You are wellcome with or without Meditation Experience

Mindfulness Meditation is basic in all buddhist schools and traditions.

In Mindfulness Meditation the focus is in awareness of what is happening in this moment and in this place.

During meditation we just notice occurences in our body and our surroundings without any judgment.

This attitude of open acceptance presents insights into the natur of our mind as well as into the natur of reality.

Mindfulness is oneness with everything that happens.

Meditation unit is structured through twenty minutes sitting meditation, ten minutes of slow walking meditation, ending with another twenty minutes sitting meditation.

Meditative sitting and meditative walking are expressions of our pure being.

Life happens in this moment.

In this breath.

In this step.
