Learning to meditate can be challenging and difficult. With access to the internet it gives you millions of results if you were to search meditation. Its just overwhelming and you don’t even know were to start. Then it comes to deciding what source to learn meditation from.
The millions of results can make this decision very difficult. I have been meditating for about 20 years and I have gone trough several courses, books, and how to’s on the internet and let me say, when it comes to mindfulness meditation schools, Live and Dare has one of the best programs I have every found and it took me a long time to find them.
What is Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness meditation is a type of meditation were you relax and focus your awareness on your breathing, feelings, emotions, and thoughts. This meditation practice promotes a balanced mental and physical health. It is a more modern version derived from traditional Buddhist meditation practices. Mindfulness is a western translation of the Buddhist term sati. Anapanasati, which means “mindfulness of breathing”.

Live and Dare-the Best Choice
Obviously I believe in Live and Dare. I meditate daily and I couldn’t see my life without it. Meditation has helped me overcome anxiety, worrying too much, and for me anger. I used to be se angry and I couldn’t control it, I even punched through a solid oak cabinet one time and shattered my hand. Yes, I had to get surgery and it cost a lot of money.
Now days I can’t even remember the last time I was mad and didn’t wake up with a smile on my face. My kids see other parents getting mad at their kids and they have asked me before, “do you never get mad because you meditate”. The answer is yes. Its nice to be in control of your emotions and “you” decide how you feel.
No Worries Nothing to lose

It looks like you have a wealth of experience to draw from. I have tried meditation in the past and I think the idea of one to one instruction would be very beneficial for someone like me who is a beginner.
Yes having someone to guide you is much easier and your less likely to quit. Thanks for your comment.
Amazing content. Although you may want to arrange your paragraphs into 3-4 sentences maximum, otherwise it gets pretty hard to read.
Best of Luck!
Azimi.
Thank for the comment and I appreciate the tip. Whatever I can do to have the users of my site have a better experience.
Zac. Great information. I have always struggled with meditation. It is fabulous to have all the information in one place.I will take the time to read in a quiet moment so that I know what the best direction is.
Many thanks
Stephen.
Thanks for your comment I am glad you found my site a useful place for information
Hi Zac,
Love your website. It is a very great resource with lots of helpful information. There are certainly a lot of products on the market. My path is somewhat different in that I have not used many products over the years. In the days of the cassette tape I used a few on the Edgar Cayce method, and on Alpha meditation in general. My interests are more spiritual, but I acknowledge that many people will be motivated by the mental, psychological and physiological benefits. The things that Cayce used to refer to as the side-effects. :). That is what is so great about meditation. As a tool or method, it is so very natural, and transcends religious beliefs, ethnicity, social status. age, and psychological disposition. I definitely will be tuning into your website occasionally to see what’s on the market. Maybe I’ll find a product suited to my personal needs.
Check out my website and let me know what you think.

Thank you I am so glad to here you like my site.
I have been hearing a lot about mindfulness meditation lately. The impact even a short amount of meditation can have on your daily life can be huge. I really like the idea you spoke about of being in control of your emotions and deciding how you feel, rather than being directed by things out of your control. Live and Dare does offer a large variety of courses, that is great! Thank you for sharing!
That is true just even 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference in your life, thanks for your feedback.
