Meditation 101: Doorway to Self Discovery

There’s no doubt that meditation is one of the most important practices you can do for your personal development and daily sense of connection. From reducing stress to enhancing creativity, from delaying aging to cultivating joy, scientific studies are showing how meditation positively benefits what seems like every facet of life.

Meditation is not just a way to reduce stress. It’s also a powerful tool of self discovery. It creates the space needed for you to listen to your intuitive voices and align your life with your truth. It awakens your childlike capacity to wonder and find the magic in the everyday.

However, the traditional way it’s taught can make it feel boring and heavy like a chore, and who has time for that? This approach sadly causes many people to miss out on the beautiful benefits of meditation.

This class shows how meditation can be enjoyable, simple, and easily enfolded into your day, yet still bring all the benefits and cultivate personal growth. It covers everything that a beginner needs to meditate deeply, from foundational meditation postures to powerful meditation amplifiers that open the inner doors to peace, joy, and clarity.

This class brings together the best meditation practices from Dandan’s decade-long practice of meditation, which has taken her to live in contemplative monasteries for several years. Designed to meet you where you are, all lessons are straight-to-the-point and applicable. A guided meditation library with 12 of Dandan’s most loved guided meditations is also included to further support your meditation journey.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

“I’ve taken many, many meditation classes, and this is the first one that’s so up front and simple. Most spent too much time going on about the amazing benefits of meditation without really delving into how to do it in a simple and understandable way that doesn’t make me lose focus. I don’t find myself wanting to argue or disagree with the stuff she says during the guided lessons. That might seem like a low bar to clear, but man, this is the first class to clear it.”
