Brussels Mindfulness

We start meditation with bringing awareness to all the parts of our body. We then send ourselves love and good wishes, an progressively including our loved ones, the health care workers and all the people who take care of us, people who suffer mentally and physically during this crisis and humanity altogether. We close by sending love to all being on our planet, including animals, plants and minerals.

In this meditation with Beate we cultivate compassion for ourselves and others by following the classical metta meditation in 5 steps: bringing love to a friend, to yourself, a stranger, a difficult person and all. We end by sending loving kindness to all beings in the whole world.

In this meditation we bring awareness to what is here in our body and mind. We then practice the three steps of the self-compassion break: awareness of what's difficult (recognizing that this is difficult), common humanity (we are all in this together) and kindness (speaking to yourself like a friend and adding a gentle touch).

In this RAIN meditation with Beate you are invited to befriend a difficult feeling. RAIN stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nourish. It is a kind and compassionate way to allow ourselves to feel what needs to be felt and to nourish ourselves from within

In this meditation we first bring awareness to the experience and remind ourselves of our common human humanity. We then send ourselves and others good wishes and loving kindness

In this meditation with Beate we gently scan the body and end with sending ourselves good wishes and love.

In this meditation with Berenice we practice self-compassion by sending love and good wishes to ourselves.

This meditation starts with a bodyscan. It then invites you to bring awareness to a difficult situation or feeling that is present in your mind. We will explore it in the body and bring kindness to the sensation. It follows the basic structure of the acronym RAIN that US meditation teacher Tara Brach tends to use: Recognize, accept, investigate and nourish. At the end you are invited to send yourself some love by using wordings that makes sense to you. The meditation ends with awareness of breathing. One word of caution: This meditation is not advised in case you have suffered a traumatic experience. In this case it is best to seek professional support.  

In this meditation with Steve we first send some good wishes and love to a friend and then we apply the same feeling to ourselves. 

In this meditation with Steve you are invited to bring gentle awareness to a difficult emotion. If possible, feel it in your body and allow it to be there for the time of the meditation.
