Meditation Explained

Here at QiBelly, we offer structured programs that adapt and fit to whatever it is that you bring to the table.

From basic mindful techniques that improve your quality of life, to more in depth methods that create potential and freedom from habits that no longer serve you.

Relieve stress, strengthen clarity. Learn how to become more sensitive and adaptable. Apply it to your art, your work, or your conversation. The idea is to make meditation habit. Once it becomes habit, we in turn create a new standard of awareness.

The word meditation is a big concept. It embodies more than just being calm and relaxed. And these days the marketing associated with meditation as a commodity has almost become blasphemous in many respects. Hahaha.

I am from the old school. I think of meditation in terms of expansion, exploration and full bodied freedom. Being relaxed and calm is relatively important at first, don’t get me wrong. For many of us, being calm and relaxed is near impossible. So understanding the basics, and spending time with the fundamental building blocks of a practice can’t be sped up or skipped. It’s a life practice that continually changes and shifts. Nothing is ever the same. The approach to a practice and the effects should be understood accordingly.

I am quite passionate about meditation, but to be honest, I find speaking on it awkward and lacking of actual substance. Trying to bring intellectual or analytical perception to this form of training only gets in the way of the practice.

The phrase ‘no mind’ is important concept. It relates to the phrase ‘nothingness’ – but like these two ideas are highly misunderstood. No mind doesn’t mean a lack of brain and nothingness doesn’t mean nothing. Its quite the opposite actually.
