The Breath & Setting Realistic Expectations

In this session you'll learn to start to focus your attention on feeling your breath. Pretty soon it will become apparent that other things want your attention: you'll have thoughts, you'll get an ache, you'll want to do anything else. And that's where the practice really starts. Find out how to cope with this very common experience that often stops people from meditating.

Defining Meditation, Awakening, And Your "Why"

You have heard it a million times, but what actually is Meditation? And what does it mean to be enlightened or to "awaken the heart and mind"? Today's lesson has answers to these questions, another practice in feeling your body, and a question only you can answer: WHY are you choosing to meditate?

Anchor's Aweigh

Learn what "anchors" are in meditation, and choose one from a couple options. Sticking with the body, today's choices are feeling breath or points of contact below you. Then get into the practice of bringing your focus back to them over and over again.

Les 4

How To Deal With Thoughts

So far we've only focused on the body as an anchor for meditation. Well there are three other foundations of meditation. After hearing what the 4 Foundations are, we'll get into a practice to help you deal with thoughts when they arrive and distract you in your practice.

Les 5

"Don't Be So Negative"

Our brains are wired to look out for threats and that affects how we think. Today you'll learn (or relearn) what neuroplasticity, and negativity bias are, and what effects they have in your practice of mindfulness meditation. And then you'll get to experience a practice that can help counteract negativity bias.

Les 6

What A Pain!

Today's lesson will help you discover the best posture for you to meditate in. And since what position you meditate in has such a link to how comfortable or uncomfortable you are, today's practice will give you a skill for dealing with pain and discomfort in meditation.

Surfing The Waves Of Emotion

As much as this world likes to tell you that you should stick these away in a box somewhere and ignore them, emotions exist all on their own whether you try to have them or not. Sometimes they can be small, sometimes overwhelmingly big. And the difficult ones, can make you forget the wise, loving person you are. Today's practice of R.A.I.N. is a way to feel your way through the emotions and find out what's asking for attention, so you can get some space between you and your emotions.

Les 8

"What The World Needs Now Is Love... Sweet Love"

Yes, that quote above is from a Burt Bacharach song. Today you'll be introduced to and get to practice one of the four brahmaviharas—or 4 heavenly abodes—also known as heart practices. Metta is a Pali language word that roughly translates to goodwill. It's not just for the holidays! This practice of wishing well can help in your rewiring of your negativity bias, and maybe make you feel good about yourself, others, and the world.

Les 9

Big Sky Country (Not Montana)

In the endless metaphors and descriptions of consciousness none is more over used but perfectly accurate than the description of it as a big open sky. In today's lesson, you'll learn what a no-anchor or "open awareness" meditation is, and start to get familiar with your personal landscape of consciousness.

Les 10

The Final Boss

Who are you? Who is reading this text right now? What is your true nature? These might seem like big ethereal, philosophical, or even stupid questions, but today's lesson will discuss them anyway! And maybe change your mind about who you are. You'll finish up this course with a practice of trying to EXPERIENCE who/what you are at your true nature.
