Unlike just about anything else you learn in life, meditation's best teacher is yourself. This is a blessing for those wanting to learn to meditate online, but it is also a hindrance to every meditation student, for it means that it is sometimes difficult to get a definitive answer to a question that may be arising.

What naturally develops from practising daily meditation, however, is the skill of listening, trusting and developing faith and love in oneself. This is the beginning of a true spirituality.

The meditation society is non-denominational - we are a group encompassing all faiths, who exist to help you learn to meditate. We hope you use our resources to discover your own path.

Our Online course features a step-by-step guide for people learning to meditate, complete with guided meditation exercises as well as meditation music and meditation techniques that you can download and play.

Each class includes a discussion on a particular spiritual topic and a guided meditation exercise. The class and exercise is also provided as a radio quality audio mp3 download - just click on the link within the classes. For a $10 join-up fee Premium Members receive these in CD quality.

The classes including guided meditations are also available as audio podcasts in the "Learn to Meditate" series. Each guided meditation exercise is also available as our "Guided Meditations" video podcasts. The guided meditation techniques we will tackle include mantra, visualisation, music, breath and scene-based exercises. We hope you enjoy them.

Each class is set up for one week, clearly structured for you to meditate and work upon the ideas brought up in the class, in your daily meditation. But you can choose to participate in a class a day if you are in a hurry! Once you have signed up, click on the links on the left to navigate through the classes. You will be asked to log in with your email address to gain access to the classes. Each day you visit the site, you can move forward one class.

Also, check out our online forum to meet fellow meditators around the world, and create and discuss various topics.

We're sure you'll find the discipline of meditating rewarding and inspirational.
