Michael Pyrtsch

Michael Pyrtsch is a German meditation teacher and mental trainer from the Mannheim area who trained in sport science, with psychology as a second subject, at Heidelberg University and later qualified as a meditation teacher. His own interest in meditation grew out of a long period of self-inquiry in which close relationships, sustained practice, shadow work and a serious illness abroad all played a part, and he describes his work as helping people recognise and accept the parts of themselves they push away.

Under the name Konzept Null he runs seminars for companies, schools and clubs that combine mental training and guided imagery, meditation and relaxation, physical activation and team exercises, alongside a short grounding in the psychology behind them. He also offers one-to-one coaching and leads online meditation. His guided meditations, in German and English, range from heart-centred and chakra practices to a long Hermetic visualisation, and he records chanting in Sanskrit, Tibetan and ancient Greek. On YouTube and TikTok he adds short talks linking meditation with ideas about time and consciousness drawn from Krishnamurti, David Bohm and modern physics. He has also published a lyrical book in German, Die 33 Tode der Zeit, and a children's book.
