Is This Course Right for Me?
This training is designed for people who feel drawn to meditation - not just to practise it, but to understand it more deeply and potentially share it with others.
You might find yourself here if:
✔ You're curious about meditation and want to learn it properly, in a clear and grounded way
✔ You've experienced the benefits of meditation and feel a quiet desire to share it with others
✔ You teach yoga, coaching or work in a well-being space and would like to integrate meditation into what you offer
Some students begin with no meditation experience at all.
Others have been practising for years but have never learned how to guide meditation with confidence.
Both are welcome here. You don't need to feel completely ready.
You simply need a genuine interest in meditation - and a willingness to begin.
What Will I Learn?
By the end of this training, you’ll feel able to guide meditation in a calm, structured and supportive way - even if you’re completely new to guiding meditation.
The training combines meditation with practical, science-based tools - so it feels grounded, clear, and accessible.
You'll learn how to:
✔ Guide meditation sessions in a clear and grounded way
Lead others into calm, presence and awareness - without needing to feel like an expert
✔ Structure a meditation session from beginning to end
Know what to say, how to begin, and how to close a session so it feels complete and supportive
✔ Work with a range of meditation techniques
Experience and practise over 16 different styles of meditation, so you can find what works for you - and for others
✔ Understand the nervous system and the stress response
Learn how stress and the fight-or-flight response impact the body, and how to guide others into a more balanced, regulated state
✔ Adapt meditation for different people and learning styles
Discover how to meet people where they are, so your guidance feels accessible and inclusive
✔ Create your own meditation scripts and personal style
Move beyond set scripts and begin guiding in a way that feels natural and authentic to you
✔ Develop and deepen your own personal meditation practice
Build a grounded, consistent practice for yourself - the foundation for guiding others
✔ Integrate holistic counselling skills into your sessions
Learn simple, practical ways to support others with awareness, presence, and care
You don’t need to feel confident to begin - that’s something you’ll build naturally as you learn and practise.
Many students begin unsure - and gradually discover how natural guiding meditation can feel.
Learn with Jane Otton
Founder & Head Teacher, Calm Mind College
You'll be guided throughout your training in a way that feels supportive, structured, and easy to follow - so you always know what to do next.
Jane hasn’t always found meditation easy.
In her early years, she struggled to “get it” - feeling overwhelmed, overthinking the process, and unsure if she was doing it right.
It wasn't until she learned meditation in a simple, supportive way - guided by a teacher who truly cared - that everything changed.
Meditation became something she could feel, not just understand.
From there, her practice deepened - supporting her to feel calmer, more grounded and more connected within herself, even during times of stress.
A guided, supportive approach to learning
What made the difference for Jane is now how she teaches.
You won't be left guessing or wondering if you're doing it right.
You'll be guided step by step, with a focus on:
-
simple practice techniques
-
learning through experience (not just theory)
-
feeling supported, seen and encouraged as you grow
Over 20 years of personal practice and teaching
Jane has been practising meditation for over 20 years, and has trained and supported hundreds of students from all walks of life.
With a background in education and as an accredited meditation teacher, her approach combines structured learning with a calm, supportive teaching style.
Her work brings together:
-
meditation and mindfulness
-
stress and nervous system support
-
holistic counselling and coaching principles
- giving you a well-rounded, practical foundation to both deepen your own practice and guide others.
More than just a course
For Jane, this work is deeply personal.
That’s why her focus is not just on teaching techniques -
but on helping you build confidence, trust yourself and grow into your own way of guiding meditation.
You're not expected to have it all figured out.
You’ll be supported to learn, practise, and grow - step by step.
