As the Buddhist tradition says, our “monkey mind” jumps from branch to branch and does not stop. We do, think, control, organize, plan and feed second by second that constant mental noise. Thus, the essence of meditation is nothing more than to calm and reduce this mental noise. By installing ourselves in the pause, in the silence, in the deep mental rest. Meditation is not about leaving the mind blank, but about training it to direct and control the material inside our mind.

We will begin with an introduction to meditation in which we will talk about the various traditions and the different techniques for meditating. We will perform a relaxation to prepare the body and mind to the practice of meditation with breathing exercises and stretching that will make us connect with our body and our emotions. The workshop is designed for you to experience different meditation techniques so we will do short but deep practices (mental calm, guided meditation, visualization).

Finally, we will do a meditation with mantra chanting, one of the most traditional and beautiful techniques. The word mantra means “tool of the mind”, it helps us to concentrate and calm the mind. It helps us to concentrate and calm the mind. It consists of repeating a short phrase (it can be a prayer or a set of words that convey a purpose or an idea), when you say it out loud, either as a chant or as a phrase, the mind relaxes and concentrates on the present moment. During our workshop, we will introduce you to the most popular mantras of the Buddhist and Hindu tradition and we will finish by performing a Kirtan, a mantra chant in which a very special atmosphere is created.
