There is an old Zen saying that goes, ‘You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you are too busy, then you should sit for an hour’. So, the busier you are, the more you need an alert mind and a happy disposition to carry out your daily tasks and perform your responsibilities well. Meditation and mindfulness play a crucial role in reducing your stress and promoting a healthy and happy state of mind. So being busy should not be an excuse to avoid this, in fact it is all the more reason for you to meditate and practice mindful living in your everyday life.

We have designed our course specially for busy working professionals like you to ensure minimum interruption to your work schedule and your other commitments. The sessions are held only once a week with a duration of 1.5 hours, with the option to choose weekend sessions and your preferred time slots

However, honestly speaking, just 1.5 hours a week would not help you to gain the most out of this powerful course. Any skill requires practice, and meditation and mindfulness are no exception. Your regular practice is a must to ensure you reap the tremendous benefits of meditation and mindfulness in your life. That is why, we insist that all our students must practice for a minimum of 30 minutes a day, and would require a commitment from you in this regard before enrolling you into the course. So please consider your willingness, interest and commitment to devote your effort and time (at least 30 minutes) to practise every day before registering in our course.

Consider this deeply – is 30 minutes a day too much of a time to invest in yourself, considering the fact that it can completely transform your life for the better, leading you towards a more joyful, healthy and fulfilling life?

This is a basic beginner’s course, so there are no pre-requisites to enroll in this course, other than a deep interest in meditation and mindfulness practices and a strong determination to bring in an inner change in yourself through them.

We understand that you may be apprehensive or skeptical about trying out a new course, and that is very normal.

Your faculty is Janani Ravikumar, a globally certified teacher and counselor of meditation and mindfulness with over 18 years of experience in practicing meditation and mindfulness, so trust us, you are in safe hands. We request you to watch her teaching videos in our official You-Tube channel. These will give you a taste of meditation and mindfulness, and also a better idea of what to expect.

If you still require a demo session, or if you are an organization who would like to partner with us, please reach out to us at support@devshishu.com or +91 99622 85622.

We do not believe in large numbers as we focus on providing personalized attention. So, we conduct the sessions in small groups of around 25 students only, to facilitate a homely and interactive environment, where people get to know each other in a friendly way and benefit from each other’s and shared collective experiences. Therefore, you gain from the opportunities to learn from and enjoy the support of your peers in your learning journey.

We would love to offer personal sessions, but our several years of teaching experience in this field has revealed that group learning is far more effective and beneficial than learning alone. We strive to create a warm, friendly and collaborative environment that facilitates learning, practice, sharing of synergies and experiences. Our sessions are structured with several activities, games and role plays that facilitate interactions between our students and aid in peer learning.

Even off-classes, we create online chat groups that open up the channels of communication between you and your peers, so that you can reach out to one another and us, by way of sharing your experiences, and resolve any practical challenges that you may encounter during the course of your practice. All of these motivates you to continue your practice regularly and support each other in your learning journey. Hence you greatly benefit from the community support that you receive from your group, which you would miss out in personal one-to-one sessions.

Of course, we do understand that you might want to have a more personalized support, or share confidential or personal issues and seek help with handling them. If this is the case, please reach out to us for supplementary individual counselling sessions here.   

The sessions would be conducted primarily via Zoom or Google meet; both are popular free meeting software. As soon as you register for the course, you would be sent a recurring meeting invite, which you can use for all the sessions that you would attend. Before the sessions start, take some time to set up and connect to the meeting from your device. In case of any difficulty, please get in touch with us prior to the sessions via the group chat, so that we can help you.

Preferably, a good working computer with a wireless internet connection would be ideal for attending the sessions. However, if you do not have a computer, you can still attend the sessions from your mobile phone or I-pad if you are well-connected to the internet. Please remember to check your meeting link, audio and video to ensure they are working well before the session starts.

Yes, but very minimal though. Please ensure that you take the sessions from a closed and undisturbed space, and keep off distractions for maximum effectiveness. Ensure that you have adequate space to walk, lie down or stretch a little, as some of the practices involve standing, stretching, walking or lying down.

For the meditation practices, you will need an upright chair plus cushions / pillows, rolled-up towels or blankets. It would also be helpful to have a hard mat or bed on which you can sit or lie down when required.

Also, please bring a diary / journal and a pen that you can specifically use for this course.

No specific rules, however we suggest you to wear loose and comfortable clothing, that allows you to sit, lie down or stretch a little when required.
