meditation

Everyone should do it.

“Remember that meditation experiences keep rising and falling, like our moods or the stock market. Sometimes we feel clear, light, and elated, like we’re making rapid progress. Other times we feel sluggish or agitated, like we’re not getting anywhere…Just keep going without getting caught up in our shifting experiences. It doesn’t really matter what our changing experiences are, so long as we keep practicing and developing these habits. in the end, our experiences are like waves in the ocean, but despite their ups and downs, what matters is that we’re still in the water.”

— Daniel Goleman

6 week course: introduction to meditation for wellbeing

This 6-week program includes lessons you are able to watch or listen to in your own time, readings, guided meditations, and 2 live calls (and lots of links to podcasts, articles, and books to read that are option and will complement your study).

The course will teach you 2 simple mantra techniques, that you can start practicing with immediately to help you develop a sustainable, daily rhythm of practice.

We will dive into why meditation is such a potent technique to boost wellbeing, drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and eastern wisdom. We will also look at why sticking to a daily practice can be tough, and dive into some ways to make the habit stick.

“beginners find improvements in attention very early on, including less mind-wandering after just 8 minutes of mindfulness practice - a short-lived benefit, to be sure. but even as little as 2 weeks of practice is sufficient to produce less mind-wandering and better focus and working memory…Small improvements in the molecular markers of cellular ageing seem to emerge with just 30 hours of practice.”
