Hi %%FIRST_NAME%%,
Welcome to the 28 Day Meditation Challenge. I’m so happy that you have chosen to dive in and discover how ten minutes a day can change your life. Big grins all round and sending you Big Love!

Thank you so much for joining us.
You will shortly receive your first daily email.

But! In case it gets delayed (don’cha love email gremlins?!), this page is where to get started with the course.

Please bookmark this page!

This page is always here as a back-up, in case a daily message goes AWOL or you want to quickly check out the latest members-only resources, so please bookmark it.

Important! Before We Start:

If you’re new to our Soul-Sized Living community (woo hoo! welcome!), then you’ll need to click an email confirmation link, before your account is activated and you can log in, after today’s visit. It’s a two-second step that means we can prevent our lovely community from being flooded with spam-bots… 🙂
=> Your login details won’t work until you have clicked the link in the email:

“Soul-Sized Living – Please Confirm Your Membership”

If you’re already a member of the Soul-Sized Living community, then your login details for all the 28 Day Meditation Challenge goodies are the same as usual:

User ID: %%EMAIL_ID%%

Please add hello@clarejosa.com to your email address book
The #1 question my team gets is “Where did my email go?”
Email systems are super-keen to protect you from spam – and that’s great. Unfortunately they don’t always get it 100% right and sometimes the daily emails go AWOL.
This is almost always fixable by adding hello@clarejosa.com to your email system’s address book / whitelist / approved senders list.
Then you’re practically guaranteeing that you’ll get your daily messages.

If you have any questions at any stage or if your confirmation email doesn’t arrive (PLEASE check your spam folder), please reply to one of the daily emails or you can get in touch with my team at hello@clarejosa.com and they’ll get you sorted ASAP.

I am so excited to see where this journey takes you – I really hope you enjoy the ride. Thank you for taking this step and I look forward to getting to know you.

With love, Namaste,

P.S. If at any stage your daily messages don’t appear, please check your ‘spam folder’ or your email provider’s equivalent – they will normally have disappeared into its black hole. Just in case, all of the messages are available to read online. The links you’ll need are in each week’s box, further down this page.

And Relax!

The best place to start for successful meditation is with deep relaxation. So there’s a bonus Deep Relaxation MP3 for you with this course. It’s called ‘finding your inner stillpoint’. If you’d like to download it, to play on your MP3 player, right click on the link below and save it to your computer.

Deep Relaxation MP3 Download

You’ll find the links for each week’s meditation download in the weekly resources boxes below.

Note: I don’t recommend listening to it online, because some browsers can take ages to start streaming it and, depending on your internet connection speed, it can start and stop at random points! If MP3s aren’t your think and you’d prefer a CD with the course’s recordings on it, here’s where you can order one: www.clarejosa.com/28-day-meditation-challenge/CD/

How This Course Works

This course is designed to guide you, step by step, through the first 28 days of creating a daily meditation practice. It includes key meditation techniques that work for busy people, with busy lives. There’s no fluff. There’s no floating. There’s no chakra-gazing.

But it does offer you the chance to make simple changes that can transform your life – as those who have completed the 28 Day Meditation Challenge have discovered.

It’s all about practical, common sense techniques, based on proven, ancient spiritual practices, to lay the foundations for whichever direction you choose for your meditation in the future.

Being a certified NLP Trainer and a formally-trained Meditation Teacher, as well as a reformed mechanical engineer, I have also included simple exercises and thought-provoking articles at key stages, to help you spot your old excuses and overcome your blocks about finding 10 minutes a day for yourself.

This is what makes this course work.

Being taught how to meditate is rarely enough;

Discovering how to create the daily habit is what makes the difference between a ‘nice idea’ and a life-changing experience.

It’s important to work through this course, reading each day’s message in turn, because the daily messages build on each other, to help you create strong foundations for your meditation practice.

If you miss a day, that’s ok. Just pick up where you left off. If you want to repeat a day, that’s fine too. If it takes you longer than 28 days to complete the challenge, that’s fine. The main thing is that you do it.

The people who find that this 28 day challenge created deep-acting shifts for them are those who read each day’s message and worked through the meditations and exercises in the order in which they are presented.

Are you ready to get started?

I’m really looking forward to sharing this journey with you. Thank you for joining in!

If you have any questions at any time, please email hello@clarejosa.com to get in touch with a member of my team – or you can reply to any of your daily emails.

Namaste,

Here Are Your Weekly Resources

Here’s a list of all of the goodies for each week of the course – it includes each week’s meditation MP3, each day’s messages in an online version (in case the emails get stolen by Gremlins!) and the bonus articles and discussion forum threads that help you to make the most of your 28 days.

Week One: Breath Awareness

In week one, we lay the foundations for your meditation and mindfulness practice. Your week one meditation gets you started with one of the most simple – and yet most effective – techniques around: Breath awareness. It’s not just a wonderful meditation technique, it’s also a great way of de-stressing and coming back to the ‘here and now’, at any time of day.

The recording (see below) guides you through this ancient practice, so you can just relax and enjoy it!

This week’s messages cover busting the #1 meditation myth, how to sit comfortably to meditate, handling your meditation excuses, how to ‘magically’ find more time and how to keep the momentum going.

Week One Meditation: Breath Awareness

To download the week one breath awareness meditation, right click on the link below and choose ‘save as’ (or similar) to download it to your computer / MP3 player.

Day 2: Are you sitting comfortably?
Day 3: What Are Your Favourite Meditation Excuses?
