Meditation for Life

“You arrive as a work in progress and you leave as a work in progress” – Don Stapleton

Stillness within through meditation

Learn how to meditate or deepen your practice, to support your everyday life!

Curious about trying out meditation or different meditation techniques? Then this program is for you. During six weeks you'll be exploring six different guided meditations under the guidance of Eleonora Ramsby Herrera, yoga- and meditation teacher. You'll receive insights on meditation as a practice, different techniques as well as finding a deeper connection to your stillness and self.

Purpose of the program

The purpose of the program is to offer you a variation of basic meditation practices that serve to cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and compassion towards yourself. This while supporting you in connecting with the present moment, and your inner soul- and heart wisdom.

Who is this program for?

The program is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners who wish to explore a contemporary and alternative approach to mindfulness meditation. It is for you who prefer to be guided through meditations that are structured around a particular theme of exploration, and that include breath, body scans, image work, hand gestures (mudras) and mental affirmations.

Program overview

The program includes six sessions that follow a progressive order. We suggest you practice one session per week, and explore it 2-3 times, before moving on to the next session. The focus and practice of each week:

Week 1: Body and breath awareness – including introduction to the program
Week 2: Rest in seat of self
Week 3: Harness strength and focus
Week 4: Tapping into soul wisdom through imagination
Week 5: Cultivate trust and patience
Week 6: Loving Kindness Meditation

Keep in mind

To make the most out of your meditation practice there are some things to keep in mind:

Ensure you feel comfortable enough in your body and posture to remain still during the practice. If you at any point experience physical discomfort during the meditation, then know that you do not have to endure that. Instead, you can mindfully adapt your posture and return to focusing on your practice once you’ve established a more comfortable position.

Feel free to use whatever extra support you need to help support your posture, whether that is a chair, an extra pillow or blanket.

Some days are easier, some days are more difficult. Acceptance and compassion are your best friends!

It is a process. Take small steps and try your best to be patient with yourself.

You are practicing for the sake of practicing, not to achieve an outcome.

Video Guide

You are almost halfway through the program. Lots of thoughts and feelings may appear. Be open to them, observe and listen, but try not to let them control you. Maybe write them down to get some release.

Week 3

It's time to move into the third week of your practice. How are you feeling? Observe what comes up, and maybe write it down in order to release what might be holding you back. This week's meditation invites you to explore and connect with your inner felt sense of strength and focus with the help of a mental intention. The practice encourages you to harness that intention through a physical hand gesture, called mudra, and a mental affirmation.

Continue to meditate at least 2-3 times this week.

Week 4

Halfway through – welcome to week 4! In this week's practice you will use the imagination to tap into your inner source of wisdom. You will be introduced to some image work whereby you get to imagine and visualize the “light of your soul” travelling through different parts of the body. This is an abstract and experiential practice that invites you to connect your imagination with your felt body experience and to listen inwards to any messages of wisdom that arise as you do so.

This week you may be able to start increasing the number of meditation sessions to 3-4 times.
