Lesson 1 - Meet Your Inner Buddha! The first thing you need is to become aware of your ability to observe your own mind and thoughts and to learn how to do that consistently. For beginners it's key to learn how to handle the inner noise (too many thoughts, restlessness, problems with silence, pain etc.). The first lesson is the starting point you need.
Lesson 2 - Develop a Mindful Connection to your Body! Learn how to perceive your body in meditation by meditating standing up, sitting on a chair and lying on the ground. Mindfulness of the body is the fundamental thing to learn. Find out about how to organize your meditation space at home.
Lesson 3 - Find your Sitting Meditation Posture! Learn how to sit down correctly by finding your personal sitting meditation posture. Learn how mindfulness of the body and a good posture help you to relax and even to self-heal your body, your mind and your emotions. Learn everything you need to know about time: duration, moments during the day and frequency of your personal meditation sessions.
Lesson 4 - Learn how to concentrate properly on your breathing! Why is concentration on breathing so important and so helpful? How does it work exactly? Find out how concentration on your breathing in meditation can be enough to completely transform your mind, your emotions and your life.
Your Instructor
I've been practicing buddhist meditation for nearly 20 years now (Zen / Vipassana / Thich Nhat Hanh) and I've been teaching it for over 10 years in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Southamerica. In 2014 I wrote and published the book "Gehmeditation im Alltag" (Walking Meditation In Everyday Life) in German which was published in 2015 also in Italian.
I live and work in Ticino/Switzerland teaching meditation and transformation in courses, seminars and individual therapy-sessions live and online.
By adding a component of emotional and energetic transformation to the buddhist meditation practice of the "Four Foundations of Mindfulness" (Satipatthana) using guided visualized meditations I developed the TALO®-Meditation: "Transformation through Awareness and Love".
I experienced the effectiveness of TALO® first on myself and then saw impressive changes over the years in many of my practicing friends and clients. I'm sure it can help you as well.
Liberate your mind,
heal your emotions
and enjoy life
more and more every day!
