Finding inner peace and joy with our daily morning meditations
until 2 April 2021 included
In these turbulent times, mindfulness is a powerful practice to help us develop a calm mind that is less affected by external events. Therefore, we are offering daily morning meditations with various Brussels Mindfulness teachers. These sessions take place every morning for 30 minutes, to start the day in a peaceful way. They are hosted via zoom, an easy to use tool for online meetings which allows for interactivity. It will be just like a regular meditation session in which you can ask questions, share and interact.
The meditations are intended to release fear, to feel connected to and supported by a community of meditators and to start the day with a positive mindset. If we allow our mind to continuously focus on fear and worry, it will become an anxious mind. But if we cultivate peace, contentment and love, we train ourselves to be well and peaceful, even when the world is in distress.
Each morning at 8.00 CET we start the day with a different meditation to tap into our own sense of calm and contentment: calming and grounding, gratitude, loving kindness, mountain meditations and much more. We will also practice some positive neuroplasticity meditations to establish a deep inner core of peace, contentment and love.
At the end of the practice, we offer the possibility to share your experience and how you feel, as you see your meditation companions on the screen. Meditating and sharing in this way is a powerful tool to feel less lonely, more connected and loved. There is a sense of belonging to the "Sangha", a group of like-minded meditators who support each other in these difficult times.

Our teacher Jake Dartington explains why mindfulness is so helpful in this pandemic:

Feedback from participants of previous courses and online sessions
"Thank you Beate for this excellent initiative! This meditation session came in very timely and will surely help us all cope in these times of stress and fear. I must say I feel much better prepared to start my day now, after this nice cocktail of meditation practices, with a positive mindset! Have a good day yourself and keep up the good work!"
"This course was everything I expected and so much more! Beate was such a good teacher, so kind and gentle with us and our progress. I really recommend this institute if you want to learn mindfulness. Your life won't be the same afterwards, promised! Thank you so much, Beate, for everything you taught me!"
"I highly recommend Brussels Mindfulness. The teachers and approach were the right balance of providing a conceptual understanding, hands-on practice, personal and peer reflections and dialogue to understand and integrate what we have learnt into what we do and who we are. The impact has been immediate and keeps on going- it is an investment that positively affects the foundation of self and holistic wellbeing."
"The programme was a real eye opener. I love the coach and the group, everything was done in an atmosphere of compassion and understanding. I feel like now I have this big toolbox that I can keep developing and digging into whenever I face difficult and stressful situations."
