YOU ASK, WE TELL

To meditate isn't about becoming a better person, new person, or someone who does not have problems. To meditate means, you're cultivating a mindful sense of overall awareness so you may be more present, graceful and flowing with ease as you navigate the ever changing waves of your life. What that leads to is a reduction of stress and anxiety, improved focus and concentration, and increased feelings of calm and relaxation. Who you truly are.

We live in a societal environment in which we are always “on” and on the go with constant triggers from work, the news, our environment, notifications, to-do’s, tight schedules, etc - a constant bustle for our minds and bodies that leaves us feeling depleted, stressed and exhausted. Mediation is the perfect tool to help us manage stress on a daily basis. It’s continuous practice allows us to create space between reacting and responding, while also giving us the awareness to create a life of joy and fulfillment. 

Meditation awakens our ability to know, feel and experience our individual and universal existence. 

What’s more, the scientifically proven benefits of meditation are:

• Increased focus and concentration
• Increased creativity and productivity
• Increased emotional stability
• Increased empathy and compassion 
• Decreased stress, anxiety and depression
• Decreased inflammation in our bodies
• Decreased blood pressure

Anyone that has thoughts can meditate :) It's much simpler than one may think.

The best way to learn how to meditate and navigate your meditation journey is by the support of an experienced meditation teacher. There are many complex layers to the mind and many things that may come up as you explore your own mind through meditation, so it is always best to have a good teacher to help you understand, integrate and better manage your experiences. The idea is to have someone guide you and teach you the necessary tools to help you reach your maximum potential without having to depend on them. That is what we ultimately strive for with the BEtime You+ program. 

You will notice the benefit of meditation as soon as you start your practice.  Some people who are more stressed and tired might see more evident signs right away as they will feel more rested and relaxed. Others might notice increased energy and ability to focus. And that is just the beginning...the benefits of meditation continue to grow exponentially as you practice progresses. Keep in mind, it's a practice most beneficial when practiced daily. It doesn’t have to be a long practice - just ~10 mins a day will do. You will soon discover for yourself, that a reoccurring practice will everything!

Our minds’ main function is to think so by no means are we trying to stop thoughts from happening. It is the practice of being aware of those thoughts, noticing them without judgement and gently bringing yourself back to that awareness.

You will be meditating on day one with your private teacher. To learn how to meditate on your own with a self-sustaining practice will take you about a month. By the end of your first month with the BEtime You+ program you will be comfortable in your practice and will have attained the support you need to have a strong daily meditation integrated into your everyday wellness routine. However, mastering anything, of course takes time.

BEtime You+ will guide you through several different meditation techniques that you can then choose to use and adapt into your practice. Meditation is a personal practice, so with your teacher's guidance, you will find the techniques that work best for you.

Not at all! We all have busy lives and we know how easy it is to get caught up with them and slip out of your practice. We have designed this program so that you can go as deep as you like each week and still reap the benefits. If you miss a day or two, no worries - just get back on track the following day and you'll be just fine. 

Most common 1:1 hour-long private session range anywhere between $90-$250. We've created an accessible program that combines private expert attention and a full program that brings you loads of tools, audio guided meditations, reading materials, resources, along side a community platform with a library of on-demand meditations, sound baths, workshops and live classes. A month-long curated program for the price of a single hour of a private meditation class. We say it's a go!
