Course Review: Meditation for Beginners

Reiki

There are courses that teach reiki, basic life support, first aid, achieving better sleep, improving health, energy, and mind. One of the most popular courses in the entire category is Meditation for Beginners, taught by instructor Ken Wells. The course has over 4,000 students, and costs $99. Meditation for Beginners has over 30 lectures and 3 hours of video content. The course has been updated as of October 2015, and according to Udemy, all that the course requires is an open mind and a willingness to participate and act.

Students in this course will learn to meditate effectively, and will be able to see results quickly. The relaxation of mind and body is something which affects not only ourselves, but those around us. Students will learn proper breathing and posture. They will be taught the ways of guided meditation, open awareness meditation, practicing mindfulness in everyday situations, and ways to avoid the common obstacles which stand in the way of those who are interested in meditation as a practice, and for some as a way of life.

The target audience for this course is anyone who is looking to get rid of stress and anxiety. Anyone who has tried meditation in the past, but encountered difficulties. Anyone who is on a spiritual journey will benefit from this course. This course, however, is not for those who are already established practitioners.

Health & Fitness

Most of Udemy’s health and fitness courses are in English, but there are also a fair few in Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, French, and other languages. There are courses for beginner, advanced, and expert. The expert section even features a video titled How to Perform Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, by instructor Steven Houser, MD. It is a course meant for otolaryngology residents, practicing otolaryngologists, as well as nursing and surgical technicians. The course costs $9, and has about an hour of video content broken up into 9 lectures, including a nine-minute video of a routine left sinus surgery.

Endless amounts of things to learn

So, health and fitness do cover a lot of ground, but if there is one thing we can learn from the wide variety of Udemy courses, it is that it’s just as important to know close-combat training as it is to know how to Salsa like a pro. Udemy’s instructors care about people and about helping others lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. This can be done using a variety of tools, whether hypnosis, exercises, acupressure, or natural remedies.

Staying healthy and helping others be fitter, happier, and more productive – this is what the Udemy Health and Fitness courses are all about!
