What's in the Practical Mindfulness online program?

The online study program covers all the content of the live program and more. It includes video introductions, guided meditations, excerpts from the book, plus exercises that are unique to this format.

Each module consists of between ten and 14 lessons. Each lesson consists of a video introduction (sometimes two), followed by downloadable documents that feature reading(s) and/or written exercise(s). There are audio versions of the downloadable documents so you can listen instead, if that's your preferred learning style.

It's easily accessible via laptop or mobile phone. Plus, once you have your login, you'll have it forever. That means you'll have ongoing access to the material once you've signed up for the course, so you'll be able to watch the videos as refreshers and use the guided meditations for your ongoing regular practice.

Lessons are between 20 and 40 minutes in length, depending on how fast you read and how fully you engage in the exercises. Videos are mostly about five minutes long; some are shorter, and a couple are about 15 minutes long. Total length of time that you'll spend on each module is therefore about 3 to 5 hours. You'll be able to break that down into shorter 40-minute or one-hour sessions.

There are two guided meditations, one of which has two versions: a 10-minute and a 20-minute version. You'll have continued access to all of them once you've completed Module 1.
