DEEP MEDITATION

Alternate with basic body awareness and breathing techniques.
Discover how your body reacts when you stop and take some time out from daily life. Learn meditative techniques to incorporate into your daily life
The deep meditation takes place during 20 minutes of silence on a meditation stool, cushion or chair. It is an opportunity to go inward instead of outward. It is an opportunity to be in a non-performing state, for a moment of the day. You give yourself the time to stop and unwind, during stillness and silence. Feel free to join us!

Time: 12.30-13.00
