K17009: CALM IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM – Practicing full consciousness of the breath

Stress, anxiety and worries are prevalent in our society. Is there a path that leads out of the storms of our life into inner peace?
There is a way of living differently. When we practice to be fully conscious of our breath we reach a state of deep relaxation. In this course we will examine the teachings of full consciousness of the breath, as they are explained in the Anapanasati Sutra. We will learn to view our current situation through the insights of the sutra by embracing, transforming and releasing our difficult emotions. We will practice breathing exercises, walking and sitting meditation to improve our health and unfold our full energy potential.
