Meditation

And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself? (Rumi)

Meditation is calmness. Meditation is the art of doing everything with all your awareness. Meditation is arriving at yourself. Meditation is to clear your head. Meditation if freedom.

Meditation and breathing

To breath is to live. You can be 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, but only 3 minutes without breathing.

The ritm of breathing is like a circle movement- not like a movement up-and downwards- consists of three phases:

Phase 1: breathing in (to let it come/ yin aspect)
Phase 2: breathing out (to let it go/ yang aspect)
Phase 3: pause (to allow)

The natural free breathing is difficult for many people, because they can not wait untill the breath comes naturally. The have a little way to help to 'get' their meditation in stead of waiting to let it 'come'. In this way meditation is a action. To get something, you have to do something. This is one of the causes of stress related complaints.

Private Meditation class: 45 euro (60 minutes)
