Overcoming Obstacles to Meditation

A Free 90-Minute Class With Dr. Lorin Roche
You're Not Failing, You Just Need a New Map
Millions of people meditate, but many believe they are failing at it. In reality, meditation is working perfectly—you're just experiencing it differently than you expected.
Imagine if someone went for a strenuous workout, then later felt sore and thought, "I must have failed." Or if they took a hike, started sweating, and concluded, "I must not be good at hiking." Meditation is the same way.
When you relax into meditation, your body seizes the opportunity to heal, restore, and release emotions. You may feel unexpected sensations, deep peace, or even waves of laughter or tears. These are all natural.
As a meditation teacher for over 55 years, I constantly hear people think they have failed when, in fact, they are doing fine.
Meditation is working—you’re just experiencing sensations and emotions in a way you didn’t expect. And that’s exactly how it’s meant to be.
This 90-minute class is for you if you are struggling with:
- Keeping focus and concentration during meditation
- Feeling restless or uncomfortable
- Have lots of thoughts and can't clear your mind
- Can't find the time to meditate
- Struggling with traditional meditation techniques
This 90-minute masterclass will equip you with the tools to overcome common meditation challenges, helping you transform obstacles into opportunities for a practice that feels natural, fulfilling, and deeply rewarding.
