Free 5 Day Meditation Course for Beginners

Are you ready to experience the focus, concentration, and self awareness that can be yours with only 10 minutes of meditation every day?

Meditation is so effective why don’t more people talk about it when, and why is it that doctors prescribe Prozac, Paxil, and Zanex, but not meditation? We think it’s because there’s nothing to sell. If drug companies could charge your health insurance $200 for you to sit quietly and just focus for 10 minutes we think meditation would be on the shelf of every supermarket and on the page of every medical journal.

A 2003 study by Psychosomatic Medicine (Davidson, et al) used MRI imaging to show definitively that meditation triggers specific centers of the brain associated with positive emotions (the left prefrontal cortex).

In 1973 study by the British medical Journal Lancet showed that hypertension patients who practiced yoga and meditation for 12 months lower their systolic pressure an average of over 20 points are yet? But that’s a whole 12 months! You’re right. A New England Journal of medicine study three years later found that subjects who practiced meditation for only six months dropped an average of 15 points!

In addition, those who meditate typically report increases in concentration, focus, awareness, and happiness, not to mention reduced tension.

Maybe this is why a huge list of celebrities have turned their attention to meditation, including Paul McCartney, Madonna, Halle Berry, Heather Graham, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Sting, Danny Glover, Jessica Alba, Richard Gere, and many others. It makes sense. Whether it’s movie stars, musicians, or sports icons, the people at the top of their game are the ones who are able to live completely in the moment. In sports, they call this being “in the zone”. In music they call it being “ in the groove” or “in the pocket”. Psychologists and researches call this “flow”. It is a state of mind where action seems effortless. Call it whatever you want. Meditation will help you to reach this enhanced state of focus and concentration.

Okay, okay… so meditation is great for me, BUT

I don’t have the time

You’re in luck. The type of meditation we will be describing in this program only takes 10 minutes per day. Like brushing your teeth, or taking your vitamins, the big benefits come from consistency, rather than requiring a big chunk of time. And the time it takes for you to watch to TV commercial breaks you can experience greater joy and fulfillment in your life. Anyone can do this.

I can’t sit like a monk with my legs crossed all crazy like that.

You don’t have to. You can sit in a chair with your back firmly planted against the back of the chair. That’s it.

I’ll be too relaxed or be zoned out at work.

You don’t have to be a monk to meditate. Applying the techniques taught here will help you to improve your concentration, focus, and awareness.

I’m not religious front/I am religious. Doesn’t this conflict with my religion?

I’ve tried to meditate, but I keep getting distracted. As soon as I sit down, I start to daydream plan or run through a flood of other thoughts.

I’m not religious /I am religious. Doesn’t this conflict with my religion?

Meditation, though a traditional part of many religions, is not intrinsically religious by itself. Candles are used as a symbol and many religions. However, a candle by itself is not religious. It is a tool to provide light in the darkness. Similarly, meditation by itself is also just a tool to provide light in the darkness.

This is fine. It just means you are a beginner. The trick is to gently bring your mind back to your point of focus, over and over again, as many times as required. Don’t worry.  In Day 4 of our course, we actually cover typical obstacles people encounter when starting to meditate and offer practical solutions.
