myself consistently through daily practice was a big lesson. I learned how to self-soothe, regulate my emotions & take full responsibility for my reactions...
