Meditation for beginners in the Buddhist Theravada tradition of Ajahn Chah
Meditation is a skill that can help guide you through life's ups and downs. Learning to calm the mind and body then use skills to examine the experiences we have in order to come to new understandings of how we suffer. We will learn basic mindfulness of the breath and bodily sensations, how to bring up loving-kindness and compassion for oneself and others plus learning the basic tenets of Buddhism including impermanence, unsatisfactoriness and not-self or emptiness.
I was an ordained Buddhist nun in the Theravada tradition for 11 years and continue to practise this path daily. My teacher was Ajahn Sumedho (senior student of Ajahn Chah) who gave his blessing for me to continue teaching out of the monastery.
Guidance will be given so that you will be able to foster a regular meditation practise navigating any obstacles along the way in a way that enriches understanding.

✅COACHING / MANAGEMENT CONSULTING / COMMUNICATION WITHIN MARITAL / COUPLE & FAMILY RELATIONSIn our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.
Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.
Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.
By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).
Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each
Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools
- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.
- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.
- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.
- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.
- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.
