“Peace doesn't mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
Hi, I'm Billy.
I'm a seasoned meditation teacher based in Tipperary and Cork, Ireland, and a certified meditation coach in all three major types of meditation, with official credentials earned in May 2025.
I'm here to help you navigate the demands of modern life, manage severe stress and reduce the impact of anxiety and burnout — so you can develop greater calm, clarity and wellbeing and feel great every day.
The world I live in today is vastly more crowded, connected and pressured than the world I entered when I began my meditation journey in 1977, learning Transcendental Meditation from a teacher directly trained by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Modern people simply don't have hours to spare searching for peace.
That is why I developed Álainn Meditation® (AM), pronounced “All-In” — a simple, time-efficient approach designed around just 10 minutes twice a day.
The Irish word álainn means beautiful or lovely. For me, the name also captures an idea of beauty, elegance and splendour — bringing a little harmony into an increasingly chaotic world.
During my training and experience, I have studied and practised the three major categories of meditation:
I am a certified meditation coach in all three types.
Álainn Meditation® is based primarily on Automatic Self-Transcending, which forms the core of the technique. It is a natural approach to meditation that allows the mind to move effortlessly beyond active thinking and into a deeper state of rest.
I don't just teach this method — I rely on it myself.
Meditation played a major part in my recovery in 1977, and it has remained an important part of my life ever since.
I'm a driven individual, and I use meditation to help keep myself grounded, centred and on the level.
Over many years, I've learned that meditation doesn't have to be complicated, time-consuming or mysterious. It can be simple. It can be natural. And it can fit into ordinary modern life.
Álainn Meditation® is particularly suited to people who lead busy, demanding lives — including highly driven business people and anyone dealing with the pressures, stress, anxiety and burnout of modern life.
The objective is simple: to give you a practical way to create space, calm and clarity within your day.
You don't need to change your whole life.
You don't need hours of spare time.
Start with just 10 minutes.
