My first meditation attempt was bit of a FAIL....
That's right! The start of my meditation journey was not easy.
Instead it was filled with a lot of frustration, impatience, pain, disappointment and inconsistency.
If you don't know me already, I'm Ash - post-corporate girl, stress-head, high-achiever, traveller, blogger, health nerd & meditation yogi.
And for 10+ years of my life, I've been on my own personal journey to learn all there is about managing stress and anxiety naturally, without medication.
When I was starting my journey with meditation, i'll admit, it was a bit of fail...
I wanted to reap the rewards quickly but had no idea what the heck I was doing...
I wanted to do it all on my own and "save money" by teaching myself, but didn't realise how much frustration, time and trial & error it would take to teach myself the ropes.
I couldn't get comfortable.
My mind was always distracted.
I couldn't focus.
It felt straight out weird.
I felt silly just "chilling" with myself in silence.
And I'd often spend the time counting down the minutes reflecting on all the things I needed to get done for the day.
Sound familiar?
This would often cause me to finish my meditation practice feeling even more tense and annoyed than before I started.
BUT several years later and after a lot of practical learning, making mistakes, building patience and getting the right coaching and guidance, I can proudly say that I've now got the foundations down pat.
Meditation is now something I can't live without and I've even built a soothing morning meditation routine that sets me up for a happy, fulfilling and productive day.
But in addition to the above, I have also noticed the following results from regular meditation practice:
- My stress & anxiety symptoms have decreased
- I feel happier and more content with my life
- I have a better understanding of myself and my body
- I am more self-aware and aware of others
- I have greater control over my thoughts and emotions
- I find pleasure and gratitude in the small things
- I’m not as impacted by others or their opinions of me
- I’m much less go go go all the time (well compared to how I used to be)
- I can now find a state of peace and comfort that I've never had before
- I’m more focused and productive than ever
- I'm more resilient in stressful times and able to keep a level head space.
If I hadn't found meditation or mindfulness, truthfully I don't know where I'd be...
Possibly still burnt-out, stressed, unfulfilled and miserable in a soul-sucking job, like the one I was in several years ago.
Please don't remain stagnant and unhappy in your life because it's easier or within your comfort zone...
Make the decision today to make one simple change to unlock a happier, healthier and calmer you.

In this course, I run you through the exact steps I took and the techniques I used to get to where I am now - a much happier, healthier and calmer version of myself.

7) How long does the course go for?
The course is generally self-paced, meaning you can work your way through it as quickly or as slowly as you like. If you have a high-achiever go-getter attitude you may finish the modules quite quickly.
The section on how to build a proper Meditation Routine is done over 14 consecutive days, but only take 5-15 minutes of your time each day. The final week, is then for you to do in your own time and is all about finalising and imprinting the routine into your lifestyle.
8) How do I access the course?
The course is delivered via an online program called Teachable. Once you have purchased the course, you will receive a login enabling you to access the course whenever you like, 24/7.
9) How long will it take for me to notice change or results?
To be honest, it really depends. Some people can experience results from meditation immediately. Whereas for others, it can take consistent practice over time before noticing any significant difference.
Scientific studies have revealed that on average, 8 weeks is usually the lucky number. This is typically the point where most people start to notice results, however in saying that, it depends what results you're looking for.
As an example, stress and anxiety relief can almost be felt immediately, whereas physiological changes in the body take more time.
10) Is my credit card secure?
Credit card security is extremely important to me. That's why I've partnered with Teachable to handle the billing to provide a secure socket layer, 128 bit encryption for your protection.
Frankly, your credit card data is probably safer making an online purchase through this secure site than it is at a shopping centre or buying food at a restaurant. Feel comfortable knowing that your transaction is 100% completely protected from fraud.
