Requirements

Description

Most people quit meditation in the second week, when the novelty has gone and the benefits have not arrived yet.

Eighteen short lessons designed to get you past exactly that point.

What you will cover

  • Sit for five minutes without checking how long is left

  • Anchor on the breath when the mind will not settle

  • Build the habit into a day that is already full

  • Keep going through the fortnight where it feels pointless

Who this is for

This is for you if you have tried meditation before and stopped, or if you have never tried it because every version you have seen looked like it belonged to somebody with more time and a quieter life than yours.

It is not a retreat, it is not religious, and there is nothing you have to believe. Eighteen short lessons, most of them under six minutes, built to be done in the gaps of a normal week. If you can find five minutes and you are willing to be bored for the first fortnight, that is genuinely all this asks of you.

Grounded Living is the part of my work that has nothing to do with the spiritual side of what I teach. There is no belief required and no framework to buy into. It runs in six steps, and every course names the one that comes next, so you always know where you are and what follows.

Where this sits

A note on promotion

This course contains a promotional element. At the end there is optional material about my other work, free resources and any current offers. It is separate from the teaching, nothing in it is required, and the course is complete without it.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is designed for individuals seeking to enhance their mental well-being, manage stress, and cultivate presence in their daily lives. Whether a beginner or someone with meditation experience, anyone looking to deepen their understanding and practice of mindfulness will benefit.
