We often feel so alone in our mental struggles; the reality is that we all have crazy minds.
On retreats and when I teach courses, when
I speak to people one-on-one, one of the
most common things that I hear from people
is, you know, mental strength sounds
really great, but you don't know my mind.
It's crazy in here.
I don't think it's ever possible
for me to be mentally strong.
So the first thing I want to say
is, okay, if I had a penny for
every time I heard something like
this, honestly, I'd be very wealthy.
Look, the first thing I want to
kind of I offer is, I've been there.
I know what it feels like to feel
like it's just not possible for you.
There was a time in my own
life where I was depressed.
I was really, really
suffering at that time.
I had an eating disorder and I
was really in such deep suffering
that I felt like it was hopeless.
Like nothing could help me, that, that
I was just kind of broken or abnormal.
I was just one of those people.
But I did eventually start to
learn how to let go of a lot of
the suffering and the unhelpful
patterns that were disempowering me.
And I learned to cultivate skills and
inner resources that pulled me through.
And eventually I went through quite
a radical transformation, quite
a radical inner transformation.
And it's this journey and this
transformation that I went through
that really fuels my passion
to share this work with others.
So I want to share that with you,
because I really want to assure you
that even though we often feel so alone
in our mental struggles, the reality
is that the stuff that's going on in
your crazy mind is just like the stuff
going on in all of our crazy minds.
The human mind has evolved in a way
that it, it really does create a
sense of inner struggle and suffering.
And so you're not alone in that, you know.
If that's what you're experiencing,
you're not alone in that.
And it's not your fault.
There's nothing wrong with you.
You just have a normal human mind.
Look, if your mind ruminates and
dwells on the negative, if you get
caught up in anxieties and worries, if
you compare yourself to other people
and end up feeling deficient and
unworthy, like you're never enough,
you're never measuring up, if you
never feel satisfied no matter what
you have, and if you get caught up in
bad habits and addictions, guess what?
You have a normal human mind.
And your struggles are the same
struggles we're all going through
in one way, shape or form.
So in the same way that each of us looks
different on the outside, you know, we
can recognize each other in a crowd.
You know, you know, your friend from the
guy down the road, we all look different.
But we all have the same anatomy
underneath those differences, right?
To the point to which, if you go to
a surgeon and you need a particular
surgery, he can be sure that he can
perform the same operation on you that he
can with any other human being, because
we have the same underlying anatomy.
It's the same with the mind.
We all have different personalities.
Every single one of us
is unique in that way.
But underneath, the mind has the
same basic anatomy within all of us.
It has the same operating
system, if you will.
So I want to assure you that no matter
where you're starting from or what it
is that you're struggling with, you
can train your mind to be stronger
with tried, tested and evidence-based
tools and skills, and you can start to
unwind anxiety, stress, low self-worth
and inner struggles step by step.
And that's what I'm sharing
with you in this course.
So by becoming mentally strong, you
can learn to gradually unlock your
potential, shed the stuff that's
holding you back and become more and
more the best version of yourself.
And yes, like anything in life,
it does take time and effort
to become mentally stronger.
But it may well be the best investment of
your time and effort that you ever make.

Just a small sample of the life-changing 5-star reviews we get on a daily basis.
Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.

You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
