A Sense of Fun

you can probably tell, I like to have a laugh. You'll learn best if you
enjoy the process. Meditation shouldn't be a chore, or a bore.
A multimedia online meditation course so you can learn how to meditate.

for reducing stress and anxiety, settling an overactive or overwhelmed
mind, and finding a sense of peace, whenever and wherever you are.
A quick summary:
Developed in Collaboration With The Melbourne Meditation Centre
When
you want a great coffee - you go to your favourite café. When you want
to learn how to meditate - you go to the people who know.
So to
create an amazing meditation course that goes beyond rote learning a
meditation script, I went straight to the big guns - Matt from The
Melbourne Meditation Centre.
Matt has spent decades studying and
teaching meditation. He set up The Melbourne Meditation Centre in
2005 and continues to teach about 1000 students per year. In the process
he has developed an understanding of the common pitfalls and
difficulties beginners to meditation encounter. More importantly, he has
learnt how to teach meditation in a practical, down-to-earth style,
free of confusing jargon or dogma.
Why choose this course?
So,
you've heard that meditation is good for you. You've looked into the
research that says it helps with anxiety and depression, promotes better
sleep, keeps you healthy in body and mind, enables you to manage stress
and focus better, as well as to think creatively, relax at will and
calm an overactive mind.
In other words, you are convinced that you should meditate, but:
This online meditation course allows you to learn how to meditate from the comfort of your own home, with access to a wealth of information and everything you need to make learning meditation easy and enjoyable.
The course presents meditation in a simple, practical manner free of extraneous beliefs, jargon or dogma. You won’t have to adopt a new philosophy or change your beliefs or lifestyle. And instead of introducing you just to the techniques of one particular tradition we'll explain and guide you through meditations of all kinds. This gives you the opportunity to find out what works best for you.
More importantly, you'll be taught the 'mechanics' of meditation — how and why it actually works. This gives you the freedom to adapt meditation to your own unique temperament, lifestyle and needs. When you understand the principles behind meditation you don't need to force or discipline yourself to meditate — you can adjust the technique to suit yourself.
The course is divided into six weeks, But you can go faster, or slower, if you want to. You'll get a comprehensive guide to meditation which aims to teach you the necessary skills from the ground up. You'll also have access to a range of guided meditations which you can listen to or download. You'll be introduced to spot meditations which you can use to de-stress wherever you are (in as little as 30 to 60 seconds), as well as formal practices designed for deeper relaxation, better health and self awareness.
Should you have questions about — or challenges with — any of the exercises, you can email myself directly for support. And once you've completed the six weeks, you'll have everything you need to continue meditating on your own.
I imagine that you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to learn to meditate, partly because the course will show you how to easily overcome the common difficulties meditators experience, and also because the lessons are designed to take you step by step, from short and easy foundation practices, through to the tried and tested techniques that can lead to all the benefits listed above.
You won't be required to sit for hours on end, or to master any esoteric practices, nor will you be required to empty your mind of thought or to decipher vague and complicated instructions. If you can breathe, or enjoy listening to a piece of music, you have all the skills needed to benefit.
Who is the course for?
What do you get?
The course is comprised of lessons across six weeks, each of which will probably take you about 90-120 minutes to complete, and provides a comprehensive introduction to meditation.

Read MoreThis course is jam-packed with information! At first it seemed like A LOT of reading, but then I realised there are voice recordings for each lesson! So much easier. I just load it on my ipod and listen on my way to work. So much more than just meditations. Highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn about meditation from the inside out.
