Let’s start the day with a relaxing Lying Meditation. You can do it on the floor, on a yoga mat, on your couch, you don’t even have to get out of bed. Before your mind gets too active, you can open your senses and regulate your nervous system. This will help you stay in a relaxed state of mind for the rest of the day, even if you have a lot to do.

What is lying meditation?
Lying meditation is a form of meditation in a lying position. Unlike traditional sitting meditation, you can completely relax your muscles and focus on your breathing and your body. It is an accessible form of meditation, especially for beginners or people who have difficulty sitting still for long periods of time.
What kind of meditation?
Each time is different, but the meditations are simple, they last about 30-45 minutes and are easy to get into. Here are three examples of lying down meditation:
- Body scan: You focus your attention systematically on different parts of your body, from your toes to your head. By becoming aware of physical sensations, you learn to release tension.
- Breathing meditation: During a breathing meditation you focus on your breathing. You follow the movement of your breath in and out, without influencing it. This helps you to calm your thoughts and be present in the moment.
- Visualization: With visualization, you use your imagination to create a relaxing environment. For example, you can imagine yourself lying on a beach or walking through a forest.
What are the advantages?
- Increased concentration: Meditation can improve your ability to concentrate.
- Relaxation: Lying down meditation helps you reduce stress and relax your muscles.
- Reduced anxiety and depression: Meditation can help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
- Increased self-awareness: By directing your attention inward, you learn to know and understand yourself better.
For who?
The meditation is open to everyone. Everyone is welcome: all genders, all orientations, all ages, experienced or not. You can decide for yourself whether you participate in shorts, leggings, in underwear or in your pajamas. Before the meditation we check in with each other, to hear our names and share how we feel. The meeting is held in English, unless all participants are Dutch.
