Live Meditation with Michael Verlouw
Belichaamd mediteren – Stap 2 Ontspannen
Discover – in this six-part series – the three layers of embodiment. That of the earthly body of flesh and blood, the subtle body of sensory experience and emotion, and the conscious body of 'knowing'.
In six weeks we explore these layers by focusing on the physical, energetic and mental dimensions of the human experience.
Each meeting starts with a short introduction of approximately 15 minutes, followed by a guided meditation of approximately 30 minutes, using the acronym G.R.O.U.N.D.
G.R.O.U.N.D. stands for Grounding, Relaxing, Opening, Untangling, Caring and Resolving.
Today the second meditation. We continue exploring the Earthly Body using the Relaxation instruction.
Have fun practicing.

Although mindfulness has its roots in Buddhism, you don't have to be a Buddhist at all to practice mindfulness. The well-known American professor Jon Kabat-Zinn developed mindfulness training forty years ago by detaching the technique of meditation from the Buddhist context and making it accessible to Westerners. Religion is not involved in the training, but accessible meditation exercises, yoga and other ways to learn to live more consciously. Meanwhile, the MBSR (English: mindfulness-based stress reduction) and MBCT (English: mindfulness-based cognitive therapy) are very popular and fully accepted in the West.
Mindfulness refers to:
- The mindfulness training, developed to teach people to live more consciously and to deal with stress, thoughts and emotions differently.

The substantive line that we at 30NOW Following is a contemporary approach to Buddhist meditation. Central is the practice of mindfulness or attention: an acknowledging awareness of physical and mental experiences. Although there are differences in styles and content of the meditations offered, they all align with the principle of mindfulness. Meditations are also offered that can develop other qualities such as calmness, kindness and compassion.
