EktayaReturn to Yourself
Three days to catch your breath
A three-day audio program to slow down, listen to your body, and welcome what you feel, at your own pace and with nothing to get right.
Return to Yourself is the shorter of my two programs, and it's the one I suggest starting with. It takes three days, with a guided audio of five to twelve minutes each day, followed by a short moment to put what you just experienced into words.
You listen at home, somewhere quiet, sitting or lying down, on your phone or your computer. There's nothing to prepare, just a journal or a sheet of paper if you want to write. The program stays in your account: you can replay the audio as often as you like, tomorrow or six months from now.
3 days, one audio of 5 to 12 minutes each day
Who it's for
This program is for you if…
It's for you
- You feel like you spend your days in your head, and you'd like to come back down into your body a little.
- You'd like to take three days for yourself, with nothing to perform and someone guiding you with audio.
- Reiki and energy work intrigue you, and you'd rather try something simple before committing to more.
It's not for you
- You're looking for medical or psychological care: this program isn't that, and it doesn't replace it.
- You expect a specific or guaranteed result: I don't promise any. The calm you feel is yours to judge.
- You want live guidance, with someone there with you: Reiki sessions are made for that (Request a session).
How it unfolds
The steps, day by day

My background in detailThe limits
What this program doesn't replace
This program is a wellbeing practice. It promises no specific result.
The program includes breathing exercises. If you have a heart or respiratory condition, or you're pregnant, ask your doctor first.
It doesn't replace a doctor, a treatment, or psychological care. If you're already in treatment or under care, keep going as you are: you don't have to stop anything.
If you're going through a very hard time or having thoughts of suicide, please reach out now: in the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), free, 24/7. Elsewhere, find your local helpline at findahelpline.com. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
The prices
The three prices for Return to Yourself ($11, $22, or $33, taxes included)
The content is exactly the same whatever the price. You choose based on what works for you right now. Choosing “Supporter” lets others take “Tight Budget,” and helps me create more free content to support as many people as possible. All prices include taxes. Access is for life* at all three prices (see the program terms and conditions).
*Your program stays online in your account for as long as Ektaya exists. If the platform ever has to close, you'd get 6 months' notice (unless we're forced to close), and either way you'd receive an email with a link to download your audio, texts, and journal, yours to keep forever.
Immediate access, no refund: you give up your right of withdrawal at checkout (details below).
Prices are in US dollars, taxes included. Payment is made on Stripe's secure page and processed by Link, which may offer you your local currency.
After payment
What happens next
- You pay on app.ektaya.com, our learning platform, through a secure checkout. No account is needed before you pay.
- Once the payment is confirmed, you receive an email with a link: to choose your password if this is your first purchase, or to log in if you already have an account. You then land in your account, where your program is waiting.
- Access is for life: your program stays online in your account for as long as Ektaya exists. If the platform ever has to close, you'd get 6 months' notice (unless we're forced to close), and either way you'd receive an email with a link to download your audio, texts, and journal, yours to keep forever (see the program terms and conditions). Day 0 is open as soon as you arrive, then a new day opens every night at midnight your local time, and I write to you each time. If you don't want to wait, you can open the next day early.
- Your journal lives in your account: your notes stay there, available whenever you come back.
Refunds
No refund for changing your mind
Return to Yourself opens as soon as you've paid. For that reason, at checkout you ask for immediate access and give up your 14-day right of withdrawal, so there is no refund if you change your mind. You confirm this yourself with a box that is never pre-checked: “I request immediate access and I waive my 14-day right of withdrawal.”
So that you're not paying blind, the whole program is described day by day on this page: you know exactly what you're buying.
If access doesn't work, or if the content doesn't match what's described here, write to me at contact@ektaya.com.
The details are in our program terms and conditions. Seller: Ektaya LLC (see the legal notice).
Frequently asked questions
Questions you may be asking yourself
How long does it take each day?
Plan on about twenty minutes: an audio of five to twelve minutes depending on the day, then time to write.
I've never done Reiki or meditation. Is this for me?
Yes, nothing is assumed. I guide you step by step, and you don't have to believe in anything to do the exercises: they're simply prompts to help you notice what you feel.
What's the difference between the three prices?
None. The content and the length of access are exactly the same in all three cases. You choose based on what works for you right now: Fair Price is the one I suggest if you can, Tight Budget exists so that price isn't a barrier, and Supporter lets others take Tight Budget while helping me create more free content.
Can I get a refund?
Not for changing your mind. By checking the box at checkout, you ask for immediate access and give up your 14-day right of withdrawal. That's why the whole program is described day by day on this page, before you pay.
What if I want to keep going afterward?
Inner Renaissance is the next step, over five weeks. What you paid for Return to Yourself is deducted from its price within 30 days of your Return to Yourself purchase.
I'm having trouble getting into my account. Who do I contact?
Write to me at contact@ektaya.com, and I'll reply within 5 business days.
