Mindfulness for Grounding and Insight – 8-week online course

This 8-week course is aimed at looking deeper into mindfulness and meditation. We will cover a number of Zen meditation techniques and practices designed to explore what it means to develop a sense of physical and energetic grounding, and to have an understanding of yourself and the nature of reality. The only prerequisite is a keen desire or intention to know more about who you really are!

It will run on Tuesday evenings starting 2nd Sept, 19:30-21:00 (UK time) for 8 weeks.

This course will be led by Patrizia Daien Nestby, an experienced mindfulness teacher and qualified Zen teacher. Daizan will lead at least one of the sessions (usually the last one).

Over the 8 weeks we will explore a variety of topics including:

• Stress and time pressures
• Pain and the physical effects of meditation
• The mental effects of meditation
• Introduction to grounding and energy-work
• Living at an elevated level of function
• Stages of insight into self-understanding – knowing who you really are

The meditation techniques that we cover include:

• Mindfulness of the breath
• Fusho – your unborn mind
• Meditating with a koan (a paradoxical statement or question used to point at the true nature of reality)
• Healing with soft ointment
• Cultivating and energising your hara (belly) and legs
• Energy transformation
