Discover the bliss of stillness

AWAKEN is right for you if:

• You've heard great things about the benefits of meditating but don't know how to do it.
• You've tried meditating before but lost interest or quit because it didn't feel like you were getting anywhere. 
• You want to learn how to meditate for real - the tried-and-true techniques passed down by teachers for millennia.
• You're craving tangible tools to focus your mind, calm your emotions, and clear your head.
• You're ready to awaken to a whole new level of being! 
• You want to expand your energetic capacity, connect with your higher self, and tune into the Oneness of life.

Meditation can be as simple as stress relief or as illuminating as enlightenment. In AWAKEN, you'll be guided deeper and deeper with practices that help you hone your focus, channel your energy, and expand your awareness.  

You'll get:

- 9 X meditation practices (3 each Trimester) 
- Guided how-to videos with step-by-step instructions
- Downloadable cheatsheets to help you practice on your own

PLUS a longer, guided meditation and/or relaxation each Trimester - just lie down and listen.

You can also ask Alexis questions about the practices at any time.

Yes! In AWAKEN, you'll be guided through progressively deeper in practices tailored to help you connect with yourself in body, mind, and spirit. 

You'll have expert guidance right in the comfort of your home to help you learn or deepen into your practice and discover all that meditation has to offer.

Benefits include a calmer mind, more confidence, better focus, deeper breaths, and more energy throughout your day. You may also find it easier to make decisions, that your priorities are clearer, and you no longer feel as ruffled by the small frustrations of life.

Absolutely! You'll be guided to deepen your practice and expand your energy and awareness. 

AWAKEN will gift you a clear monthly sadhana, or practice, so that you can explore the subtleties of your energy. You will increase your capacity to hold and channel prana, as well as hone your focus and expand your awareness. I expect you to have greater and greater experiences of Universal wisdom, and spend more time feeling a sense of peace, contentment, and well-being.

In the first few months, the techniques we'll explore include practices to open and strengthen the breath like Durga breath and Kapalabati. Then you'll move into practices to focus your mind and awaken your energy like Nadi Shodhana, Prana Shudhi, and a japa japa. As we continue, you'll discover more subtle and refined practices traditionally taught only in person.

There are as many styles of meditation as there are stars! Well, maybe not really, but sometimes it feels that way :-) 

You'll receive a mix of styles in AWAKEN, though the main focus will be yogic meditation.

When I discovered yogic meditation, it was like finally having a map after wandering lost for years! This style specializes in building your skills step-by-step, so that you can systematically develop your focus, expand your awareness, and increase your energetic capacity. Translation: clear your mind, be more present, and feel more centered.

In my experience, yogic meditation works when nothing else does, because the practices work with your mind to help harness and focus its incredible power, instead of asking your mind to stop thinking and be empty. You'll deepen into stillness, not fight to create it.

On this journey, you'll learn hands-on techniques shared with me by my teacher Swami Shantimurti Saraswati, who learned them from his teacher Swami Satyananda.

These aren't just feel-good guided relaxations. You'll learn tried-and-true methods to help you navigate being human and awaken you to your highest state of consciousness.

That's up to you. On its own, each monthly practice is roughly 10 minutes. You may enjoy spending a few minutes afterwards in stillness.

AWAKEN is organized into 3 Trimesters, each of which includes 3 monthly practices. You can practice them one at a time or layer them into a longer practice as each Trimester continues. 

You'll also receive a longer guided experience / relaxation (~ 20 minutes) each Trimester.

For example:

April practice - 8 mins
May practice - 7 minutes (plus April practice if desired)
June practice - 9 minutes (plus April & May practices if desired)
July - a longer guided relaxation or experience

I'm here to help! You can ask me questions in the program portal.

I have two fundamental beliefs about meditation: 
1) The struggle to get your buns on the cushion is just as important as what happens on the cushion.
2) If you haven't found a practice that feels so good you can't not do it, then you haven't found the right practice yet. AWAKEN may be your answer.

Creating time and space for yourself to meditate is no small feat. The whole point of meditating is to expand your awareness and accept yourself (and life) with a calm presence. But to accept yourself, first you have to face yourself - and that's enough to keep anyone from meditating!

Luckily yogic meditation is specifically designed to help you navigate the ups, downs, and side effects of being human. Plus, I'm well versed in resistance and am here to help you commit to yourself through your practice.
