Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - What is it, and how can it help me?

The “here and now” is the only time and place where our body and mind can be present together. Let me show you how.

Seize this time to set a strong inner anchor for the upcoming marathon under Covid-19. Enjoy these 9 minutes to yourself with all your senses — and see what it feels like to anchor yourself in the “here an now.”

Mindfulness teaches us to be attentive to our senses, so that we can keep our mind and body connected in the present moment. We learn to do this by free choice – not to leave this up to chance. And we learn to do it with a self-healing touch.

Welcome to our second mindfulness exercise, the "Body Scan". This time, you will hear the voice of Kristin Neff guiding you – she is the founding mother of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) concept. Enjoy a relaxing 25-minute journey through your body while training your mindfulness skills.

Let’s hit the pause button for a minute. How are you doing, after the self-learning exercises you did over these past few days?

“Seize the moment! Do not escape into illusions in the past or the future. Collect your mind where you are, with a sharpened consciousness for the present moment. There is no other space to be but here.” — Drukpa Rinpoche

Today, we learn how to save energy by practicing self-care. The rule is to keep away from self-criticism. Instead, we pause — and then, we formulate a well-meaning wish to ourselves.

Our thoughts vary in “stickiness.” Some of them are easier to dispose than others. When it comes to our stickier thoughts, it’s less about eliminating them, but about deciding what kind of relations we want to form with them. Today, we learn a healthy “mind hygiene.”

We don’t have to meditate our problems away. We don’t have to dream or work hard for some “ideal life” in our future. Our life is happening right here and now – with all that it needs. Walk your life!
