Meditation 101: Spark Joy, Peace, and Creativity in Your Daily Life

There’s no doubt that meditation is one of the most important practices you can do for your personal development. 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.

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. 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 exploration of meditation, which has taken her to live in monasteries around the world for several years. All lessons are designed to get straight-to-the-point and be applicable. A guided meditation library with Dandan’s most loved guided meditations is also included to further support your meditation journey.
