Description

Does it ever feel like there are rules inside your head?

If you tend to compare yourself to others, judge everything (including yourself), and beat yourself up, you probably have thoughts like this when you try to meditate:

"Man, this sucks."
"Is it over yet?"
"Why isn't this working? What’s wrong with me??"

… which makes you want to quit.

Meditation doesn't have to suck. Even if you have a busy mind, meditation can be a rewarding experience.

With the right practices and perspectives, meditation can be something you actually look forward to, instead of something that frustrates you and makes you want to give up.

Plus with practice, you’ll become more resilient to stress.

This is the course for you if you feel like you “should” meditate, but want to give up every time you try it.

It will help you get into meditation with way less frustration.

You'll be guided through integrative health coaching techniques to help you develop the habit and figure out how to fit meditation into your busy life in a way that works for you.

You'll learn how to get the most out of your meditation practice as well as strategies to make meditation easier for people with busy minds.

Plus, you'll be introduced to concepts related to meditation and present moment awareness to help you see new perspectives on common challenges and frustrations.

Video demonstrations as well as downloadable MP3 guided audio recordings of the meditations are included. Plus, you'll get coaching tools to work through to help you establish the habit.

Are you ready?

There's a 30-day money back guarantee, so you really have nothing to lose.

Who this course is for:

People who feel like they should meditate
People who want to get into meditation in a way that minimizes frustration
People who’ve tried meditation and wonder, “Am I doing this right? Why isn’t this working for me?” or just want to give up
People who know that meditation is good for you, but it seems theoretical (not experiential)
People who want tools to deal with stress so that they can build resilience and sleep better
If you're an experienced meditator and have a consistent practice, you don't need this (unless you want to try the Kundalini meditation practices)
