What Is MyndGuide?
You’re probably here for clarity.
Or curiosity.
Maybe both.
I have no credentials or titles to share. What matters to me is this:
Creations that encourage others to explore their mind process – not to fix (anything) but as a process of observation, questioning, and discovery.
How This Might Be Different
My Mind Guide is not a method for you to follow.
I believe the best method is a mirror.
Self-help means We must do the work, ourselves.
Look in the mirror and ask this of yourself:
Am I looking for externally for answers from others,
or am I looking within and helping myself?
You may believe you need ‘more’ before you are able to help yourself, but that is just your mind/ desire – you will Never have enough. You are already complete.
I’m not selling techniques, hacks, or morning routines.
There’s no promise of transformation –
just a chance to observe what’s already happening – that observations becomes Your Own Mind Guide.
MyndGuide videos, articles, and reflections are
not meant to teach you what to think, but to help you notice your thoughts as life happen.
If you’re tired of the performative approach to life,
constantly measuring your personal progress,
struggling with self-doubt and/or chasing completion and enjoyment, develop your own guide – map it out for yourself and create a space that feels like an exhale.
Who’s Behind MyndGuide?
Hello! My name is Derek and I’m the ‘voice behind the brain’.
I live life on the west coast of Canada where I watch my mind process happen, write and share my experiences, and sometimes question my sanity in the middle of a meditation.
I believe certainty is a barrier, not a badge – and unknowing is the path, not a failure… but I could be wrong.
My journey is internal and experiential now, but in the past I’ve drawn from a range of influences – including Zen Buddhism, Taoist philosophy, Christian and Sufi mysticism, a dash of Jung, and some modern voices like Ram Dass and Terence McKenna.
I’ve also borrowed from personal silence, doubt, frustration, and long walks – which have taught me more than any book or video.
I have no secrets to sell. I’m just trying to stay honest about what it means to be human and share that process through these little videos and short essays.
