What’s It All About?

People were telling me how much they wanted to work face-to-face with me, but they couldn’t make it to my live events – hey, not everyone is lucky enough to live near Sussex, UK 😉 But they still wanted to get their hands (and hearts!) on what I was teaching.

I don’t want anyone to miss out. So I created the monthly Soul-Sized Living Live Online Training Events.

It’s a virtual workshop, run with the heart and soul of a face-to-face retreat.

These seminars last for 90 minutes – including time for Q&A, just like you would have at a ‘real-world’ retreat.

And there’s more…!

• You get to ‘hit the ground running’ on the day…
  Your pre-event assignment (takes about an hour), with worksheets and a video, means you’re warmed up and raring to go, when the event starts.
• You can connect with others, before the seminar
  Get to know others who will be attending, before the event, so you can share your challenges and top tips on the topic, supporting each other with the pre-event assignment and beyond…
• Be part of the event’s group mentoring
  You get to submit questions for the Q&A part of the seminar both before the event and during it ~ and we’ll cover as many as possible during the Q&A group mentoring section.
• Link up with others, during the event
  Use the event’s ‘hashtag’ on Twitter and Facebook (it’s #soulsizedliving on Facebook and #soulsizedliving on Twitter) and connect ~ like you’re in a ‘real’ room together. 🙂
• Listen again, whenever, wherever, forever
  You’ll get an MP3 recording of the ‘virtual workshop’, for you to listen to whenever you want – forever. And if you can’t join us live, it means you’re not missing out.
• NLP and mindfulness-based exercises, to help you tap into the power of your unconscious mind
  You can join in with specially-designed exercises during the event, to help you change your life, there and then.
• Life-changing affirmations and inspirational quotes posters
  You can download printable mini-posters with the affirmations and inspirational quotes from the seminar, so you can stick them up around your home and office ~ or use them as the wallpaper on your phone.
• Revisit the workshop materials, whenever you need them
  You will get a PDF file with the key slides from the event, to trigger your memory of the most important techniques.
• Easily integrate the core learnings and techniques
  There are unique post-workshop resources, videos and worksheets, to help you integrate the learnings and apply them in every area of your life.
• Experience deep-acting shifts by enjoying a special deep relaxation or meditation, after the workshop
  Most of my face-to-face workshops include specially-created deep relaxations or meditations, because the deepest shifts happen at an unconscious level, when we’re fully relaxed ~ and I don’t want you to miss out on that!
  Really allow the techniques to work at the deepest levels (with practically zero effort!) by listening to the specially-designed deep relaxation or meditation MP3 you’ll get after the event.
• Connect with your Tribe and share the journey
  There’s moral support, Big Love and fun waiting for you, with our gorgeous online community members ~ before, during and after your ‘retreat’. We’d love to have you join us!

Put it all together and you have the equivalent of a 1-day life-changing retreat, but at a time and place that suits you ~ and at a fraction of the cost, with no travel or overnight accommodation or restaurant bills. 🙂 Woo hoo!

Of course, it looks like a lot – and it is – but it’s up to you how deeply you dive in. Whether you’re dipping your toe in the water or diving in for a full immersion experience, that’s cool. The resources, bonuses, worksheets, videos, audios, affirmations, inspirational quotes, exercises, techniques, insider secrets, short cuts and online community will be there for you, whenever you’re ready. 🙂

The 28 Day Meditation Challenge Shares The Insider Secrets That Make It Easy For You

 
It took me 20 years to learn to meditate.

Yup.

I read books. I took classes. I went on uber-expensive retreats and workshops, spending thousands and thousands of pounds. I contemplated my navel from every posible perspective, but still I didn’t have a daily meditation habit. And – what’s even worse – after the first 15 years, I realised I hadn’t even meditated at all. I had been being taught deep relaxation and guided visualisation, but they’re very different beasts from actually meditating.

I wanted to feel calmer, happier, less stressed, less anxious, more at peace, more in flow, more connected, less worried, less negative, more confident and to generally fall in love with life.

20 years. I’m not kidding.

Then, one day, while I was formally training to become a Meditation Teacher, I had one of those life-changing light bulb moments. I realised two insider secrets that made everything fall into place. They suddenly made it all so simple and easy.

And that’s what I’m sharing with you, as part of the 28 Day Meditation Challenge.

