The course formal duration is 8 weeks however you have lifetime access to the course material access via the Kajabi app. So you can access it anytime, anywhere.

The course asks you to conduct a daily formal mindfulness practice (meditation) each day. Your practice can be 3 minutes, or it could be 45 minutes - your choice. 

You will also take moments during your day for informal mindfulness practices. For example, there are prompts to write in your journal to deepen your contemplations, and extract your own insights. 

It's an occupational hazard of meditations that sleep may follow.

The first step of meditation is to relax the physical body. This might very quickly translate to falling asleep, particularly if you've been used to being 'on' during every moment of the day.

However, the practice of  mindfulness is more about  'falling awake', rather than zoning out or falling asleep.

Don't worry, the more you meditate the less likely you are to fall asleep. 

With practice - and time, you're training your attention to BE in your present moment experience (rather than being hazy or dull).

For example, during a meditation you might be asked to remain aware of your body, conscious of physical sensations as they unfold. And do your best to keep your attention on that.

With practice, you will start noticing the finer (subtler) details of your moment-by-moment experience. This is the mind waking up.

So in the beginning (and sometimes further along!) it's natural to fall asleep. Remember though, it's just part of the path to waking up.

It's quite common that meditation is considered a practice that we either get 'right' or 'wrong'. Something that we're 'good' or 'bad' at.

Or we mistake it for something we 'do' where we have no thoughts. 

Or it's some 'zone' we need to be in for it to be successful.

These are myths!

The act of meditating has no objective other than to become familiar with your own mind.

There's no place to go or be, no striving, no enlightenment to be sought. 

Rather, meditation is a simple act of training attention, combined with cultivating beneficial qualities along the way such as non-striving, acceptance and compassion.

This simplicity of the practice gives rise to insight.

By-products of the practice include relaxation, stress-reduction and much more.

It's natural for mind to wander - it's a natural part of what the mind is designed to do.

It's the act of noticing where the mind's attention is at any given moment, and returning the attention to the focus of the practice, that is the actual practice.

In meditation, you are cultivating awareness and presence which are core elements of mindfulness.
