Lesson 1

Find Your Calm Place Inside Of You

Meditation is a way to take you to a place inside of you that always feels good and calm.   It helps you relax, let go of your worries and feel peaceful inside. To get to this peaceful place inside of you, all you have to do is use your breath and put your attention on your heart.

Lesson 2

Week 1 Meditation: Find Your Calm Place Inside Of You

In this short meditation, you will be taken on a journey to a place inside of you where you feel relaxed, loved, peaceful and where things feel magical.

If you find that you're ready for a new track before the 5 days are up, just move to the next lesson. What matters is that you're enjoying the practice and you keep doing it every day.

Lesson 3

Find The Calmness Of The Deep Ocean Inside Of You

There's a quiet place inside of you where your greatness, your best ideas, your strength, your love and your happiness come from.   You and your mind are like an ocean. When you go to the beach and look at the ocean, it looks like there’s always a lot going on on the surface.  But that’s not how the entire ocean is. There’s more to the ocean than just the waves. When you dive deep into the water, things get quieter. And the deeper the ocean goes, the more quiet and calm it is. It’s the same with you. When you stay on the waves of your busy mind, you’ll feel more unsettled, worried and frustrated. But when you take time to go to that calm, happy place inside of you, you bring those feelings with you to everything you do. You become the whole ocean, instead of just the surface.
