A Simple 7-Day Meditation Course for People Who Think “I’m bad at meditating." Have you heard of meditation… But it felt overwhelming to even start? Have you tried it before… But couldn’t stick to it for more than a few days? Or are you simply curious? And looking for a simple, practical way to begin, without chanting, apps yelling at you, or feeling like you’re doing it wrong? If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Why this course exists: This course is my attempt to strip meditation down to its essence. Not the mystical version. Not the “clear your mind forever” version. But the version that actually fits into a real human life. I’ve been teaching meditation for the last 4 years, and I noticed something important Most people don’t fail at meditation because they lack discipline. They fail because they were taught it in a way that didn’t make sense for them. This course is designed to make meditation feel as natural as brushing your teeth. You know that feeling when you leave the house in a rush and forget to brush your teeth? Nothing catastrophic happens, but something feels off. You carry that discomfort with you all day. That’s what meditation feels like for me now. On days I don’t meditate in the morning, I notice it. And I usually end up doing a quick 5-minute meditation somewhere because it brings me back to myself. I hope that, by the end of these 7 days, meditation starts to feel a little bit like that for you, too. What you’ll actually learn in these 7 days - This isn’t about mastering one “perfect” technique. You’ll learn 3 different meditation techniques: All based on the same core principles All effective Each has a slightly different flavor Why? Because people are different. Instead of forcing yourself into one method, you get to choose what works for you—which makes sticking to meditation far more realistic. Over the 7 days, you will: Build a 7-day meditation habit without forcing or pressure Learn how to continue practicing sustainably afterward Understand why you want to meditate in the first place—the part that actually keeps you going when motivation drops Debunk 7 common meditation myths that quietly sabotage beginners “But what if I’m doing it wrong?” This is one of the biggest fears beginners have. This course is especially designed for: People who never meditated before People who tried and “failed.” People who feel awkward, restless, distracted, or impatient when they sit down It might feel uncomfortable or strange at first. That’s not a sign you’re bad at meditation; it's part of the process. If you stay with the course for the full 7 days, most people notice that something has shifted, even if they can’t fully explain what it is yet. And that’s enough. What meditation can be used for (and what it doesn’t promise) Meditation is not a magic fix. It can be used for: Relaxation and nervous system regulation Personal development and emotional clarity Reconnecting with yourself during challenging times For some, it even becomes a path toward deeper insight or enlightenment For me, it’s a foundational tool, one I teach all my coaching clients because it helps them come back to their center again and again. One important tip before you start: Go into this course open-minded and curious. Not trying to achieve something. Not trying to calm your mind perfectly. Not trying to become someone else. Just curious. You’ll likely find exactly what you need. If part of you wants: a simple, grounded entry into meditation a routine you can actually stick to and a practice that supports you long-term, not just for a week I’d love to welcome you to Day 1 of the course.

Julian is a psychologist and your meditation guide for this course. Meditation didn’t click for him immediately either. Before it became a daily practice, he went through years of on-and-off meditating, mostly with apps. Sometimes it helped, sometimes it didn't, and often he questioned whether he was even “cut out” for it. For the past 7 years, meditation has been a consistent part of his life. Not perfectly. Not in a spiritual or idealized way. Just consistently. Along the way, he explored and practiced different meditation techniques with monks in Nepal, India, and Thailand, spending time living in monasteries. In his private practice, after more than 1300 sessions and years of guiding people through meditation and mental training, Julian began to notice clear patterns: the same struggles, the same questions, and the same misconceptions coming up again and again. This course is a distillation of that work and focuses on what actually helps, what tends to get in the way, and the questions people really need answered to make meditation work in their everyday lives.
