Deze bijeenkomst is bedoeld voor diegenen die al vertrouwd zijn met boeddhistische meditatie en zich willen richten op de integratie van de acht paden in hun dagelijks leven.

The Eightfold Path is the core of our meeting. Every aspect of the meditation circle is designed to deepen our understanding and practice of right speech, right action, right livelihood, right concentration, right effort, right mindfulness, right thinking, right insight.

We begin the circle with a brief introduction in which we take a closer look at one of the eight paths and discuss how this path can manifest in our meditation and in our daily lives.

The meditation itself consists of a combination of concentration and insight meditation, where we focus on cultivating a deeper inner silence and clarity. After the meditation there is room for reflection and questions. These conversations offer the opportunity to learn from each other, support each other and jointly delve into Buddhist teachings.

This meeting is a valuable opportunity to deepen the practice of the Eightfold Path with others on the Buddhist path.

Naarmate je ouder wordt wil je deze structuur gaan loslaten, want je hebt er altijd andermans energie voor nodig. Je kunt veel beter je energie halen uit elementen waar je niemand anders, op wat voor manier dan ook, nodig hebt.

There are four different character structures:
1. Poor me, the victim
2. The journalist or interrogator
3. The leader or bully
4. The hermit or aloof

You may already have noticed, the first one only has a negative side, the other three have a positive and a negative side.

We have one of these four structures in our character and use two or three of them as a protection mechanism. When you have poor me as a character structure, it's damn hard to get rid of that. The remaining three at least have a positive side to move towards. But as mentioned, in all cases it is always better to get energy from the elements.

However, it is initially important to be aware of which character structure you are using. Only by taking a radically honest look at yourself and your behavior can you change those mechanisms and thus live a much more pleasant life. It is best to look radically honestly in meditation.

The program:

Costs: €45.00 p.p. Including materials, a snack during the break and e-book (Dutch) with the lectures and meditation.

Je leert hoe je geest werkt, hoe gedachten en emoties opkomen en hoe belemmerende patronen zich vormen. Door gerichte meditatietechnieken ontwikkel je meer rust, helderheid en inzicht in jezelf.

We investigate how attention helps to no longer be sucked in by unrest and automatic reactions. You will learn to calm your mind and to act from more awareness and freedom.

After this training you will have a solid foundation to meditate independently and, if you wish, you can join the Sangha.

This training is suitable for both beginners and anyone who wants to deepen their meditation practice with Buddhist insights.

In plaats van de ademhaling als observatiepunt, gebruiken we bij sensorische meditatie het waarnemen van wat je hoort, ziet, voelt, ruikt en proeft. Deze meditatievorm helpt bij het versterken van de verbinding tussen lichaam en geest en bevordert een diepere aanwezigheid in het huidige moment.

By focusing your attention on sensory perceptions, you train your mind to be more present in the moment. This can help reduce distractions and improve your focus. Like other forms of meditation, sensory meditation helps calm the mind. Focusing on sensory perceptions can help you break free from worries and stress. You learn to perceive and interpret physical sensations better, which helps you become more balanced.

With regular practice, sensory meditation can sharpen your perception. You become more sensitive to subtle details in your environment, which enriches your overall experience of the world around you.

Het is het vierde chakra en staat voor liefde, mededogen, eenheid en acceptatie.

When the Heart chakra is open and balanced, we feel love and connection with others and the world around us. Blockages in this chakra can lead to feelings of loneliness, sadness and separation. It is therefore important to devote sufficient time and attention to opening and balancing this powerful chakra.

The Heart Chakra Meditation of Karunesh is based on meditations from Sufism. It has six phases, the first four of which consist of simple movements. You will be guided by me and the music and we will finish with a sitting meditation and deep relaxation. Afterwards there is time for tea and conversation.
