Develop Your Meditation Practice & Find Peace in the Present Moment.
In our fast-paced and often chaotic lives, finding moments of tranquility and inner calm has become more important than ever. For many, it has also become more challenging. The constant buzz of technology, the demands of work and daily responsibilities, and the never-ending stream of information can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from our own sense of peace.
This course is a step-by-step guide to understanding and practicing meditation, helping you tap into the incredible power of a calm and centered mind.
Meditation is more than just a practice; it's a path to discovering the innate wisdom that resides within you. Whether you're a curious beginner seeking peace in the midst of life's chaos, or someone experienced aiming to deepen their practice, the How to Meditate course offers a comprehensive roadmap to embracing the transformative potential of meditation.
Meditation Helps Us Awaken to the Beauty of Life Here and Now
Meditation helps us see beyond the constant inner dialogue of thoughts, stories, plans, anxieties, fears, stresses, and judgments, and allows us to come back home to our bodies and to the reality of the present moment. In doing so, mindfulness helps us rediscover the many elements of freedom, peace and joy that are available to us in the present moment.
It helps us touch the joy of being alive here and now, it frees us from our limiting stories, negative thoughts and unconscious habits, and it helps us develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.
That’s why author and mindfulness teacher Joseph P. Kauffman created the How to Meditate course—to guide you in learning the authentic practice of meditation, to support you in starting and staying consistent with your own meditation practice, and to help you find freedom from your mind so you can experience real peace in the here and now.
The How to Meditate course is designed to give you practical tools for transforming your life dramatically through the practice of meditation. Joseph’s simple-yet-effective practice guides you through each step to building a strong, personalized meditation practice of your own.
As each lesson builds on the next, you’ll be able to use this course to support your meditation practice and to bring the practice of meditation and mindfulness into every area of your life.
After taking the course, you’ll be able to confidently practice meditation, know how to systematically progress in your meditation practice, and know essential tools and techniques for completely transforming your life.

"I felt lighter, present in my body, and more open and aware than ever!"
I have been following Joseph's work for years and recently experienced a session with him. Upon connecting, I was put at ease with the gentle, kind, positive way he has about him. He seems to have the perfect blend of old wisdom and a youthful spirit that makes his work so relatable and calming. Our session brought me deeper into myself than I have ever been before. I felt lighter, present in my body, and more open and aware than ever! I am so happy to have connected with Joseph. Much love and many thanks!

"I felt a strong sense of peace and of clarity."
Joseph was a kind, receptive teacher with much wisdom. His energy provided a space of comfort throughout the whole session. Personally, I had never experienced anything like this and have much gratitude for having gotten a chance to experience it. It was a simple process, yet one that proved to be very, very powerful. At the end of the session I felt a strong sense of peace and clarity.
