This helps you to get comfortable with the process and avoid feeling overwhelmed. You will be provided with a tracking sheet to check off the days of your practice as you move through the course. I am so glad that you are interested in learning more & deepening your meditation Practice. The techniques that I have included in this course helped me to go from an occasional meditator (that didn't really enjoy it) to someone who looks forward to their daily practice.
