Description

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.


The Anchor Techniques are grouped into 5 Modules:


  • Breath Focused Meditation

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!
