Jason Stephenson is the founder of Relax Me Online and has been involved in the meditation/relaxation healing field for the past 15 years. He is a meditation leader on Youtube, with his videos having reached millions of views and over 2 million followers on 2 different channels.
The importance of meditation came to Jason in his early 20′s, when he was entering some troubled times in his personal development. Jason says, “I relied on meditation at this time in my life and understanding that there was more to my life than just the surface physical appearances. I will never forget one experience I had whilst meditating in a local National Park , totally at one with nature, and I felt like in those few moments, I had everything I had ever wanted, could want right here right now. It was an intense experience that left me wanting more, and seeking out more.”
Having an interest in Buddhism, Jason attended a 10 day Monastic retreat at Nan Tien Temple in NSW, Australia, where those days really changed his outlook. It was from this point that Jason knew he had to continue on this path of seeking a deeper peace within himself and his world he lives in. In 2009, Nan Tien Temple asked Jason if would like to perform in a Buddhist song contest in Taiwan. It was here Jason performed on stage in Taiwan and won an award in an International Buddhist song contest. Combining his love of music and love of meditation, Jason knew he was on the right path.
In 2020, Jason is returning to Nan Tien University to study deepen his studies of meditation whilst completing his Applied Buddhism and Mindfulness Graduate Certificate.
