New start date to be announced.
The course consists of 4 sessions on breathing meditation and somatic movement (1 session of 2 hours each Sunday). See international time zones below in "notes".
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 at everyone, and is offered FREE only to 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, under "notes" you can download a sample PDF Reading Manual with the entire theoretical portion of the course. The full 30-page document will be shared within the course.
"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 portion of these sessions will be covered in live Zoom meditations, the theoretical part will be covered in the PDF Reading Manual, a partial sample of which you can download below under "notes."
While the course is open to everyone, it also seeks 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.
Thus, if you've already completed any of the previous programs, my motivation here 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.
And now the sessions last 2 hours!
