Is Inquiry Meditation for me?​
​Inquiry Meditation is for people who want to resolve emotional triggers, trauma, and childhood wounds and would love to do so gently, extraordinarily effectively, and with results that begin during the 15-Minute Experience--and last a lifetime.
​
What is Inquiry Meditation?​​​
​​
​Inquiry Meditation (IM) is a somatic healing modality that includes elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Classic Pleasure Theory, The Work by Byron Katie, and Vipassana Meditation.

Session #1: "I felt weirdly peaceful."

"Leslie's work is transformational. She is capable of helping people reach tender places while feeling safe and cared for, and holding the most gentle and caring space during the entire process. I highly recommend Leslie Quigless and her beautiful work for all of those who are on a healing path."
Kate D, OTR/L
Why does Inquiry Meditation begin working so quickly?
IM is a concentrated dose of what heals pain at its roots: evermore direct and gentle engagement, or interaction, with the pain. ​
​​
This is why the modality begins working so quickly.

"Leslie will change your life. I'm already noticing great shifts and can't wait to see where I'll be 6 months in. I recommend her to anyone who will listen. Do you want to dissolve lifelong blocks and start flowing in the way you were born to? Work with Leslie."
Kelley S.
What happens during sessions?
We begin by feeling for where pain is coming up in response to the problem or stress you're experiencing.
The pain may be in your chest, for example. You won't have to look hard for this pain--it wants to be seen! (This applies to numbness as well.)
Once we've identified where the pain is occurring, we engage with it.
​
I call IM a pleasure practice because the process of our interaction with the pain--the healing process itself, that is--feels really good!
​​​
Your body registers this good feeling as immediate relief from your suffering. ​

"As someone who has spent years protecting myself by numbing uncomfortable feelings, I have found Leslie's method of Inquiry Meditation to be safe, gentle and incredibly effective.
Leslie has an incredible spirit and energy which is both energizing and calming - it's hard to explain but you understand the minute you meet her. She is a gifted practitioner and a gift to my life.​"

"All I can say is “Wow!” I must admit that I was a skeptic at first because I had never really had success meditating on my own in the past. I would always find my mind racing as I thought about everything that I needed to do.
Now, I am absolutely amazed because during my sessions with Leslie, she guided me through discovering a place of calm and inner peace."
