Today we’d like to introduce you to Eric & Pamela Hampton
Hi Eric & Pamela, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My wife and I didn’t start out with plans to create a business. Actually we started out looking into different type of meditation modalities to assist us with our daily lives. I needed something to help me deal with the stress of running my own company, and my wife was working in commercial real estate. So we started meditating at home and found it was working for us.. A few friends notice that we seemed to be doing really well in our personal and business life and inquired what was our secret. We told them about our meditation practice and they agreed to come by the house for a session. At the time( about 15 years ago) we had no specific method or structured approach. We would simple share a “mixed bag” of all we had learned. We would meditate, have a discussion about a topic and end with another meditation. This started out as one session, then it turned into weekly secessions. The word spread and we went from 4 or 5 people a week to sometimes as many as 25 to 40 people at our home for our meditations. We started calling the group the collective awareness group. After a couple of years and many personal conversation and revelations within the group. My wife and I discovered we had a love and a passion for sharing what we had learned. That’s when we founded Meditateology. We created the name to represent a fusion of meditation and psychology. We wanted our clients to learn how to deal with their daily stress and “life problems” by tuning inwards for peace and guidance using a very strategic and intentional approach. Now we are please to see how we are touching people lives and how blessed we are to discover a passion that we both share.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the biggest struggle early was seeing so many people with major stress and anxiety in their lives and how desperately they needed solutions. I personally put a lot of pressure on myself to deliver options to help. I carried their burdens with me. It started making me physically ill. The energy of stress sometime was hard to let go when you want to see your friend experience relief. It was like the thing that delivered so much peace with us was also creating pressure when others came looking for help. I had to learn how to release that heavy energy so we could continue to be of service. Another hard thing believe it or not was decide to charge for service. We were so used to just offering our service it was costing us time and money and we just didn’t know how to ask for help! I know sounds crazy but we did for years.
We’ve been impressed with Meditateology, LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am proud to say that Meditateology LLC is our business. We help singles and couples who are stress and overwhelmed find peace through an inner mindfulness practice. We created several customized techniques and different modalities to help our clients on find peace in their mind body and Soul.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
As a self proclaimed serial entrepreneur, I think that there is no better joy in life than to realize your dream, pursue that dream, and see it come to fruition. So many people dare not to dream or dream within reason for fear of disappointment. I think that the hardest part of living your passion is not the doing, it is the believing. Once your belief in yourself and your own capabilities are strong enough, you find that the corresponding events that support your belief will materialize.
