Led by an occupational therapist and yoga therapist, this 28-day meditation experience offers a curated sequence of breathwork, mindfulness, visualization, and self-inquiry.
Adopt a practical meditation framework: premeditation and preparation, settling into practice, breath awareness, deep check-in questions, anchor work, and optional words of wisdom to foster present-moment focus.
Take meditation off the cushion by weaving breathwork and mindfulness into daily pauses, resisting distractions in lines and waits, and applying formal practice skills to real-world moments.
Explore an additional resource to support your practice, offering informational guidance on problem solving, techniques, and skills to build a regular meditation routine that complements your on the mat practice.
Focus on the breath as a reliable meditation anchor, revealing nervous system states and guiding relaxation. Learn to slow and expand the breath, or switch anchors when breathing feels challenging.
Settle the body, lift the spine, and anchor with the breath through the four parts: inhale, little space, exhale, little space, then check in on body, mind, and intention.
Settle the body and feel the spine lift, then anchor your breath with breath counting from inhale to exhale, observing the mind and returning to the breath when distracted.
Practice creating space and length through breath by counting inhale and exhale for a balanced rhythm, observe body sensations, set an intention, and cultivate ease with no strain.
Box breathing settles exhale, lifts the spine on inhale, and balances breath while mindful check-ins. Count four parts of the breath and observe sensations in the present moment.
Practice pursed lip breathing to calm emotions and anchor present-moment breath awareness. Incorporate Eckhart Tolle’s concept: the beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not your mind.
Use the humming breath to calm the nervous system and engage the vagus nerve, then observe thoughts from the witness and return to natural breath.
Use a mantra as the mind's anchor to build steadfast focus, from om to longer phrases. Explore Sanskrit and language-based mantras, sounds that scrub distractions and bridge breathwork with practice.
learn to settle into the present moment with mindful breathing, a body scan, and the so hum mantra, guided by letting go of expectations.
Observe your breath and space around your rib cage, expanding into the sides and back to stay present. Pair the breath with the mantra I am present to deepen awareness.
Begin by settling into a place, softening facial muscles, and observing your breath to calm the nervous system, then anchor your mind with the SAT Nam mantra, I am truth.
Enter meditation by exhaling to ease transition, breathe through front, sides, and back of the body for a breath cycle, then chant four-part sa ta na ma to explore impermanence.
Begin with slow breaths and grounding phrases to settle into your meditation space, then practice the four part mantra 'peace begins with me' to focus your intention.
Ground yourself and observe body and mind, settling into the present moment. Chant a four-part hum hum mantra of unity—'we are we, we are one'—and reflect on the poem 'Enough'.
Explore mindfulness as purposeful, non-judgmental present-moment awareness anchored by the senses, and apply this attention to daily activities like mindful eating.
Tune your awareness to the present moment with a mindfulness practice. Draw attention to touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight to anchor non-judgmental awareness.
Settle into your meditation space by breathing with balance, observe nonjudgmentally with palms up to draw energy and palms down to ground you, listening to sounds and the singing bowl.
Set your meditation intention and cultivate present-moment awareness by guiding attention from hearing and breath to scents, touch, and visual input, using a brief essential-oil diffusion practice with non-judgmental observation.
Practice mindfulness with a cup of tea meditation, using exhales to settle and inhales to lift energy, while noticing body sensations, intention, and visualization.
practice day 18 focuses on touch and sense awareness to ground your meditation, guiding breath, attention to taste, smell, sight, hearing, and the hands to cultivate present-moment awareness.
Practice a somatic body scan to ground attention in the senses and body, using breath to balance and shift from thought to sensation, arriving home in the here and now.
Learn visualization meditation by crafting sensory, detail-rich scenes, building a natural sanctuary, and using light and energy imagery to explore healing and adaptability to change.
Learn to settle into your practice with breath cycles and sensory anchors, check in with body and mind, and use visualization to find your still point.
Settle into the body and follow the breath to steady attention and balance. Then zoom out from your surroundings to town, country, and earth, returning with clear intention.
Settle into your meditation space, observe the mind, and gently label thoughts, staying present in the moment. Trust your intuitive self, follow its guidance, and visualize a calm nature path.
Guide students to settle into their meditation spot, observe the mind with curiosity, set an intention, and visualize a healing light surrounding the body that strengthens with each breath.
Guides you through a mindful meditation today, settling the body, observing thoughts with curiosity and kindness, checking in on your body and mind, and exploring change via a seasonal visualization.
Learn self-inquiry meditation to quiet the mind, hear the inner wisdom over the ego, and use breath, mantra, and stillness to guide daily life.
Arrive into your meditation space with a few breaths, guide awareness through body scans and mind observation, then explore self-inquiry: what do I need? Listen for wisdom over ego.
Practice self-inquiry by breathing and body awareness, observing the mind as thoughts drift like a blackboard being erased, and ask who am I to reveal deeper layers and intention.
Settle the body, breathe, and observe your thoughts as you explore your heartfelt desire through self-inquiry.
Celebrate completing 28 days of daily 15-minute meditations, and protect the momentum by returning to a routine, choosing preferred practices, and noticing how regular practice enhances focus and presence.
Welcome to YOUR 28-Day Meditation Experience!
This series of guided meditation practices were carefully sequenced to build the skills of meditation, improve your self-awareness and support you in establishing a daily practice.
Join me for a curated 28 Day Meditation Experience. Each practice consists of a 15-minute guided meditation using a different "anchor" to cultivate focus and presence. The practices are grouped into themes and sequenced intentionally to build your meditation skills. Each practice follows a framework to strengthen self-awareness, connect you to your inner wisdom and cultivate a focused mind.
The framework for each meditation consists of a: self-check-in, a themed reading, and time working with a specific "anchor" or point of mental focus. This framework brings together the key features of a well-rounded daily practice like a road map for your practice. Each practice has an attached PDF so you can refer back to the reading from that session.

Countless students have come to me over the years with difficulty establishing a regular meditation practice. One of the best ways to overcome that challenge is to have a teacher guide you and show you the skills of meditation. There are so many different meditation techniques and resources out there- it can be confusing and overwhelming to figure out where to start. Following this set series of practices offers clear direction and a progression of skills that will support your practice into the future.
In this course, you get access to 28 different meditation practices for a total of over 8 hours of content! Each module has an introduction video to explain the type of meditation we will be practicing, how it can be helpful, and any challenges that may come up. As you work through the 28 meditation practices you will learn the type of practice that you find to be the most helpful. You can return to those videos over and over to support your regular practice- as you retain access to the course information forever.
I also created this course as a way to show what a normal daily practice looks like. You don't need a fancy meditation room, a beautiful spot perched on a mountain or a special cushion. Each morning I make my coffee, sometimes I am still in my pajamas...I walk over to the couch and start my meditation timer. My dog Redford usually decides to join me for a nap.
Ive been on retreats, meditated at beautiful lakes, and stayed at ashrams, but it is this very normal daily practice that has done the most to change my life.
When we let go of what we think our practice is supposed to look like -we can finally settle into what meditation actually is :)
Continuing education credits are available to Registered Yoga Teachers with Yoga Alliance and for Yoga Therapists.
I have two other Meditation Courses here on Udemy that go together well as a series:
Foundation Skills for a Successful Meditation Practice (Free intro to meditation)
Build YOUR Successful Meditation Practice (an information and skills-based course to overcome the challenges of meditation)
I hope that you will join me in this 28 Day Meditation Experience- your practice will never be the same!
