The Foundation Course is the first in the Step Into Meditation series that presents meditation as a natural set of essential life skills. It takes a fresh look at meditation, brings it out of the traditional doctrine based paradigm and moves it into the field of body/mind awareness and psychology. It demonstrates how meditation can be a powerful self-help, self-development tool invaluable to anyone who wants to manage stress levels and get to know themselves better.

This three CD course takes you step-by-step through the process of meditation and puts it into the context of everyday life. It is a journey of self-discovery that is both enriching and informative.

“This is gold dust! The course is soundly constructed, straightforward and gloriously unpretentious, presenting a simple way to engage with the profound aspects of life without stepping into religious concepts. The language is really clear and accessible. It’s so simple and wise it could be used widely in schools.” – Heather Peace, writer and editor

“I have been listening to your Meditation Foundation Course every day for almost two months now and I am finding that the regular daily practice is making such a difference to my life, I feel so much more peaceful and relaxed generally and seem to be able to cope with stress better. Having suffered with ME for almost 14 years I have tried numerous meditation techniques during this time and can honestly say that I have found Resourcefulness Meditation to be THE best, most helpful (and enjoyable!) mind body technique I have ever experienced, thanks so much Linda!” – Tracy Street, Bedfordshire

“Your meditation courses have changed my life. I have always been very stressed and was rushing around every minute of the day. I’m a much more mellow person who doesn’t let the little things get to me. I take time to notice and appreciate life around me, and I now feel happy with myself and can cope with most problems that come my way.” – Jan Tyrrell, Kent

“You feel you are getting a massage for your mind, body and soul. Her method of teaching meditation is so accessible.” – Elaine, Surrey

“Linda has a wealth of experience and combines a variety of techniques and traditions in a way that is deeply healing. Her voice is warm, genuine and nurturing and she offers much down to earth wisdom you can use on a daily basis.” – Sarena, Somerset
