DEEP MEDITATION- FOR A STRESS-FREE EXISTENCE.
Alternate with basic body awareness and breathing technique.
What happens inside me when I stop?
What do I experience inside during silence?
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 opportunity to stop and unwind, during stillness and silence. Warm welcome!

Time: 12.30-13.00
Place: 3C 304
