From January 4 to 25, 2026.
The course consists of two-hour practical sessions designed to teach ancient breathing meditation and somatic movement exercises applicable to your daily routine (see the international course schedule below in "notes").
You will learn breathing patterns, somatic practices, and meditations over 1,500 years old that help harmonize your physical and emotional systems for a more peaceful life (provided you commit to practicing the techniques regularly).
Program aimed at those who truly wish to learn the most ancient foundations of breath meditation and somatic movement (FREE for meditating elephants who have completed one of the following programs: HUMAN BEING TRAINING; 21/30 DAYS MEDITATING; 1:1 MEDITATIVE MODE.)
Below, under "notes" you can download a sample PDF Reading Manual with the entire theoretical portion of the course (the full 30-page document will be shared within the course).
"To think in terms of pessimism or optimism is to oversimplify life. Things just flow"
– Thich Nhat Hanh –
SESSION 1 – The mind inhabiting the body. Breathing meditation to master mental noise and emotional saboteurs densified in the body. (Stillness and rest exercises).
SESSION 2 – Detachment and empowerment. Breathing meditation to strengthen confidence in life and in oneself. (Exercises using the mouth and nose).
SESSION 3 – The body as an emotional processing tool. Somatic and breathing meditation practices to remove accumulated emotional content from the joints. (Dynamic meditation exercises).
SESSION 4 – Harmonizing the nervous, endocrine and circulatory systems. Somatic and breath meditation practices to generate harmony and chemical-nervous balance in the body. (Sensory meditation exercises).
* While the practical portion of these sessions will be covered in live Zoom meditations, the theoretical part will be covered in the PDF Reading Manual, a partial sample of which you can download below under "notes."
While this course is geared towards those with a genuine interest in learning the most ancient foundations of breathing meditation, it also aims to refresh the basic breathing and meditative practices we learned in the programs HUMAN BEING TRAINING; 21/30 DAYS MEDITATING; and 1:1 MEDITATIVE MODE.
Therefore, if you have already participated in any of the previous programs, my motivation with this course is to create a safe space where we can update our knowledge together, learn new breathing combinations, new meditative exercises tailored to our emotional needs, and share experiences about how our meditation practice has developed since we last met in a course or training program.
"Meditation does not seek to change experience, but to change the relationship we have with it"
– Jon Kabat-Zinn –
First I give a brief talk to introduce the topic of the day theoretically, then we move on to practice.
At the end there is space for attendees to ask questions, express comments or share experiences if they wish; This is with the aim of clarifying the techniques so that you can practice them correctly during the week.
And now the sessions last 2 hours!
