In the past, Meditation was something for others but not for me. I had tried a few variations of meditation...it never stuck. I read about meditation and the benefits but I was skeptic. At the suggestion of my counsellor, she mentioned meditation might be a great addition to my current EMDR therapy we've been working on together. Though I am new to my practice, I feel the benefits. When I first began, I promised myself I would commit to 21 days and follow a twice-a-day, 20 minute effortless meditation practice. No excuses. To my surprise, it is one of the easiest commitments to keep.

Sammy Walkling is my first meditation teacher. She has a calm and quiet manner and non-judgemental teaching approach. She began with the background about why she chose to teach Effortless Meditation and the science behind the practice (I am fascinated). I find meditation is making a difference in my life and relationships. When I started, I had been in a deep depressive slump for about 4 months. It hit me hard as I hadn't experienced this for more than 20 years. My mood has slowly started to lift. I feel lighter in my approach to difficult situations. My curiosity has come back. The peacefulness I have longed for is coming into my life. I believe, a daily meditation practice will continue to be a part of my life.

I want to send gratitude to Sammy. She has given me such a gift by offering to teach me this holistic approach to meditation, stating is doesn't have to be difficult. Just listening to her voice puts you at ease. She is knowledgeable and her teaching approach is kind and genuine. Right from her heart. She is organized and her teachings flow nicely making it very easy to understand and follow. She is a lovely and beautiful human being.

If you are thinking about starting a meditation practice and feel unsure about what to do, I give Sammy my highest recommendation.

I had the opportunity of trying out Sammy’s meditation classes while she was living in Australia and it was a pleasant surprise. Despite being new to meditation, I found her guidance to be calming and informative. Her website offers a serene and user-friendly platform to explore meditation which has really helped me relax and feel more grounded during my studies. I never saw myself as a meditation person, but Sammy’s approach made it a truly enlightening experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to embark on a journey of mindfulness and relaxation.

I have tried many different types of meditation throughout my life but have always struggled to stick with it. When I learnt Effortless Meditation with Sammy I felt more relaxed after the first session and because it is so easy to do it hasn’t been hard to stick with it. I also really value the information and guidance on emotional processing and have been feeling more deeply since the beginning effortless meditation.

Sammy was very attentive and took care to explain everything thoroughly. I can tell she is really invested in helping people and believes in effortless meditation as a way to improve the world.

I had been thinking about starting meditation for five years now, but I had never encountered the right person before. When I had my first introduction course with Sammy, I knew she was the person I was waiting for. As soon as we started, I was so surprised by this form of meditation. It's not only an easy way to start with meditation, but it also focuses on your emotions and your stress level. Sammy is just the perfect teacher to guide you through this process. Couldn't be happier that I started these lessons with Sammy, I recommend everyone to do the same.
