Guest Bio: Melissa McKay is a meditation teacher trained in vipassana and metta meditation in Burma and the US. The rigorous form of training she undertook helped her to gain insight into understanding the human mind and the cause of suffering and stress and to discover the potential to eradicate it. She has spent over 2 years cumulatively in intensive retreat practice and has over 10,000 hours of meditation training. She is also a Senior Meditation Teacher at Insight LA.
