Yes, I did provide my sister's email address and she got an access. I did that at the very beginning of the course. Maybe you can email Silva asking for the information what happened.

Could you also please fix the Today's Lesson so it can be downloaded as a PDF file instead of only being downloaded as a video? Thank you!

These meditations are from this website:

Meditation is one of those things that we all want to do, but for a lot of us, the chatter of our busy minds can make sitting down to meditate an exercise in frustration rather than relaxation. Here are five top ways to get your practice going.

Following the Breath
This is an excellent technique for beginners. Ancient, powerful and effective, by simply watching your breath, you give your mind something to focus on in a relaxed way. Get yourself in a comfortable position, close your eyes and begin to observe the sensations of breathing. Pay attention to how it feels as you draw air in through your nose, down into your lungs and back out again through your mouth. You don’t need to control or force your breathing in any way. Just watch. If your mind wanders — and it will — don’t worry or criticize yourself, this is normal in the beginning. Gently bring your attention back to your breathing and continue.

Mindfulness
This type of meditation allows you to be fully present in the moment by bringing your attention to the sensations within your body. Start by focusing on your breath, then allow yourself to become aware of other sensations — how you’re sitting, where you feel tension or tingling or ease. The goal here is to become a neutral observer. Try not to analyze or judge anything you experience or any thought that passes through your mind. Simply observe.

Mantra Meditation
The ancient Sanskrit word, “aum” is a mystical syllable often used in chants or as a meditative mantra. By repeating a sacred word or meaningful phrase (including short affirmations) you can bring your mind to a state of focused tranquility. You can say the mantra aloud or repeat it silently.

Walking Meditation
If sitting still for too long makes you squirm, try a walking meditation. You can do this just about anywhere, although a garden or other pleasing environment is ideal. Simply focus on your body as it moves: your arms as they swing, your legs as they lift and extend, your feet as they rise and touch the ground. As with all meditation techniques, when you find your mind wandering, gently bring your attention back to the movement. Try not to judge, just observe the sensation of walking.

Empty Mind Meditation
This meditation technique allows you to be aware without any specific focus. Simply sit quietly with your eyes closed and allow thoughts to float freely in and out of your mind. As they come and go, observe them without judgment or attachment.

Hi Bill, the same thing happened to me. It took me months just to even sit down and try. At first for a long time I could not make it longer than 2 minutes - boredom was the main reason. I also realized later that meditation actually scared me a little. I did not know what to expect, or what might happen or what would happen. The best thing I learned is don't expect anything. Just relax and enjoy the relaxation. Don't wonder too much whether you are doing it right or not. If you somewhat relaxed, you are doing it right. Every time you do it it's gonna get better, like learning everything else. And keep in mind you are doing it for your own benefits. But don't stress too much about seeing those benefits right away. Everything will come in its own time. Hope it helps a little.
