Top 4 Online Resources to Help You Meditate

Meditation. It’s something we all know we should be doing, but how many of us actually do it? I mean, let’s be honest, it ain’t easy to find the time. And then there are the endless questions . . .
 
Where do I start?
Am I doing this right?
Is this even working?!
 

Meditation helps relieve stress. It creates a sanctuary of peace, enhances your overall wellbeing, cultivates inner stillness, and ultimately changes your perception on life.

 
Obviously, there are many compelling reasons to meditate. We need guidance to start a meditation practice, but the truth is some of us may not have the time to find a meditation instructor or the time to drive to one, for that matter. That’s where these online meditation programs can be a lifesaver.
 
Whether you’re an expert meditator, need more structure with meditation, or have never even tried it, these programs could be the answer to cultivating a regular meditation practice.
 

Here are 4 online resources to kickstart your meditation practice:

Inner Engineering Online

If there is one meditation approach that I wish all humans would experience, it would be Sadhguru’s Inner Engineering course.
 

This is not a religion, nor a philosophy or dogma. It’s simply a technology for wellbeing.

 
Saghguru says, “One does not have to believe or disbelieve, just have to learn to use. Technology will produce results irrespective of who you are.” Inner Engineering includes seven, 90-minute sessions and guided meditations. There’s absolutely no prerequisite required to try it out.
 
Major influencers like Arianna Huffington and Donna Karan have both expressed their deep appreciation for the teachings of Sadhguru and the Inner Engineering practice.
 
According to the Isha Foundation, “Inner Engineering provides tools and solutions to empower yourself to create your life the way you want it. The course gives you the opportunity to intellectually explore the basics of life using methods that are from the distilled essence of yogic sciences. The course imparts practical wisdom to manage your body, mind, emotions, and the fundamental life energy within.”
 
This series created by mystic and realized yogi, Sadhguru has been taught by him and Isha teachers for over 30 years. With this incredible program you also get access to the Treasure Trove which is essentially wisdom from Sadhguru in a collection of Q&A videos related to each session.