Interested? Want to cut your journey from 20 years to just 28 days? 🙂

 

 

Do you need to know more, before you decide?

Here are some of the shifts that 28 Day Meditation Challenge Grads report – often as early as the first week:

• feeling calmer (Mmmmmm! That deliciousness of not feeling frantic, the whole time…)
• feeling less stressed (it’s time, isn’t it?)
• easier to concentrate (reckon your boss might be interested in this one?)
• feeling less irritable (your family, friends and workmates might be pleased? 😉 )
• feeling happier and more at peace (your inner tiger needs a rest!)
• feeling more energised (woo hoo! You won’t be bashing your adrenals as hard and might even get to ease off the caffeine & sugar)
• getting more done, in less time, with less effort and stress (who doesn’t want this? It’s the ULTIMATE superwoman dream!)

And here’s some of what you get, over the 90 days:

All in bite-sized chunks that are easy for you to work through, helping you to create and build on your meditation habit, day by day.

Daily Messages – For The First 28 Days To guide you step-by-step through creating your meditation & mindfulness habit.
Daily Affirmations – For The First 28 Days To help you stay focussed and to inspire you all day long.

Twice-Weekly Inspiration & Motivation For the rest of the 90 days, you get twice-weekly messages, with more insider secrets, motivational ideas and – frankly – a bit of butt-kicking, to help you keep on track and really get the daily meditation habit in your bones!

It’s a fabulous place to connect with like-minded people, to share your journey, to get moral support, to get answers to your questions, to share your ‘light bulb’ moments, to make new friends and to inspire each other, long beyond the initial 90 days! It’s like a virtual meditation & mindfulness coach.
MP3 Meditations x 4 Listen online or (better!) load onto your iPod or MP3 player.

Bonus Articles Insider secrets and extra techniques, to help you go deeper, on sections that have inspired you, without overwhelming you.

Whatever your reason for learning to meditate (and feel free to share via the comments to this page: “I want to learn to meditate, because…!), there are two steps to the process:

1. Learn the nuts and bolts of how to meditate

 
and

2. Figure out how to create the habit

Most courses and classes concentrate on step 1 – the ‘how’. But here’s where the first insider-secret comes in:

Insider Secret #1:

I realised that in 20 years of studying meditation I had never actually meditated.

Whether it was twisting my legs into a pretzel or having to take on new beliefs, it was all about doing what I was told and every one of the teachers had their own prescription for what was necessary. But most of them weren’t actually teaching meditation.

It seemed to be all about drifting off to ‘somewhere lovely’ ~ but this wasn’t really meditation. It was a form of very relaxing and fairly enjoyable escapism, instead.

 
There’s nothing wrong with that, but that kind of ‘meditating’ wasn’t getting me to that happier, calmer inner-peace-type place I wanted to be living. Instead, it was allowing me to temporarily escape the stress and worry, but it wasn’t changing me, at any deep level. It wasn’t helping me to feel less stressed or calmer, outside of the meditation time.
 
It’s a pattern I have seen with my meditation students, over the past years, if they have done lots of meditation before coming to my workshops. Most of them had been taught that meditating is about ‘escaping’ and ‘disconnecting’ and ‘going to a special place’ – anywhere but here and now.
 

It was only once I started to formally train to become a meditation teacher that I realised I had never meditated before.

 

As I studied how to teach it, I realised that meditation isn’t about escaping from what’s ‘here’ and disconnecting from your physical experience.

It’s about opening your heart to living in this present moment – with full acceptance and awareness – so you can set yourself free from the stories your Monkey Mind has been telling you and reconnect with the essense of who you really are, with a big fat grin on your face. 🙂

 

That sense of stillness and peace that carries you through your day… Mmmmm! Delicious! 🙂

 
That’s when meditation can help you to feel calmer, happier, less stressed, less anxious, more at peace, more in flow, more connected, less worried, less negative, more confident and to generally fall in love with life – during your meditation and beyond.

And it’s much easier than you might think ~ when you know what works for you.

 

 

Insider Secret #2:

The second insider-secret I realised that day was that no one had suggested ways to actually create the meditation habit.
 
