Meditation, a basic introduction to meditation can be given in a one hour session. A full course covering the meditation and philosophy taught by the Brahma Kumaris would take five one hour sessions. Audio visual materials are available in many languages including Khmer, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, Russian and German.

Positive Thinking is an easy to understand course that provides participants with practical tools to process negative emotions and develop positive responses to challenges and problems. Participants generally also become more motivated, happier and more productive. Positive thinking also helps the participants to transform negative patterns of thought that often influence the quality of our relationships with others.

Self Esteem helps participants understand their current level of self esteem and provide tools for them to increase their self esteem and self motivation. As their self esteem increases this automatically reduces feelings of 'self hate' and 'self torture' people with addictions often experience.

Relaxation Techniques are simple techniques to help to participants relax and gain control of their thoughts.

Self Mastery enables participants to establish a positive vision and goals for their future, along with also identifying barriers they may face and developing an action plan to overcome them.

Both Raja Yoga Meditation and the above courses are most easily learnt when taught by an experienced teacher in a systematic manner and conducive environment. In the initial stages of meditation it is helpful for the practitioner to listen to a guided commentary (either spoken or on a cassette) to help focus their thoughts and to be sitting a quiet surroundings. As they develop the technique it becomes possible for them to meditate anywhere and they no longer require a tape.
