If you’re willing to spend 5-10 minutes every day practicing some simple meditation techniques, you’ll be surprised how quickly your life can change.

I started meditating over 20 years ago. I was looking for deeper meaning in my life. I wanted more out of every moment. A small voice kept whispering to me. Isn't there more to life than this? Can you relate?

• Stress, stress, stress: On a physical level, we run from one thing to the next leaving us tired, stressed, anxious, and depleted.
• Emotionally drained: You might feel depressed or you’re looking for more clarity. Or maybe you struggle to concentrate, focus, and make decisions?
• Spiritual detachment: You may suffer from a lack of clear purpose or meaning in your life. Like me, you feel there must be more, but don’t know where to find it.

…That’s where meditation comes into the picture

• Feel refreshed
• Awaken your creativity
• Focus your mind
• Let go of negative thoughts
• Experience the pleasure of expanded awareness
• Release stress
• Build confidence

Do you struggle to make meditation a habit? 

A lot of people struggle to make meditation a lasting habit. Like any habit, it takes time to work it into your routine. How long? According to a 2009 study from University College of London, on average it takes 66 days for any new behavior to become a bona-fide habit. When meditation is a habit, it becomes effortless and automatic.

That's why we help train all our students how to establish meditation as a habit. We do this because the benefits are so incredible. But more importantly, because we want you to graduate from this training with a meditation practice that will last for life.

When it comes to starting meditation, a lot of people struggle with the same issues. Here is where many folks get tripped up:

• You feel the instructions are confusing
• You feel like you don’t have time
• You don’t know if you are doing it right
• You’re unclear what you should be experiencing
• Your mind won’t go quiet

Those are THE most common concerns we hear about meditation from our students. And it’s true, without guidance from a seasoned practitioner, these can be stumbling blocks. But they don’t need to be.

First, THANK YOU so much for the meditation mini-course, I really enjoyed learning more about meditation and getting the reassurance that what I had been doing wasn’t wrong. I have been mostly doing guided meditations in the past but had felt I was missing out on something and had found it difficult to concentrate at times. So your focused meditation instruction has really helped me. Thank you once again and best wishes. ~Sonya

 

Isn’t it time you invested in yourself?

Here’s the thing. If you're willing to follow the weekly lessons in this course, you'll have a simple structure to enhance your life in powerful and potentially dramatic ways.

 

With a little bit of work and consistency, meditation can enrich your life in ways you can’t imagine.

 

Through this Core Training Program, you’ll taste of a part of your self that is always still, silent, grounded, and centered. And more than that, you’ll learn how to cultivate that space in yourself so you can access it at will. Then, you’ll learn that you have the choice to infuse your life with that rich and grounded part of yourself.

 

You’ll learn how to side-step many of the issues that cause your stress, anxiety, fear, and lack of focus. I’m not exaggerating when I say that it can improve your relationships, enhance your creativity, hone your focus, and much more.

 

These days, meditation is no longer the province of monks, yogis, and hippies. Meditation is a go-to practice for executives, A-list actors, olympic athletes, and Oprah Winfrey. It’s been on the cover of Time magazine twice in the last decade.

 

Why should you listen to me?

Here’s my meditation story in a nutshell. 22 years ago I was in college and I was searching for meaning and purpose. Over time, I suffered and grew more anxious because I knew there must be more to life than this. I was struggling inside and I was searching for deeper meaning...

 

And then I found it when I discovered meditation...

And when I did, everything changed. I stopped struggling against the current of life. I discovered that there is a reservoir of peace inside of me. And I could nurture that inner quiet through regular practice.

 

Now I experience a kind of fulfillment in life that I couldn’t imagine before. Of course I still suffer like everyone else, but I also see that I have access to something else that’s rare in this world. And it comes from meditation. It’s a source of confidence and I know that it’s in you too.

 

I want you to have that experience too...

Do you want to be the source of your own inspiration? If you are willing to put in the same amount of time it takes you to drink a cup of coffee then you can do this.

Through meditation, you’ll start to nurture a source of inspiration in yourself that no one can take away from you. It’s yours. In fact, it is you.
