About this e-learning material

This e-learning material offers a gentle starting point for anyone curious about mindfulness meditation. You read about where the practice comes from, what it involves and why many people choose to make it part of their day. Each section explains a simple idea and then invites you to try a short written exercise at your own pace.

Topics include finding a comfortable posture, paying attention to the breath, noticing sounds and body sensations, and working with a busy or wandering mind. You also explore ways to bring brief moments of awareness into ordinary activities such as walking, eating or waiting, and how to keep a steady habit without pressure.

It suits beginners and anyone who has tried meditation before and would like a calm, structured refresher. This material is for self-help and learning, and it is not a substitute for professional or medical support.

Each level is unlocked separately with credits

  • Beginner

    285 credits

    • What you will learn

      You explore what mindfulness means, how to find a comfortable posture and how to rest attention on the breath. Short exercises help you practise noticing wandering thoughts and gently returning to the present moment.

    • Who this level is for

      This level is written for readers who have never meditated or who are returning after a long break. It exists to give you a calm, simple place to begin without pressure, jargon or any need for prior experience.

    • What you will be able to do

      After working through this level, you may feel more able to sit quietly for a few minutes, follow your breath and notice thoughts without judging them, giving you a simple foundation for regular practice.

  • Intermediate

    430 credits

    • What you will learn

      You practise body scans, mindful listening and noting sounds and sensations, then explore how to work with restlessness, sleepiness and a busy mind. Guidance also covers building a steady routine that fits real life.

    • Who this level is for

      Written for readers who already know the basic breath practice, this level helps you carry mindfulness beyond the cushion. It exists so you can apply simple methods during ordinary, sometimes distracting, parts of your day.

    • What you will be able to do

      You should feel more able to return to the breath when distracted, keep a short daily routine going and use brief mindful pauses at work or home when your attention starts to scatter.

  • Advanced

    670 credits

    • What you will learn

      You explore longer sits, open awareness and working with strong feelings as they arise. Exercises combine breath, body and sound anchors, and show how to choose between them when attention feels unsettled or pulled.

    • Who this level is for

      This level suits readers with a settled, regular meditation habit who want to go further. It exists to help you stay present in more demanding moments, such as difficult conversations, strong emotions or busy, pressured days.

    • What you will be able to do

      This level can help you remain steadier when emotions run high, choose a suitable anchor in the moment and respond with more patience, rather than reacting automatically during stressful or crowded periods.

  • Expert

    1,025 credits

    • What you will learn

      You explore subtle habits of attention, balancing effort with ease, and the trade-offs between structured practice and informal awareness. Reflections bring together breath, body, emotion and open awareness into one personal, sustainable approach.

    • Who this level is for

      Intended for experienced meditators, this deepest level focuses on refinement rather than new techniques. It exists for readers who want to examine their own practice closely and weave mindfulness through every part of daily life.

    • What you will be able to do

      You may find it easier to recognise subtle patterns in your mind, adjust your practice as life changes and sustain a mature, flexible meditation habit that feels genuinely your own over the long term.
