What our students say:
Everything began with my birthday. To be exact, two weeks prior to it I found Dada's video on Youtube, an introduction to meditation. I watched it and felt how harmonious and calm he was. I also wanted to be more harmonious. So I started watching more of his videos, signed up for the mailing list. I became a vegetarian a week later. I've stopped eating pork a long time ago, but there was something missing to stop consuming animals. Also, after my first attempts, I felt such bliss! Indescribable. I am practicing to this day, and it's been over a year now.

I have searched Youtube for spiritual inspiration and fortunately (one year ago) found the basic course of Meditationsteps. I had only attended 2 Hatha yoga courses before and the practice of meditation was still very new to me. But the basic course boosted my experience big time. I learned to interconnections between physical postures (aka asanas) sound (mantra recitation) and focus. It perfectly layed the foundation for my future practice.
Even today when I return to some the basic course videos I catch a new nuance which improves my experience overall.
Definitely a worthwhile investment of time and energy !

This happened to cross my path I have been watching it all day, so much useful information. I've been researching things throughout the last 4 years and this is by far one of my favorite things I have found.

Meditation Steps is a high-quality educational project. It is not just a study of meditation, but a comprehensive development in different areas of life. I am grateful to the project team for the inspiration that they give me and many thousands of others. I recommend.

Been looking for a long time for a good meditation course and videos. Love this site. Learnt so much and so much yet to learn. I keep listening to it again and again every few months and feel my understanding deepen. Thank you
Jaswant Singh
I'm still a "baby" in meditation yoga, but I'm already noticing amazing things that are happening to me. Previously I had to resort to external sources to maintain a positive attitude: listen to music, watch a movie, talk to interesting people, read a book, tidy up around me, etc. In other words, I had to attract positive microvitas into my life. Nowadays, my own abilities are enough. I heard it so many times that there is a huge potential within every person, and that it is possible to help yourself in any situation. But I had no idea how to reach this potential… Thank you to meditation lessons! Independence from external factors is awesome!
Lida Svintsova
Previously I worked on myself with the help of a psychologist for two and a half years, attended different trainings and one-on-one's. I now understand that I can do all of that myself with the help of meditation and yoga. I've made very noticeable progress during the first year, changed a lot within, started looking at things deeper, got rid of many fears and complexes, became more self-confident and also more kind. I am now almost constantly in a good mood, and even if there is a disbalance, I recover quickly. I now control my anger and other negative emotions. Meditating regularly, for the first time in my life, I felt a loving atmosphere, and it started to transform my psyche in a very positive way. I stopped being greedy, became more generous and I started feeling very good when helping someone. Thank you to the Meditation Lessons project.

Benefits of Meditation
Concentration
Concentration is a special state of mind, where one experiences clarity, the heightened level of energy, intellectual productivity, and original ideas. Chaotic thinking wanes and one acquires a significant degree of control over emotions. As a result, one will have a well-measured decision-making process, less wastage of energy on trifles and dedication to achieve one's objectives.

Average people seldom utilize more than a few percent of their potential because an untrained mind cannot make use of this state. Meditation is the easiest way to enter into the state of concentration: practice it for 20 minutes in the morning, and your entire day will be more efficient.
Creativity and Intuition
Meditation is also called "intuitive practice" because it leads the mind to the deepest frontiers of knowing. When one has managed to silence the turbulent sea of superficial thoughts, one is accessing a variety of new faculties collectively known as intuition. Intuition is the core element of every creativity and ingenuity.

By exercising and developing deeper layers of mind, we acquire a subtle appreciation of art and poetry, a capacity to easily catch new ideas, to understand philosophy, remarkable flair in solving day to day problems and an ability to live ahead of time.
Brightness of life and relationships
The brilliance of life depends on the amount of internal energy. Children, having greatest amount of vitality, are experiencing the world in a very bright way. This brightness also depends on the ability to perceive, which is greatest when the mind is serene and concentrated. For example, pursuing the ultimate state of concentration, people are practicing extreme sports, because only in this state one is able to experience greatest depths of life.

Meditation enhances internal energy, brings the brain into the state of concentration, and also provides a quality rest for body and mind. As a result, one has a sharper sense of the ambiance, moods, joys and sorrows of other people, this leads to deeper understanding and ability to create stronger relationships and to correct emerging problems at their initial stage.
Health
It is rightly said that all diseases originate in the mind. Painful mental states in due time are transformed into physical maladies. Meditation reverses this process. It triggers up the relaxation response: the breath and heartbeat slow down, the production of stress hormones is reduced, and the brain starts to produce happiness hormones.

The state of peaceful joyfulness is a natural state of the mind. Unpleasant mental experiences are arising due to negligence towards the inner psycho-spiritual needs. Even a gold vessel needs polishing every now and then. The cleaning will reveal its true nature. When you have done a proper maintenance for the mind, i. e., your meditation practice, your real nature, that is, the state of inner joy and peaceful happiness will be revealed. Meditation improves one's nature, by removing unnatural sediments of the mind.
