Zazen - seated meditation

Zazen means sitting meditation and is the most widespread form of meditation in most of the Zen Buddhist temples in Japan. It is one of the oldest and most proven techniques for practicing presence, acceptance and peace of mind.

Not getting stuck in your thoughts is, however, much more difficult than you might think, but you will get tools on how to let go of your thoughts. The long-term effects are many, including better collaboration, a better working climate and increased creativity. You will therefore receive tips on how you can meditate at home with inspiration from the Zen monks!


DO-IN SELF MASSAGE / SHIATSU

Do-​In (Dao Yin) is a Japanese form of self-shiatsu that balances the energy in our body. Shiatsu is a form of treatment that was developed during the early 20th century in Japan and which gives our life energy "Ki" a free flow mainly through stagnations that are dissolved and the blood vessels dilated. Do-in is based on the same principles, but is a self-treatment technique where we stimulate the energy in our meridians.

We will tap, massage and press on different energy points on our heads and body to wake-up in the morning or get renewed energy during the day.

NOVELTY! - THE POWER OF BREATH

We all know how we feel affects our breathing. But most of us will benefit from learning how to control our nervous system and how we feel through different breathing techniques. We will briefly introduce you to three different techniques that will give you an immediate effect and for various reasons are good tools to have during the day. An exercise for stress reduction before, during and after the working day. A balancing breathing exercise, which is the basis for long-term healthy breathing. An energizing breathing exercise that replaces coffee in the morning and during the rest of the working day.

NOVELTY! - CUPPING MASSAGE OF THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE

In this session we place 100% eco friendly silicone cups on our skin that creates a vacuum which works like a reversed massage, lifting the skin and connective tissue. This increases the blood circulation, activates the lymphatic system and reduces stagnation.
We focus on areas that usually suffer from stationary work in front of the computer and alike. Stagnant energy, lymph fluid and blood will start to flow again which releases pain and stiffness. Cupping is popular because you can place the cups yourself on stiff and sore parts of the body while you work, walk around, relax, etc.

Office Yoga

Simple yoga exercises that are primarily performed sitting on a chair. The exercises are simple but yet effectfull to relax your mind & body, particularly beneficial for people who work in stationary positions. Sitting still and uncomfortable working positions make us stiff and sore, especially in the shoulders and back. The focus is therefore on resolving tensions in these particular areas.
The exercises are easy to remember and perform daily or when necessary at work. A great tool for increased well-being and a sustainable working life!
