Included are education sessions, breath practices, guided meditation, body scans, yoga nidra and journaling practices. Jana's aim was to include enough education to satiate the intellectual side of your inner processor and enough practice to give you an experience that can teach your mind a new way of performing.

Jana Roemer

Jana Roemer came to devote her life to the practice of yoga, meditation and yoga nidra because it was the exact medicine she needed. An overly critical, busy mind kept her in a state of anxiety that dipped in and out of depression and paralyzed her abilities. To free herself, she has sought out incredible teachers and guides, reads an tremendous amount of philosophy, but ultimately it's her time in the practice, through her own journey to find mental sovereignty, that she made contact with her inner teacher and experienced a complete rebirth of her mind space. That was the moment her life’s work began to be revealed.

Lesson 1

Awareness Of Breath

This lesson sets the framework: Patterns of obsessive thinking, the power of presence, loving kindness and an introduction to your breath. This is the primary subtle change of habitual patterns that you will introduce into your daily life in order to change your life. Each breath pattern is communicating a different message. Before altering it, it is necessary to build habitual awareness of your various breath patterns. This is the first step in disrupting your thinking patterns; change your focus.

Lesson 2

Out Of Your Head & Into Your Body

This lesson is a short yoga nidra practice. You do this one laying down and 15 min in this practice is like 1 hour of deep sleep. I chose to put this one early in the course because you can use this every single day to help you move out of your head and into your body. Lesson four contains a practice that you can use to enhance your yoga nidra practice as well.

Lesson 3

How To Communicate With Your Nervous System

In this lesson you learn more about the wordless intelligence of your breath. Even though the autonomic nervous system primarily operates automatically, you will learn that you breath is always communicating with you and how to use your breath to strengthen the dialogue with your nervous system to sooth your nervous system and help calm anxiety. You'll learn a simple breath pattern that you can bring into your waking life that can help you to slow down and lower stress in the moment.

Lesson 4

Journal Practice

Today's lesson is a journaling practice. You will begin with a purge of thoughts that you'll be able to toss out afterward if you like. Then you'll start to organize your thoughts in order to create a Sankalpa / Resolve that you can bring into your yoga nidra practice from day two to help you transform a limiting belief into a liberating belief. It's all about building awareness of the quality of your thoughts and elevating your thought process.

Lesson 5

Intuitive Balance

In this lesson, you continue to refine your breath relationship. Integrating the lesson from day three, you'll further refine by adding an intuitive dimension of awareness as you begin to expand your ability to track your breath at deeper layers. As you go deeper into these breath practices, the mind begins to abandon the incessant thoughts and becomes more interested in this process as it calms your heart, nervous system and provides you with different secretions from your endocrine system.

Lesson 6

99.9999999% Space

This seated meditation is founded in the quantum concept that we are made of .00000000000001% matter and 99.9999999999999% space, yet a typical Human spends the majority of their time focusing on the matter, rather than the space. In this meditation, we shift the focus to the space. Be ready with your notes from day four's journaling exercise. Today you'll tap into the infinite potential within space to release that which causes suffering and welcome that which brings you life.

Lesson 7

Balance Your Brain Hemispheres

In any typical moment, the brain will be firing in a multitude of different directions, causing internal discordance and obsessive thinking (among other things). This breath practice has been measured through brain scans to bring coherence between the brain hemispheres. The effects of this brainwave shift are peace of mind, reduced stress levels and focus. You can take pause at any time and tuck yourself away to do a few rounds of this breath for a quick recovery.

Lesson 8

Philosophy Chat For Self Reflection

This lesson is a philosophy chat about life practices and perspectives that will dramatically shift your reality should you choose to apply them. You can reference these philosophies in Patajali's Yoga Sutras (chapter 2.29 - 2.45). The external world mirrors the internal world and vice versa. If you want transform one (the patterns of you mind), it is important to transform the other too (external reality). Digest this information through reflection, contemplation, further journaling and integration into your life.

Lesson 9

Mantra Meditation

This lesson is to teach you a few different mantra styles, yet the featured mantra meditation is the Gayatri Mantra. The time stamp is 5:55 in case you want to come back to it. This is great to use in your car on your commute, as you walk or in the shower! While the practice itself is lovely, the sweetest spot is the silent space after you're done using the mantra. Remain still after you're done and enjoy the silence.

Lesson 10

Soothe The Mind

For the last lesson of the course, I'm sharing a practice that feels like an adult version of a self soothing technique for a busy mind. It comes from the Kundalini tradition as taught by Yogi Bhajan. You can do it anywhere at any time and it's like rocking your busy mind into a quieter place. Sa Ta Na Ma. It is much more than a self soothing technique, you'll hear about in the lesson.

Jana, Thank you for this course and sharing so many helpful tools. I am taking it again and encouraging my husband to try it too. You taught me to not let my ruminating thoughts overtake me. I can actually do some practices to return to a more calm state and to have the courage to take any actions or advocate for myself to get at the source of my anxiety. Many thanks!

Thank you so much for this great and wonderful course! It truly has blessed me. All the knowledge that is being presented here is pure gold, god bless. This is the first course ive listened to that made me feel like going back and listening to it a second time because of how many lessons are taught just in a short amount of time. Truly powerful, 10/10 would sit in a class and listen to you for hours if I could. Amazing voice! Amazing spirit! Awesome job!

Thank you so much. I definitely agree with you about just being exposed to as much as possible so you can find what works for you. A very diverse tool kit that we can draw from. I appreciate your education. And your voice is beautiful.

This course has been a warm spot to start my day. Thanks for the varied approaches and insights. Many have commented on how warm and comforting your voice is to listen to, and I would also like to echo that. There is an ASMR beauty there too. Thanks for the wisdom punctuated with authentic giggles. I completed the full course, and even read some of the questions and answers. Your answer on how you handle "what if" was perfect. I also share your appreciation of mantras in foreign languages - there is something that works so much better when the brain doesn't have a preconceived concept to match the sound. Thanks for sharing this, I will look for more content from you. 😊
