Join Swami Divyananda at 12–1 pm for 21 days of guidance and practice of meditation. Starting with ten minutes, the meditation sessions will increase towards one full hour on the last day. Accept this challenge and invite your life to be fully transformed!

Whether you are brand-new to meditation or experienced-but-struggling, these sessions will address your needs and give you the tools and support to sustain and advance a meditation practice.

With today’s myriad outside influences, what means most to our hearts can easily get muddled and lost. However, it is possible to reconnect with the Higher Self and see beyond external messages through meditation and yogic practices. By calming the body, quieting the mind, and allowing for inner reflection, our authentic hearts can be felt.

During this online meditation program, you will have access to Live lecture and meditation sessions with Swami Divyananda at 12–1 pm ET on each day, plus a Q&A session on three Saturdays, Jan. 9, 16, and 23, at 1–2 pm ET.

In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.

You will have access to the video recordings for 8 weeks after the program ends, until March 20, 2021.
