Course description

This is a self-paced, beginner-friendly training that shows you how to end inner struggle at the root. You’ll learn to shift identity from the moving content of the mind to the steady awareness that notices it. When you rest as that awareness, worry softens, reactions slow down, and a quiet joy becomes your baseline.

The course is practical. Each lesson uses plain examples—email tone, meetings, family stress, bedtime scrolling—to make the ideas real. You’ll get three guided practice tracks per section (40, 20, and 7 minutes) so you can keep momentum on both busy and spacious days. The long track appears as an on-screen video session; all tracks are also downloadable MP3s, with two versions: gentle music and no-music.

You can ask questions in the Udemy Q&A. The instructor checks in weekly.

This course includes

• 9 hours of engaging educational content, mixing theory and practice (lots of short guided meditations in between lectures).

• Captions in English, Spanish, German and Hindi.

• Downloadable resources every section:

  • A short PDF chapter in clean, simple language

  • Audio companions for guided meditations (MP3): 40 / 20 / 10 minutes.
