"Instructor explained meditation in easy to understand terms. I always thought meditation was some complex process and you had to get your body in state and do hours of practice but the method he trained us on is much more simple and easy!"

-Gerard DeSousa

"Outstanding course for a beginner. I'm going to take it again."

-Bob Klug

"Excellent course because instructor is very knowledgeable and he presented this topic in a very clear and easy way to understand."

-Pawan Babbar

"I enjoyed the first run through of the course. What's different about this course is setting early expectations. It breaks down the process into much smaller pieces to better get the process of meditation started. I am going to continue to follow the guidelines of this course and give it and me time to establish a solid 10 minute practice of meditation"
