    First, thank you for signing up for this course! Your time is valuable, so I've tried to pack as much good stuff in as possible. I suggest downloading Mindfulness in Plain English first so you can read along as you use the other resources.

    This isn't meant to be a full introduction to meditation; that would take much more than a mini-course! But I hope that having some guided tracks, a great book, some videos, and suggestions for podcasts, apps, and the like will help get your practice off the ground or support you as you deepen it.

    Please write me any time (claire@clairevillarreal.com) with questions, comments, or suggestions. I'll be adding materials to this course, so please ask if there's something you'd like to see!

Requirements

  • There are no prerequisites to take this course (but it's not a complete introduction to meditation).

Description

Do you want the benefits of meditation, but you can't get your mind to quiet down?  Don't worry, you're not alone!  This course is for everyone who wants a better relationship with the most important person in life: yourself.  Whether you want to meditate for greater productivity at work, to relax and unwind, or just to know yourself more deeply, the tools in this course can help you.

In it, you'll find:

  • Guided meditations you can download and use in daily practice

  • Stretches to help you sit comfortably on the floor

  • The difference between the outcome of meditation (e.g., a calm mind) vs. the process of training (e.g., bringing your mind back from thoughts again and again)

  • How to be gentle with yourself in each meditation session so that you enjoy practicing

  • A 70-page free publisher's preview of Mindfulness in Plain English, a classic text that takes you deep into the traditional practice of mindfulness

  • And more!

This free course is quick and easy to use, whether you're just starting to practice meditation or you've been at it a long time and just want a fresh take on topics you know well.  You can get started today on the life-long goal of developing a better relationship with yourself.

Who this course is for:

  • The ideal student for this course has read about meditation, maybe taken a course or two, and wants some help meditating more often.
