New start date to be announced. Open only to meditators who have completed one of the HUMAN BEING trainings, or one of the 21/30 DAY MEDITATING courses, or one of the 1:1 MEDITATIVE MODE program.
I invite you to meditate with me every Sunday at 8:00AM Costa Rica time (GMT -6) on Zoom Live. See international time zones below in "notes".
The course consists of 4 sessions on breathing meditation (1 session each Sunday).
The idea is to share very simple breathing patterns and meditations, in order to harmonize our physical-mental systems and from there build emotional wisdom (as long as each participant commits to practicing the techniques regularly).
Program aimed only at those who have completed any of the HUMAN BEING training courses, or any of the 21/30 DAY MEDITATING courses, or any 1:1 MEDITATIVE MODE program, and are looking to keep their breathing meditation practice alive and up-to-date.
Below in "notes" you can download the PDF Reading Manual with all the theoretical part of the course (the material is in spanish). I recommend that you read it to further enrich the experience of the exercises that we will practice in the live meditations.
"To think in terms of pessimism or optimism is to oversimplify life. Things just flow"
– Thich Nhat Hanh –
SESSION 1 – The mind inhabiting the body. Breathing and meditative practices to master mental noise and emotional saboteurs densified in the body. (Stillness and rest exercises).
SESSION 2 – Detachment and empowerment. Breathing and meditative practices to strengthen confidence in life and in oneself. (Inhalation and exhalation exercises using the mouth and nose).
SESSION 3 – The body as an emotional processing tool. Breathing and meditative practices that combine physical movement with patterned breathing to remove emotional content accumulated in the joints. (Dynamic meditation exercises).
SESSION 4 – Healing the nervous, endocrine and circulatory systems. Breathing and meditative practices to generate chemical-nervous harmony and balance in the body. (Sensory meditation breathing exercises).
* While the practical part of these sessions will be covered in the live Zoom meditations, the theoretical part will be covered in the downloadable PDF Reading Manual below in "notes".
The course aims to help us refresh the breathing and meditation practices we learned in the HUMAN BEING training, in the 21/30 DAYS MEDITATING COURSE, or in the 1:1 MEDITATIVE MODE program.
My motivation is to maintain a safe space where together we can update our knowledge, learn new combinations of breathing exercises versus meditation exercises based on emotional needs, and share experiences about how our meditation practice has developed since the last time we met in a course or training.
"Meditation does not seek to change experience, but to change the relationship we have with it"
– Jon Kabat-Zinn –
First I give a brief talk to introduce the topic of the day theoretically, then we move on to practice.
At the end there is space for attendees to ask questions, express comments or share experiences if they wish; This is with the aim of clarifying the techniques so that you can practice them correctly during the week.
