Jim Malloy

Jim Malloy is a meditation teacher living in Fairfield, Iowa. He was trained in 1973 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the International Meditation Society, and he has taught meditation for more than five decades. He has led classes across the U.S., in the U.K. and in Mexico, and now teaches worldwide online through the Worldwide Online Meditation Center, Insight Timer, YouTube and other streaming platforms.

His approach is plain and practical. He draws on many of the world's spiritual traditions rather than any single path. He offers concise instructions for techniques such as Mindfulness, Inner Light and Universal Mantra meditation, along with relaxation, energy healing, color healing and centering practices for daily life. His guided audio meditations cover relaxation, easing anxiety, sleep, self-forgiveness and higher guidance, and he has made them with his own guidance and music. His Easy Essence course is a five-lesson introduction to the basics of meditation and four methods for connecting with one's inner Essence.

To deepen his practice and his teaching, Jim has studied with and received initiation from several spiritual teachers, including Swami Muktananda, Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma) and the 16th Karmapa of the Tibetan Karma Kagyu lineage.

He is the author of "Evolve Please!" and "The Shift Goes On." He also created the DailyOM course "Meditation for Spiritual Awakening" and the Udemy course "How to Meditate with Surprising Ease." In his own words, he teaches because he has seen how dramatically meditation improves individual lives, and because he believes more people meditating will lead to more peace and compassion on the planet.
