About Me
"My main message is one of hope. As long as you are still breathing, you can change your life at any moment. You can transform suffering into awakening and it can happen faster than you may think with the right support and guidance.
You are a bright shining star waiting to be unleashed onto the world."
Sean Jimon Bevis
Zen Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher
Hello and welcome to Conscious Mind, a place of safety, compassion, learning, energy and community. Everyone is welcome here no matter your background, status or previous life experience.
​
My name is Sean Jimon Bevis and I am the founder of Conscious Mind and a Zen Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher. I offer powerful meditation and mindfulness training that has been developed over 2500 years in the Japanese Rinzai Zen tradition. These techniques can be learned, performed and perfected by anyone, regardless of their background. They have a proven track record of success for hundreds of years that modern science has now started to support with empirical evidence.
​
My meditation journey started in 2009 and I have been a meditation teacher since 2016. Meditation literally saved my life and makes me a better person every day. I am a lifelong trauma survivor (Complex PTSD) and meditation has enabled me to work on the suffering I have experienced in a deeply healing way. I am still very much a work in progress and I am completely honest about this with my students. Trust, honesty and transparency is at the core of my teaching.
​
I have had the special honour of being trained and mentored by Zen Master Daizan Skinner who continues to help me develop as a meditator, teacher and human being.​ I took my Jukai ceremony (where I formally became a Rinzai Zen Buddhist) with Daizan Roshi on 12 July 2023. During the ceremony, he gave me the Dharma name 'Jimon', meaning 'Gate of Compassion'. It's impossible to describe in words how important this name is to me, my work and my intentions in all that I do now and in the future.
​
I am the proud father of 3 beautiful daughters who are my greatest teachers and keep love, laughter and light in my life constantly.
​
I lost the love of my life and soulmate Marie to breast cancer in August 2025. She was a deeply gifted spiritual person who had the most powerful ability to love and care for others. Everything I do as a meditation teacher and human being is dedicated to her, our daughter Aurora, her sisters Issy and Ellie, and to all living beings.
​​
If you ever want to have a friendly chat, please contact me. I'm happy to talk to you about your life, your aspirations, your troubles and answer any questions about the training I offer.
​
Wishing you peace, prosperity and power and I hope our paths cross soon.
