Miranda Macpherson

Miranda Macpherson is a spiritual teacher, counselor and author known for her depth of presence and her gift for guiding people into direct experience of the Sacred. She has been teaching internationally since 1995, and brings three decades of teaching experience to what truly works to liberate unnecessary suffering and gain traction on the path of awakening.

Her approach is a holistic path of spiritual surrender and non-dual realization, built on the practice of Ego Relaxation. She describes ego as a sense of separation formed into a network of adaptive defenses of fear, control and judgment, and invites people to recognize these patterns with compassion and let their identification with them soften. Her teaching is that spiritual transformation cannot be forced: when the interference relaxes, Grace finds you. Her work draws on self-inquiry, spiritual psychology, devotion and meditation, offered with feminine grace that embraces the whole of human experience as a gateway into our true nature.

She has been inspired by Sri Ramana Maharshi, A Course in Miracles, extensive study of the world's wisdom traditions and, more recently, the Diamond Approach.

Miranda is the author of The Way of Grace: the Transforming Power of Ego Relaxation and Meditations on Boundless Love (both Sounds True), and Boundless Love (Rider). She is also a kirtan musician with two mantra albums, Streams of Grace and The Heart of Being. Her teaching reaches people through retreats, online courses, audio teachings, private sessions and the Living Grace community, a global community practicing Ego Relaxation in daily life.
