Chess Edwards

Chess Edwards is a Sedona-based self-realization guide, sacred wisdom teacher and meditation instructor. He describes himself as an Inner Journey Guide, and he helps people meet their personal, professional and aspirational lives with peace, presence and resilience. He has more than 40 years of experience guiding people into deeper relationships with themselves, their work and the world they live in.

His work centers on genuine inner stillness and self-knowing: a journey within to find one's most authentic truth and to see how deep programming and conditioning keep us from living it. In his words, "From a foundation of genuine inner stillness, life flows with creativity, courage, love and authenticity." He says his aim is not to put anyone on a particular mountain, but to help people build the mastery to climb any mountain they choose.

Chess offers private coaching for high-achieving professionals and visionaries, an online course called Beyond The Noise, and a meditation study course, The Empowered Meditation Toolkit. He also guides private retreats at his Sedona home, combining Self Realization teachings, breathwork, guided meditation and time out on the land.

He describes himself as an adventurer at heart, drawn since childhood to the edges of life and devoted to personal and spiritual evolution. He speaks openly of both successes and humbling defeats along the way. His Insight Timer teacher page says he has guided thousands of people from all walks of life toward freedom, peace, power and joy.
