Get Your Sit Together is a 28-day meditation online course helping you to set up the habit of meditating daily.

<p><em><strong><strong>Get Your Sit Together: 28 Days to Develop a Rock-Solid Daily Meditation Habit</strong></strong></em> is a 28-day meditation event helping you to set up the habit of meditating daily.</p><p>Bodhipaksa created this program out of his own struggles to keep his practice regular. Knowing that meditation improved the quality of his life immensely, he kept trying to meditate every day, only to find that he'd start missing days. Researching the science of motivation and of habit-formation, he evolved the "Get Your Sit Together" course.</p><p>"It was amazing not just seeing myself turn into a rock-solid daily meditator, but seeing it in others as well. Hearing from people who had meditated for 100, 300, 1000, 4000 days in a row was so gratifying."</p><p>We all know meditation is good for us. Studies have shown that meditating makes us happier, is good for our health, protects our brains from aging, helps reduce pain, stress, and depression, and even boosts our intelligence. Knowing all this, though, is not enough, and it’s not easy to set up a regular meditation practice. <em><em>But we’re here to help you</em></em>!</p><p>This course explores the principles involved in overcoming resistance and procrastination, and in creating and sustaining the positive habit of regular meditation. On the way, it debunks the myth that willpower is what you need to establish a regular meditation practice. What it comes down to is strategies and tools, and this course will offer you many of those, to the point where it's easier to meditate every day than it is to miss a day.</p><p>Whether you're a complete beginner to meditation or someone who's had difficulty establishing a regular meditation practice, we can help you get your sit together!</p><h3>Course benefits</h3><p>This course will help you to:</p><ul><li>Get beyond the resistance that stops you from establishing and sticking to a healthy lifestyle</li><li>Employ a variety of support strategies that will help you stick to your positive intentions</li><li>Drop self-criticism and instead focus on motivating yourself through emotional rewards</li><li>Develop confidence in your ability to set up the habit of meditating daily</li><li>Change your self-view so that you let go of limiting ways of seeing yourself</li><li>Have a greater sense of being in control of your own life</li></ul><h3>Course format</h3><p>Clear, practical and down-to-earth, this course will help you to transform your life in radical ways. </p><ul><li>You'll receive daily guidance in the form of an email from Bodhipaksa, containing reflections, meditation instructions, and suggestions for practice in daily life.</li><li>The course includes twelve guided meditation recordings (from 2 to 30 minutes in length — you can choose how long you want to practice for).</li><li>You can enroll any time up until the end of January.</li><li>As long as you hang on to the emails you'll have access to the course materials (including the guided meditations) indefinitely.</li></ul><p>This event is suitable for complete beginners to meditation, as well as those who have struggled to keep their existing practice going.</p><h3>What other participants have said</h3><ul><li><em><em>“It was a wonderful experience. For years I’ve been sitting alone, and this experience of sitting with a group, sharing and being together motivates, emphasizes the basics, and creates a community of focused people.”</em></em> Paul C.</li><li><em><em>“It’s been a delightful journey.
