Live Meditation with Michael Verlouw
De natuurlijke boom van toevlucht
In many Buddhist traditions it is customary to connect – in the heart/mind – with teachers and other inspiring figures who can support the practice before beginning the practice.
Such a way of taking refuge can support our intention and give us a sense of being part of something bigger, something broader, something deeper than our own individual practice. We are part of a tradition.
In the Theravada tradition – the tradition in which many of my teachers, including myself, are trained – this form of practice is used less often.
I would like to bring about change in that.
That's why this meditation: The Natural Tree of Refuge. A relaxing meditation that grounds and connects you.

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 term Podcast is a contraction of iPod and broadcast. A podcast is an audio broadcast that you can subscribe to (for free).
