Meditation and Qigong Course: Zoom online – Every Weekday February 17th – 28th
When: 17.02.25
10 Zoom sessions lasting for 30 minutes each. You can have the recordings if you are not able to make the live classes. Every day we will start at 8:00 am, apart from on the 2 Wednesday’s when we will start at 7:30 am.
In general, we tend to suffer more in our imagination than we do in reality. Negative thoughts, anxiety, being concerned about the future, these are all perfectly normal thoughts. By using meditation techniques, you should be able to focus your mind more on the things you enjoy in life and learn to worry less. By moving slowly and breathing deeply for 10 days, this will help your mind to slow down as you become more relaxed and you let go of tension.
Cost £20.00
