Goal: learning to focus through a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness and exhaustion. During the day our attention often goes to thoughts and concerns and we are not aware of that. You learn to step out of the auto pilot and to notice where your attention is. It works for those who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. It helps promote a genuine joy of life.
The course is experiential and the exercises are guided meditations (you hear a voice giving instructions). The exercises are practical and specific, you can do them sitting or lying down. The practicing itself is the most important part of the course and requires daily commitment.

Goal: compassion is the ability to make us feel involved with the pain and suffering of ourselves and others, and to have the courage and willingness to do something about it. Anyone can make this ability grow by exercise. Research has shown that there is a strong relationship between compassion and health, well being and defensibility by setbacks. Compassion is also called Heartfulness: living from the heart. Exercises that are heartwarming because you are more kind to yourself and to others.
Through practical exercises you learn to develop Compassion further and to apply it into your daily life; being kind to yourself and others. You learn to see your “inner critic” (like a voice inside your head) that is constantly commenting on the things you do. The (Self)Compassion exercises can help you to acknowledge the existance of the inner critic (instead of denying) , to see the positive intention of it and thereby noticing it sooner when it is or wants to be in charge. Through Mindfulness you learn to Focus on things that really matter and to notice when your mind wanders. Through Compassion you deepen your Mindfulness experience and it opens your Heart.
