INTENTION
We recognize that even if we have experienced the power of mindfulness, it takes regular, intentional practice to reconnect with our grounded essence—where love and wisdom naturally arise.
Over these 40 days, we’ll strengthen our ability to notice and feel, shifting from reactive patterns to a more receptive way of being.
Since each of us brings unique experiences and needs, this program is designed to help you listen inwardly and respond with care. The practices are also trauma-sensitive in their design.
“I felt safe to be in my own pace with the everyday practice.”
-Shubha, new practitioner
“On the personal front those 40 days were unusually difficult and the practice was very supportive. It was nourishing to share a space,* feeling being held, feeling the collective**…The poems often deeply moved me and created space to inquire deeper. Big thank you to All Just Being Team <3 “*
-Monika, long time practitioner
“The 40 days container was a safe space for me, particularly because of the intentional slow-ness of it. I had enough time to feel my feelings”

FAQs
1.”Is it suitable for someone new to the practice?”
Yes, it is designed in a way that it progresses gradually allowing for time to absorb. We also invite participants to adapt the practices based on what is showing up for them.
2. “I have been practicing mindfulness for sometime now. Will it be helpful?”
There is always benefit in coming together to practice as a community. In our experience, more layers or insights about practice unfold even if it is the same practice we have been doing.
3. 40 days seem like a long commitment. Can I join for less time?
We hear you. And that’s exactly why it works.
- Time to Settle In: 40 days allow us to ease into the practice, finding our rhythm with each session.
- Start Small: We begin with just 8 minutes of practice and increase gradually.
- Explore Variations: With 40 days, you’ll have enough time to experience a variety of meditation practices.
- Fit into Your Life: you will need time to explore how a mindfulness practice can fit in to your daily life
- Flexibility & support for practice: You can use recorded meditations to practice solo or join in (morning/evening) for community practice.
4. “I’m so busy. Will I actually have time for this?”
Totally a valid question. You can move at your own pace. Start with just 8 minutes a day — that’s it.
There are many offerings in the pdf (guided meditation, poems, songs, prompts for contemplation), but you can choose what fits your time and energy. Use the recordings, or join live sessions when possible. It’s designed to support real life.
5. “I wonder if meditation is for me. I can’t sit still.”
You’re not alone — many of us feel this way.
But mindfulness doesn’t have to mean sitting still. It can also happen in movement, in breath, or in simple moments of awareness.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Our bodies and minds need different things at different times. Many participants have found value in the variety of practices offered and deepened over the 40 days.
5. Can someone join in the middle? What’s the last date when someone can join?
We would like for the group to start and close the practice together and we keep it open for a few days after it begins.
6. Till when is the practice material available?
The practice material will be available till September 1st 2025
7. If I miss the Weekly Q/A, can I receive recordings?
Yes. Weekly Q/A will be recorded and uploaded on the platform for watching.
