4. Meditation Deconstruced

Description du service

What is meditation really about — and why can it be so beneficial? Meditation is recommended everywhere — for stress reduction, emotional wellbeing, focus, self-awareness, better sleep and a greater sense of calm. Yet for many people, the idea of meditating can feel surprisingly difficult. Perhaps you've tried it and found yourself wondering: Am I doing this right? What am I supposed to do with my thoughts? How long should I sit there? Why can't I switch my mind off? The truth is that meditation isn't about stopping your thoughts or emptying your mind. There are many different ways to meditate, and different approaches can support us in different ways. This experiential workshop takes meditation apart and makes it accessible again. We explore what meditation really is, why it can be beneficial, what is happening when we practise it, and how to find an approach that genuinely works for you. Rather than simply being told how to meditate, you'll have the opportunity to try, experience and compare different practices — and discover that meditation doesn't have to look one particular way. You’ll explore & experience: *What meditation and mindfulness are and why they can be beneficial *Different meditation and mindfulness approaches *Short guided practices with different focuses *Breath-based, body-based and sensory meditation *Moving meditation *Mindful eating *Awareness, attention and observing thoughts without judgement *Self-compassion and non-judgement *Sharing and reflection: What did I experience? What worked for me? *Discover how to create a realistic personal practice The experience: try → notice → compare → discover your own way of meditating and practising mindfulness. Workshops can be held online, at your workplace (travel expenses quoted separately), or at our beautiful lodge in the hills of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. For a more immersive experience, step away from the everyday and bring your team together in nature. The lodge offers a peaceful setting to slow down, reconnect and experience wellbeing beyond the workplace. *Venue, catering and additional activities can be tailored to your requirements and quoted separately.
