Using Walking Meditation for Stress Relief
2022-10-12 18:00 - 18:30, 2022-10-12 08:00 - 08:30
What was the last time you walked alone — in the city, in the local neighbourhood, in the countryside, or on a remote hiking trail — where was your mind at? Did you make a phone call? Were you listening to some music or a podcast? Or maybe you were lost in thought. When we’re outside, it’s almost second nature for our legs to be moving while our attention is elsewhere.
Walking meditation is designed to bring body and mind in sync while we’re walking. And if you don’t like to sit and close your eyes to meditate, this is the best alternative for you to discover a new form of meditation that trains the mind in awareness, focus and presence.

Webinar | Love, Connection + Vulnerability
2022-10-07 13:00 - 14:00
For centuries, spiritual teachers have pointed the way towards love – compassion, warm enveloping friendliness, peace, tenderness and empathy – but the mind can interfere with love. Thinking into love needs the support of feeling good!
This workshop will tap into the body’s spontaneous experiences of warmth, friendliness and attunement to nurture a self-caring attitude that naturally expands to include others (and other parts of ourselves). You’ll use physical practice to explore the vulnerability of the opening heart, how to support that, and how to use movement to generate the soft, adaptive transparency that lets your heart soften and lighten.

Zen Warrior Series | Webinar : Brainwaves, Visualisation & Journaling Techniques to Ignite your Creativity
2022-09-27 18:00 - 19:00
In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus.
Mentalisation/visualisation unlike meditation is not to stop your thoughts, in fact, its purpose is to utilize thinking to create new archetypes in the subliminal mind to influence positively the physical body. Using visualization triggers hormones and synapses that make it easier for us to tackle daunting tasks. There is a lot of research that shows how mental practice develops creativity, enhances mood, helps the healing process and has a positive effect on performance of cognitive and physical tasks.
In this session, we will:

Explore visualisation meditation and journaling techniques as a powerful way to stimulate our parasympathetic nervous system and be in a flow state
Practice meditation as a way to get fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process
Meditate on self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-love