Sure, books and gurus had told me I ‘had to‘ meditate for at least an hour, ideally every day, and that I ‘should‘ do it first thing in the morning (and, er, who’s going to get the kids to school?! 😉 ). But the stuff I was being taught only seemed to work for yogis living in caves, monks in monasteries and people who had a huge amount of free time.

Woah! Did I learn to beat myself up over all of that – big time?!

 

 

Imagine this: what matters is how often you meditate. Daily for ten minutes will shift your life much faster than once a week for an hour – or once a year for a week.

Doesn’t that sound much more achievable?

So I decided to apply my expertise in ‘Practical Psychology’, from over a decade of being an NLP Trainer, along with my background in common sense, as a reformed mechanical engineer :-), to figure out how to create that daily habit.

And it made all the difference.

The 28 Day Meditation Challenge helps you to:

1. Learn how to meditate ~ by figuring out what works for you

 
and…

2. Discover how to actually create that non-negotiable daily habit, to get past fears, excuses, limiting beliefs and lack of time, to transform your life.

 

And, as a busy mum of 3 youngs boys, along with writing books, leading workshops, running a small farm and healing centre and occasionally even getting time to have a cup of tea, I know how challenging it can be to find the time and energy to start a new habit.

So I’m passionate about making the journey as easy and fun as possible for you. It is my honour to get to walk alongside you, wherever it is you want this journey to take you, if that’s what you choose.
 

 

To be honest, if not, that’s cool – but there’s no need to keep reading this page. But you might like to get my Soul-Sized Living newsletter instead. 😉

If yes, woo hooo!!!! Happy Dance!

 

Now, I have to be really honest with you, and I’m going to tell you something you might not be expecting to hear:

 
I’m not actually attached to whether or not you want to learn to meditate with me or with someone else. What I care about is that you get to discover how ten minutes a day can change your life. Please, just get started! And it will make a difference to your life this week. I promise you that!

But if you’re feeling called to dive in and make a start with me today, here’s what I’m sharing with you, over the next 28 days (and beyond!):

My biggest vision over the next 28 days is to demystify ancient meditation techniques, whilst combining them with an inspired blend of modern psychology, to help you get the results you’re looking for.

I’ll be sharing with you the secrets to getting started and staying motivated, finding time for your ten minutes a day, no matter how busy life is.

It’s up to you how deeply you allow the 28 Day Meditation Challenge to work for you. But in just 28 days, you have the potential to:

• avoid the most common meditation myths and mistakes that prevent people from being able to benefit from meditation
• overcome the fears that may have stopped you from making changes in the past
• learn how to keep yourself motivated, even when you’re not in the mood
• weave practical relaxation strategies into your day-to-day life
• discover how to find more time in your day
• learn how to easily handle common meditation challenges, that could normally de-rail you
• deal with your meditation excuses, calmly and effectively
• start to feel more relaxed, less stressed and happier
• begin to handle your emotions more easily
• find simple ways of making meditation practice – and its enormous benefits – an integral part of your life

Meditating is easy, when you know how:

Over the 28 days, you can:

• Meditate for 10 minutes a day (specially-designed meditation audios & full step-by-step guidance provided ~ and you get a new meditation each week, so you can try out 4 different styles, to ‘feel’ what works for you).
• Read your daily ‘how to’ inspirational email. Experiment with the affirmations. Enjoy the inspirational quotes.
• You might like to watch the bonus videos and read the bonus articles, for when you feel called to dive in more deeply.
• Take action, when you feel inspired.
• Ask questions & share your journey with others in the exclusive online community. You are not alone! Let us help! We can hold you accountable and give you moral support that might otherwise be hard to find in your day-to-day routine.

Need to know more, before you dive in?

 

The 28 day meditation challenge’s approach is unique.

It’s about much more than just meditation!

Of course, it guides, step by step, through the essentials of how to meditate, just as you would expect from a course created by a formally-trained, experienced meditation teacher.

But I’m going to help you go further than that – sharing my decades of psychology & NLP expertise (certified NLP Trainer).

In this inspirational, down-to-earth programme, the 28 Day Meditation Challenge takes you on a powerful journey to free yourself from old excuses, negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs, to enjoy the many scientifically-proven benefits of meditation, no matter how busy your life is.

Drawing from various ancient spiritual traditions, as well as powerful life-changing techniques and practical wisdom, this interactive online course has the potential to transform your experience of life – all served up with an upbeat tone, plenty of encouragement and a dollop of humour!
 

