Course Description

Meditation is one of the most powerful things that you can do, as a human being. It trains you to be in control of you mind and your emotions, in ways that you never knew were possible. It allows you to be happy just to be alive, even in the most difficult of circumstances; even when you're injured, or suffering a loss, stressed out at work, overwhelmed, depressed or anxious. It allows you to find the basic happiness of being alive, and that pervades everything else, so that you can deal with everything else much better.

Aside from just giving you that unshakeable happiness & joie de vivre, it also gives you control over your mind in ways that are hard to even imagine before you experience it. It gives you the ability to focus on whatever you want to focus on, which can make you extremely productive and successful in life.

Tim Ferris studied hundreds of the world's most successful people: billionaires, celebrities, athletes, bodybuilders, and scientists at the tops of their fields. There was only one trait that over 80% of them had in common: a daily meditation practice. That's crazy when you think about it. It's not that they were all super intelligent, hard working, good looking, or born into wealthy families. The single most common trait among the world's most successful people is meditation. Isn't that weird?

To experienced meditators, this is not a surprise at all. It makes perfect sense that the world's most successful people are meditators. Meditation is a meta-skill; it's a skill that improves all of your other skills. It improves your ability to focus, so that you can do everything else better. In that way, meditation improves every aspect of your life, from relationships to health, happiness, productivity, career... everything.

In this course, you'll go from complete n00b to at least understanding the basics of meditation. This course is Meditation For Beginners. It will help you to get a good firm grounding in the basics of meditation, that you'll be able to take with you into daily life, to walk around in a meditative state, and to form the foundations for your own daily practice. All within about an hour and a half of course materials. Very easy, very simple, geared toward you, specifically, the beginner meditator. This will help you be happier in life, feel better, be healthier, and deal with pretty much anything that life will throw your way. The best hour and a half you'll ever spend in the rest of your life is this hour and a half, watching this course, learning to meditate for the first time.

I'll see you inside!

Namaste.

Instructor Details

Kevin Ellerton

Hi, I'm Kevin! When I was in college, I was anxious and depressed. I was smoking a lot of weed, addicted to video games, taking a lot of psychedelics, waking up around 2pm every day. I was going out of my mind. Thankfully, a friend introduced me to meditation, and it gave me my life back.

Since then, I've traveled the world, lived in ashrams & monasteries from India to California to Thailand and Indonesia, built several successful companies from the ground up, made (and lost!) millions of dollars, started meditation programs in universities and hospitals, written & published meditation books, created Meditation Magazine, married an amazing woman, and just generally become happier than I've ever been in my life.

Of all my projects, I am proudest of Meditation Magazine, which is currently on shelves in thousands of stores in 20+ countries around the world, including Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and many more.

Kevin's focus on practical exercises makes this course well worth a look. There are a few places where it feels like he goes on tangents - but it's not to the point of distraction.

Yes, as a beginner, this course got me over the 'fear' of meditation as mysterious and time consuming; but 10 minutes a day---I can manage.

By Mariano Guerrero on 2/14/2022

It's recommendable for beginners who doesn't know about meditation in its life, overall the meditation techniques to calm your mind and body. Literally a experience what changed a lot my mental health.

By James Barton on 11/21/2021

No complaints about the presentation. But seems kind of short and lacking in content. Maybe, it is the nature of a beginning level course on a non-material subject, but I don't feel I came away with any solid knowledge that would help me in meditation that I couldn't have easily obtained from other sources

By Sam Rampton on 9/24/2021

A fantastic introduction into the understanding off meditation for beginners. I couldn't recommend this course high enough for anyone who is wanting to learn about the basics of meditation. Many thanks!

By Val Beltran on 9/18/2021

I have been in an emotional rollercoaster the past month. Immediately after doing the hard breathwork, I immediately felt a sense of bliss and felt like my lungs opened up fully. Thank you for such an awakening experience. Will definitely start practising meditation.

By Evander on 7/14/2021

This is a good beginner level meditation course. The content is awesome and the delivery is awesome. The instructor cleared all my doubts about meditation in this course. This is a wonderful course for all beginners in meditation

By Alexandra Stancu on 3/8/2021

Although I am practicing meditation for a couple of months now, this course made me understand better the techniques and I find very useful to meditate along with the course. If you are interested in meditation, you DEFINETLY should take this course. Kevin has great vibes and you could learn a lot about meditation from his ideas.

By William D. Clark on 1/11/2021
