This course will provide you with all the basic instruction, tips, and guidance necessary to learn how to meditate easily and confidently. At the heart of the course are 4 guided video meditations, including Mindfulness Meditation, and a powerful mantra meditation from a 4000 year old Indian tradition. All of these meditation techniques are easy to learn and practice, as well as being very effective for producing a wide range of benefits. These benefits include: Relaxation; Reduced stress; Increased energy; Enhanced immune system; Normalized blood pressure; Improved overall health; Doing things more effectively; Accomplishing more with less effort; Increased mental clarity; Improved concentration; Increased creativity; Greater sense of emotional well-being; More harmonious relationships; Increased awareness; Increased inner peace; Gaining new insights and perspective on life; Being more in the flow of life. That may seem like a long list, but I can truly say that I've experienced every one of these benefits, and more. If you've been wanting to try meditation but thought it required a lot of work and discipline… or if you've tried meditation in the past and found it frustratingly difficult, this course is for you. "I just wanted to say thanks for the class. I have really enjoyed it. I have wanted to learn meditation for quite some time now, but have always found it so difficult. Since practicing with the guided meditations I finally feel like I'm actually getting somewhere. Thanks again." Cindy H. ~ Apple Valley, CA

MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS Meditation Shouldn't Be Complicated In this course, you’ll learn 10 very simple meditation techniques anyone can do, in five to ten minutes , to increase your overall well-being. Each of the 10 techniques comes with a guided meditation audio that you can listen to directly on your computer or download and listen to from anywhere you want. This is an experiential (practical) course that places more emphasis on the experience of meditation than on the theory, because I want you can experience the benefits right away. There’s also a section in the course that covers the basics of meditation --such as what meditation is and isn’t, how to sit, and how to build the meditation habit more easily. If you’re a complete beginner with meditation, you’ll have all the tools that you need to get started with your practice. Meditation has improved 80% of all areas of my life; I want you to experience all the same benefits in your own life. Science Has Shown that Meditation Contributes to Making Us: Happier: Meditation builds resilience (the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties), equanimity, and emotional intelligence. It decreases the feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, and contributes to overriding the negative bias of the brain and developing a generally more positive outlook in life. If you’re going through a difficult time, meditation is the one thing that can help you feel better, faster. Calmer: Meditation can turn off the stress-response and induce relaxation in seconds. It’s like turning a switch in your nervous system. Healthier: Meditation balances the nervous system and harmonizes all bodily functions. It brings the mind and body into a state of coherence, so all our organs can work optimally, and our damaged cells can repair. It boosts our immune system and facilitates healing. Smarter: Meditation improves cognitive abilities, such as memory and concentration, and increases our attention span. By calming the mind, it allows us to think more clearly and make the best decisions, faster. It also enhances creativity and our capacity to solve problems. More Attractive: Meditators tend to be more charismatic because they are more present and grounded, and are more understanding and less judgmental towards others. Their “good vibe” makes others feel good. For those same reasons, meditation also improves the quality of our relationships. You don’t have to believe it; you’ll see it for yourself when you’ll begin your meditation practice.

Lisa "I enjoyed this Journey with Sharon and learning the rites. Thank you Sharon for having this. I grew in my spiritual walk as a healer. I look forward to continuing my learning as a Shaman" Thomas Certification and Accreditation : Some instructors offer “accreditation” via external official-sounding bodies. The majority of these are fake. We call them Certificate Mills. The only thing the “Mill” wishes to see from the instructor is money (ranging from $40 - $1500 per course depending on the Mill) to pay for the process. They do not even wish to see 1 minute of any course nor any qualification an instructor may hold. You; the student is then sent to these places to pay them (more) money as the student. They commonly offer public liability insurance that you can get WITHOUT them and the fake fancy-looking Diploma. As you know Udemy offers you a certificate of completion at the end of this course. However, I am happy to offer you a certificate of completion for any course of mine that you complete. Please ONLY message me through Udemy when you have completed the course.
