Shine Meditation
Shine Meditation
Every Monday at 19:00 in Ripa International Center / Landguet Ried
Start : Monday 20th March 2023
SHINE, the meditation of calm abiding, also called Shamata, comes from the Buddhist tradition, but it is useful for everyone, regardless of faith or religion.
We familiarise ourselves with this meditation technique and practise it. We therefore learn to calm our mind, to be fully mindful in the present and to find our way from duality to oneness. In the calm abiding, the heart expands and peace sets in. We become more open and loving towards ourselves and others.
No previous meditation experience is necessary for participation.
The classes will be held in german.
The meditation is offered on the basis of Dhana.
“Dana” is Sanskrit and means “free gift”, everyone pays what they feel is appropriate for the lesson and what suits their possibilities.
You will be guided by Christian Zimmerhäckel and Gabriela Grimm.
