Learn to Meditate in 10 Weeks
The benefits of meditation are well-documented and extensive. Meditation boosts your overall wellness and energy levels, aids memory and focus, relieves stress and anxiety, improves attitude and outlook, and so much more. What do you need to shift in your life? Our meditation experts will help you design your personal plan to facilitate that shift.
The top reason people don’t meditate is because they don’t know how.
We’ve got you covered. We can teach you how. We can also introduce you to the different types of meditation and help you find the right type for you.
Of the people who don’t currently meditate, more than half have tried it in the past.
Sometimes new clients tell us that their previous meditation experiences weren’t so awesome. We know that while meditation is for everyone, it’s not always as easy as sitting in silence for some minutes. And, while apps are convenient and helpful, they don’t provide personalized instruction and guidance.
Meditation is not exactly what you think it is.
A common image of meditation is of a person sitting on the floor cross-legged with pointer fingers and thumbs making a circle chanting Om. Bliss, relaxation, and peace on the face. All of these images can be accurate in some way, but there’s so much more.
There are many misconceptions and myths about meditation. After 7 years of being in business, and decades of combined teaching experience, we have heard them all.
If you can’t make your brain stop creating thoughts . . . don’t worry, you can meditate.
If you got bored while trying to meditate before . . . we can help.
If you feel like you don’t have time . . . try it for a while and see how more things start to get done with less stress.
If you tried before and stopped . . . we have designed a program that creates immediate meditation success. We will inspire you, educate you, and create meditation experiences that help you see that you, too can enjoy the multitude of meditation benefits
