In this episode of Sage Advice we have as our guest, Li-Anne Tang from Perth, Western Australia.
Li-Anne Tang, Ph.D., is an experienced spiritual life coach, guide and mentor. Li-Anne’s life changed dramatically when she found herself in the midst of a dark night of the soul whilst raising her two young children. She searched the world and was fortunate to find wise and compassionate Buddhist meditation masters to guide her on her journey. At that time, she had already explored the depths of Western understanding through a Bachelor of Psychology, Master of Science, Ph.D. in neuropsychiatry and postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Her subsequent practice under the tutelage of great meditation masters led her to the first of her spiritual awakenings. Since then, she has studied closely under numerous other masters, who have encouraged her to share her insights through her unique way of connecting with her students.
I hope that this episode of Sage Advice gets listeners to take a fresh look at mental illness from the point of view of spiritual practice, and I hope that this interview with Li-Anne Tang will help some people to stop asking “What’s wrong with me?”, and to start thinking “This difficult mind state I have at this time may be the opportunity I need to learn and to grow”.

I appreciated very much how careful Ms Tang was about reducing stigma and normalizing mental illness, and her clear compassion for and honoring of her students. Unfortunately not all meditation teachers are so careful.

This was a great discussion. I would have liked to hear a bit more about the importance of meditation teachers becoming clearly trauma informed. On retreat, a quiet mind & body can cause an unexpected release of intense trauma memories/body sensations. If told, “just let the feelings rise and pass away” such a student might end up leaving the retreat in a state of shame, where taking the time to help the student w self regulation (in a consciously non shaming way) could make all the difference
