This course invites you to get to know the "Settling the Mind Meditation" as taught by Dr. Thupten Jinpa, Tibetan teacher and academic. It is a special form of mindfulness meditation that is also practiced in a lying posture and encourages us to let go of mind habits and body tensions. We allow our body and mind to slow down their energy and to settle down. The focus of this practice is on exploring letting go on a physical, emotional and mental level. We can learn to 'hear' and 'feel' deep stillness and peace within us. “This inner space is serene, restful and slow” (Th. Jinpa). After a short arrival meditation and an introduction to the basics of "Settling the Mind" we will practice both concentration on sinking in, and also reflect together on the need and longing for a mind that is serene and settled.