 

What You Get

During the 28 days, you will be guided through four styles of meditation, which progressively help you to lay the foundations for your meditation practice.

The daily emails pre-empt and help you handle the most common pitfalls & mistakes that would usually stop people from creating a meditation habit.

They can also inspire you with practical techniques to deal with stress, worry and emotions in other areas of your life, even when you’re not meditating.

 

The 28 Day Meditation Challenge is split into four sections:

1. Week One brings you a breath awareness meditation.
   The daily 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.
   
2. Week Two takes you into the realm of making friends with your ‘Monkey Mind‘.
   You’ll discover some of the tricks it can play and how you can reclaim control, without turning things into a war. The daily messages cover how to stop others from stealing your meditation time and how to get over an addiction to putting your ‘to do’ list, plus Clare shares insider secrets to fast-track creating any new habit and getting past the ‘meditation hump’.
   
3. Week Three brings you practical mindfulness meditation techniques that can transform your experience of life.
   The daily messages include giving you a magic wand to deal with worrying, spilling the beans on how wiggling your butt can help you meditate (really!) and sharing strategies for what to do if meditation stirs that old emotional pot.
   
4. Week Four moves into gentle mantra meditation, to help you make subtle, yet profound, changes in your life.
   The daily messages tip you off about the most dangerous word a beginner can use, two little words that could change your life, how to tell whether you’re ‘actually meditating’, how to find the time you need, creating a special meditation space and ideas to help you continue with your meditation journey.

 

 

Being told how to meditate is rarely enough.

Millions of people, over the years, have found that being told how to meditate isn’t enough. You need help to create the habit, too.
Past students on the 28 Day Meditation Challenge have discovered the truth of this – and the fact that just 10 minutes a day can change your life.
The 28 Day Meditation Challenge has helped them to finally achieve the results they were looking for.

 

Just Imagine…

Whether you’re new to meditation or rekindling an old habit, imagine…

• being guided, step by step, with daily inspirational emails
  
• enjoying a new, tailor-made meditation each week, on MP3 or optional CD
• having access to exclusive videos, helping you avoid common meditation mistakes
  
• breaking through old excuses and limiting beliefs, to make change easy and lasting, with proven psychological strategies in your Welcome Pack and daily emails
• turning your monkey mind into your friend, rather than continuing to fight and resent it
• staying motivated and feeling supported by sharing your questions and experiences with others in the members-only online forum

All this, and more, in the comfort of your own home, at times that suit you.
Are you up for it?

Want To Get Started Today?

This course is powerful, though fun and immensely rewarding. It can help you shift your experience of life, to feel happier, more calm, less stressed and more at peace. And it will lay firm foundations for any further meditation practice you choose to follow in the future. Many of the students who have done other meditation courses in the past often report that, with the 28 Day Meditation Challenge, “This time it finally worked.”

If you do the meditations and apply the techniques, then this course will work for you.

BUT: Reading the emails won’t be enough to change your life. You’ll need to take action – when you feel inspired – in order to make those changes. 🙂

The 28 Day Meditation Challenge has taken over a thousand hours to create and is based on many years of teaching (and still studying!) life-changing techniques. So it’s not a ‘freebie course’.

 

What’s The Investment?

Expect to spend 10-15 minutes a day on the 28 Day Meditation Challenge – that includes time to read each day’s message, as well as time for your meditation.

From the feedback I have had from students of the 28 Day Meditation Challenge, I know how easily it can help people make shifts in their life, even in the first few days.

“Love It!” Guarantee

To help take the risk out of your decision to join in with this course, we offer a “Love It!” guarantee.
It’s really simple:

• Try the course out for the first 28 days, to see how it fits for you.
  That’s 28 days of emails, insider secrets, life-changing techniques, meditations, audios and forum membership.
  .
• Let us know if your heart is telling you that it’s not right for you.
  If, after the main 28 days, your heart is telling you that this isn’t the right course for you, reply to one of the daily emails and let us know that you’d like to stop.
  .
• We would then arrange for your membership to stop and give you a full refund.
  No quibble, no hoops to jump through, no sulks, no awkward feelings. It’s ok.

So you’ve got nothing to lose – and a lot of de-stressing and inner peace to gain!
