Learn to Meditate

for beginners

There is no single right way to meditate. This beginner meditation course walks you through breath, focus, sound, and more, so you find what actually works for you.

You Sat Down To Meditate

You're not born knowing how to meditate. It's a skill you have to learn, just like any other skill. So when you sit down to meditate, you try to blank your mind of every thought. A few minutes in, your mind starts to drift to your to-do list, or what you need to make for dinner. You bring it back, and it drifts away again. That's when you decide you can't meditate.

Blanking Your Mind Isn't The Goal

When you try to blank your mind of every thought, that is a real meditation style, but it's an advanced one, and it's not where you should start if you're brand new to meditation. Instead, give your mind something to focus on, such as your breath, a sound, or an image you picture in your mind. Once you start focusing on something instead, meditation gets a lot easier.

Find What Works For You

Meditation isn't just one practice, there are many different types of meditation, and each one works differently from the others. Some are physical, like walking meditation. Some are built around breath and stillness. Others use sound, visualization, or focus on spiritual connection. This course introduces you to a variety of these types, so instead of guessing, you learn how to find the ones that actually fit you.

What You Will Learn

Skills you'll walk away with:

  • Why trying to blank your mind holds so many beginners back, and what to do instead

  • How to train your attention on one thing at a time, and bring it back every time it wanders

  • How to use your breath, sounds, colors, and shapes to build a meditation practice

  • A full range of meditation styles, so you find one that fits

  • How to open up your natural psychic senses as your practice deepens
