Stilla Meditation

The body is always connected to the present moment. When you scan through the body and allowing all sensations to be as they are you are increasing our capacity be present with discomfort, so that you don't need to check out when life becomes difficult.

There is a part of you that can stay with both pleasure and pain without becoming attached or rejecting towards it. Through meditation this part becomes stronger.

There is an inherent satisfaction in being completely alert in a relaxed way. The experience of being completely here, present in the moment and knowing our experience fully. Today we play around with the balance between relaxation and alertness and practise combining the two.

Instead of spinning webs in your mind I invite you to land in your body and feel what is alive there. Simply admit how you feel and ask yourself, "how does it actually feel?" Sharp or smooth, heavy or light, hot or cold? And then allow that. This is the way to inner freedom.

Collecting yourself back together into the knowing that you are enough and everything is ok.

When we simply observe our thoughts without reacting to them it becomes clear that we are not our thoughts. One way to practice creating that distance is by trying to catch the beginning of the next thought.

Today we use sounds as our object of meditation. When we become increasingly aware about the content of our awareness we also become more aware of awareness itself. One example of this is when we become increasingly aware of sounds we also become more aware of the silence behind the sounds.

Behind all sensations is a stillness that is untouched by whatever is moving. It's the stillness of awareness and when we allow everything to be as it is, we are meeting the world from this place of stillness.

A deeply relaxing and calming session with focus on sensing the body as one field of sensations that fit together.

Counting the breaths give the mind something to do while meditating. This makes it easier for the mind calm down.

When we rest our attention on the breath, we nurture our inner stillness.

Let the breath take center stage and let all other sensations be there as background dancers. There is space in you to include everything that shows up, so you don't need to push anything away or get hyper focused on one thing. Just let everything be as it is.

We practice really being With ourselves with care and compassion. You are the space of awareness where all experience can belong and be welcomed. Comfort and discomfort alike.

We tune into the breath as source of life. "Breathing in, I am here" "Breathing out, I let go"

Awareness is the only thing that we really have some control over in life. By focusing on the breath we train our capacity to direct our attention to that which is useful for us. To things that are resourcing us and make us more capable to meet life with love and wisdom.

Our body is such a miraculous thing that we often take for granted. In this session we connect with the body with appreciation and gratitude. This is a great way to cultivate a soft and kind inner climate.

The only place you can experience the breath is in the present moment. Connecting with the breath is a great way to center yourself in times of turmoil and challenge.

Give the body time to rest and restore with this deep relaxation exercise.

In your body, streams of material from earth meet and form life. There is nothing in your body that doesn't come from the earth. You are a natural extension and part of earth. This meditation is inspired by Henry Shukman.

Peace is already here, in the middle of it all. We explore this by listening to sounds with curiosity and a smile. This mediation is inspired by Alan Watts.

When we stop resisting our experience and instead accept it as it is, we find ease. The paradox is that we cannot choose to accept our experience. The only thing we can do is to ask if there is already a "Yes" to our experience and if there is not, is there a Yes to the No? And if not, is there a Yes to the No of the No? And somewhere there is a Yes for sure, because that is simply how l...

In this meditation we nourish our kindness by meeting the breath in a warm way. "What we nourish grows" - Thích Nhất Hạnh

When we meet the breath with a smile and a kind heart we nurture our inner tree of compassion, with ourselves and others. This is a wonderful antidote to self-criticism.

Every situation, every emotion, every experience that you have been through in your life has come and gone. The nature of things is a constant change. Perhaps now it rains, but the sun will come.

Your breath takes care of itself, you don't need to take responsibility for it. In this way you are always supported. Let this be a space for rest and relaxation.
