OL330MTT Meditation for Personal Development & Meditation as Therapy (Online)
Approved training course of The Meditation Association of Australia.
Professional Certification in Mindfulness, Wellbeing & Evidence-Based Practice
Meditation is one of the most transformative practices to emerge from Eastern traditions and become widely embraced across the Western world. Beyond its profound personal benefits, learning to teach meditation allows you to share these life-changing techniques with others, helping them cultivate greater wellbeing, resilience, and inner peace.
For many students, meditation begins as a daily practice and gradually becomes a way of life. Regular meditation nurtures mindfulness, compassion, emotional balance, and lasting contentment, creating positive change that extends into every aspect of life. As a qualified meditation teacher, you can guide others on this same journey toward greater clarity, calm, and unshakable inner peace.
Our Meditation Teacher Training Course combines three specialised meditation intensive electives to provide a comprehensive education in the philosophy, psychology, and physiology of meditation. This evidence-informed program equips you with the knowledge and practical skills to confidently teach meditation in a variety of professional and community settings.
You’ll explore how meditation can support people experiencing:
- Stress and anxiety
- Depression and low mood
- Chronic pain
- Emotional overwhelm
- Mental and physical health challenges
The course examines these conditions through a biopsychosocial framework, providing a deeper understanding of the causes of suffering and the role meditation can play in supporting holistic wellbeing. You’ll also gain insight into many of the most prevalent mental health challenges affecting modern society and learn how to adapt meditation practices to meet the diverse needs of your clients.
Whether your goal is to become a certified meditation teacher, expand your existing health or wellness practice, or deepen your personal understanding of meditation, this training provides the confidence, knowledge, and practical experience to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
