Free Online Beginner Meditation Class – Course #100 

Interested in Meditation?  Want to learn how to meditate?  Don’t know where to begin?  Then this class is for you…

Lately I have been getting many requests from those who are new to meditation, on how to learn this wonderful spiritual science and how to establish a personal, daily meditation practice.  Perhaps this is because the widespread benefits of meditation are now well recognized by the establishment, or perhaps it is because humanity is in the midst of rising to a new level of Conscious Living.  In either case, this Beginner Meditation Class will provide those new to meditation all the guidance they need in order to learn this great art. 

This class is part of the Free Online Yoga & Meditation Classes that are offered here on Mastery of Meditation.  To learn how these Yoga & Meditation classes are structured, you can watch the video on the Free Online Yoga & Meditation Classes page or read the Free Online Yoga & Meditation Classes FAQ.

In brief, this page has links (which are in green) to all the instructional meditation videos and how to meditate articles you will need to complete this course and learn meditation.  You may start the class anytime you wish and to register, just leave a comment in the comments section below.  You do not require anything more from me in order to join and participate in the class.  If you are inspired, just start.

Learn How to Meditate | Beginner Meditation Class Overview:

This Beginner Meditation Class is, as title implies, designed to help you learn how to mediate.  The absolute key to learning meditation is doing it and that is the core focus of this class.  Although the course does incorporate several important instructional articles to help you deepen your understanding of meditation, the key focus of the course is to guide you step by step on how to actually meditate.

In addition to the instructional articles mentioned above, this Learn How to Meditate Class also uses free meditation instructional videos, from the Free Online Guided Meditation Videos, and free yoga breathing exercise videos, from the Free Online Yoga Breathing Exercises Videos.  The links to the specific videos used by this class are in the syllabus below.

This class will teach 2 very powerful meditation techniques, both of which have shown to be of immense value and benefit to the practitioners.  The first, Breath Meditation (or Zazen), is the heart of Zen Buddhism and many Eastern meditation systems and the other, Mantra Meditation, is the core of Hindu as well as some other meditation systems.

This course is designed for 2 weeks, but, of course, the objective is to to help you establish a lifelong meditation practice.  In this post I will provide the program objectives, details, syllabus and participation guidelines.  Please read through everything carefully so you will be able to get maximum benefit from the program.

    Dear Anmol,
    I am studying your courses for already about one month and want to thank you so much for all the help. It is really a pleasure reading your instructions and then try it out, almost if a teacher would be here. Still I couldnt find a simple question. How about soft, quiet music while meditating? I am still with the zen meditation and do it with music. is this ok?

    Again thanks a lot.

    Hi Anmol,
    I have been doing the beginner’s yoga class before the Zazen meditation for a little while now, tomorrow I will begin the So Hum meditation. I had to drop the alternate nostril breathing because I have a lot of sinus congestion. I’m still doing the other two pranayams. In a week or so I’ll start the next Kundalini yoga class. Thanks again for all the great resources, I’ve been feeling fantastic with this practice.

    Hi Anmol,

    I am new to meditation but have done some prior work, most of which has been listening and meditating to various CD’s. I have found them beneficial but want to expand my awareness and achieve better results by meditating daily. I have been diagnosed with MS, which I believe has been caused by a lot of stress and not dealing with issues. I need someone to put me on the right track in terms of what would be the best place for me to start and get the best results? Half the battle is having belief of what I am doing is the best way forward (hope that makes sense)Please help if possible.
    Regards
    Joe
