Welcome to Meditation Basics Course!

Meditation is a rewarding and beneficial practice, though it can be difficult at first. Many people find it challenging to sit still, quiet their minds, and focus inward.

Despite the growing awareness of meditation's incredible benefits, many people miss out on its full potential to reduce stress and rejuvenate the nervous system. Meditation Basics Course guides you in unlocking the power of meditation to enhance your overall well-being.

The Meditation Basics course provides the support and guidance to help you bring peace, relaxation, and mental clarity into your life. As you advance, you'll experience meaningful transformations both in yourself and in your meditation practice.

Benefits

The benefits of meditation go far beyond stress reduction. The goals of meditation include:

• Releasing mental conflicts and becoming less reactive
• Training your mind to think differently
• Accessing inner wisdom
• Experiencing higher levels of consciousness

One of the great advantages of meditation is its simplicity. Just ten to twenty minutes of practice can help restore your balance and provide the spiritual strength needed to navigate daily challenges. You can meditate anywhere—no special equipment is required, just a quiet space. Even that isn't essential, as people often meditate on subways or while walking through busy streets.

Meditation Basics course is a four-lesson course, with audio downloads to guide you along in your journey to a quieter mind. The course covers how to sit, where to sit, breathing techniques, different types of meditation, and clearing the mind techniques, including guided meditations to assist you. KumariDevi is your guide, and she’ll walk you through each section.
