07:30 - 08:30|Morning Meditation

Session by Aimée Coenen | Online

Do you often start your day rushed? Waking up and scrolling through Instagram? Eating your breakfast while checking your e-mails? 

Well, then you might feel scattered and overloaded before the day has even started. A morning meditation helps to start your day feeling grounded and in flow,refreshed and inspired. 

By taking the time to meditate in the morning, you give your mind a chance to wake up. You give your mind and yourself time to prepare, before you dive into tasks or your to-do list. And this will definitely determine the success of your day!

Let me guide you through a mindful morning mediation and experience the benefits of it yourself. Welcome!

If you join the session, make sure to be in a comfortable location where you won't get disturbed.
