Sign up here for the 30-Day Meditation Challenge:
When: Begins on February 2nd, 2015
Where: Online/your home
Why: Because it's the fastest, easiest and cheapest way we know to reduce stress and improve your health. (And you could win some fabulous prizes.)
Who: This year we’ve once again picked out some of our favourite meditation instructors to guide you to stillness, peace and quiet. Experts like Suzanne Slocum Gori, Grace Dubery, Carolyn Anne Budgell, Dawn Mauricio, Emerson Lim and many more! All you have to do is find a comfortable seat, hit ‘play’ - and let yourself be guided through your daily meditation.
How It Works & What’s NEW:
If you took part in the challenge last year - know that it’ll work basically the same way this time around.
We’ll build from 5 to 10 minutes in the first week, 15 minutes in the second week, 20 minutes in the third week and up to 25 minutes in fourth week. (So we’ll work up to a longer sitting in this challenge!) There’s always an option to do a shorter meditation if you don’t feel ready to move on or your day was anything but perfect. In the Premium Experience we'll work all the way up to the 'Grand Daddy' 30 minute meditation.
We’ll cover different types and techniques of meditation to keep things new and fresh for beginner and experienced meditators alike.

After last year’s meditation challenge we’ve had many requests for an encore. So many first-timer meditators enjoyed their habit so much that they requested a 365-day challenge! Read below to see what some of them had to say last year.
What our past challengers have said:
“Filled with so much gratitude for these daily meditations. A new blessing everyday. These wonderful guides are so generous. Delighted to open the email the other morning to discover my therapist Angela. Today's was a profound experience for me - trying to recover from a bad bout of pneumonia and you present this beautiful healing meditation. This challenge has changed my life - and it's not even over yet!”
- Vivienne (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
“Thanks for all of the wonderful guided meditations! I really enjoyed the challenge. Hope there is another one soon - I'd do it again without hesitation.”
- Lisa (Michigan)
“This challenge was the best challenge ever!! I thoroughly enjoyed each and everyday meditation and it has helped me immensely in my private and professional life. Thanks tuja.”
- Pearl (Texas)
"Last day! So proud that I completed the Tuja 30 Day Meditation Challenge! I've been meditating for a long time but it was great to stay disciplined in making time for it everyday. It was also great to read more information on the person behind each meditation and the different areas they specialise in."
- Anita (New South Wales, Australia)
“My 30 days of Tuja Meditations are over. It has been an absolute delight to be part of this adventure. Not only has it offered me many insights, it also brought a feeling of living a little bit in a silk body. Things have been more smooth, so to say. It brought me some peace of mind, some quietness and structure to my daily "struggle" of trying to meditate. The daily url lowered the previous obstacles to start my meditations. Everyday i felt accompanied by a wise teacher who brought me a new gift. How amazing is that? Like its your birthday everyday of the month. And then, yes, you start to realise things like "every day IS a day to celebrate". Not only because there is so much to live for, i knew that, but also because there's an immense other realm out there to discover and explore. And omg! It is inside of me. And that explains in a small way how important meditation is for all your areas of life.”
- Jan (Amsterdam)
“At one point in this month i had an extremely good experience. For the first time ever i felt that i really (!) observed my breath. No more connection to the mind, no more subtle influences on the breath. The moment was short, but really intense. The detachment i felt was unlike anything i've experienced before. And that feeling still sticks with me. There's no word in the world to describe the gratitude i feel for receiving that moment, that gift.”
- Jan (Amsterdam)
"The first week was a struggle to get myself to start meditating for 5 minutes. I kept thinking about all the reasons not to do it (better said: my mind thought about it). When I was meditating I constantly thought about how long I had left and a few times I opened my eyes to look at the clock. This last week I noticed a shift. I looked forward to start the day with my (now) 10 minutes of meditation practice. And during meditation I could sink more into it with less effort.
Other benefits I noticed: I sleep like a baby, I have more energy, I experience less stress throughout my day. Look forward to the second half of the challenge!
Awesome, really love the meditations and the surprises they hold! Could meditate today for 10 minutes easily, couldn't do that before. Haven't skipped a day and stay the day with it. Improved my sleep as well. Any chance you can expand to a 365 days challenge?"
- Raymond (Netherlands)
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is the Meditation Challenge free?
A: Yes, the basic 30 Day Challenge is FREE! The choice to upgrade to the Premium Experience is entirely up to you but we sure hope you'll support us in this way.
Q: Is the challenge open to beginners?
A: Absolutely. We’ve designed the challenge to be very easy & accessible to brand-new meditators. We'll take you by the hand and walk you through the whole process (actually, it’s pretty simple), giving you all the info you need and answering any questions you might have. The meditations will start at 5 minutes for the first week and we’ll slowly work our way up to 25-minute meditations by week 4. Beginners in particular will benefit from the added support and instruction available through the Premium Experience.
Q: I’ve practiced meditation before. Is the challenge worthwhile for experienced meditators?
A: Yes. We’ve designed the challenge to be interesting for both new & experienced meditators. We’ll keep things fresh by introducing you to our favourite meditation instructors across the country, bringing different styles of instruction and techniques along with them. If you find that the meditation of the day is too short for you, we invite you simply to sit a little longer or do a second meditation that day. Experienced meditators can push their challenge a little further by joining the Premium Experience and going for a 40-Day Challenge.
Q: Can I still join the challenge even though I found out about it after February 2nd?
A: Please do! Sign-up for the challenge anytime throughout February. It’s never too late to start. Likewise, the Premium Experience is available to join any time during or after the Challenge.
NOTE: By signing up, tuja wellness assumes that you have read and understood our Terms & Conditions and agree to them as outlined . Participants of the meditation challenge must be over the age of 14.
