THE PRACTICE

Meditation trains our mind to redirect our thoughts, welcome our emotions and be more present to our body and breath for better balance, decision-making, confidence and mental hygiene. Meditation is a simple practice for developing attention in the present moment, calming oneself, letting go and learning to listen to oneself. It leads to inner serenity, greater energy, mental well-being and better sleep. Beyond the pleasure of enjoying a moment to yourself, it's about experiencing the present moment, without judgment, in awareness.

​

Mindfulness meditation is a simple practice, and not an easy one, because we're not used to paying attention to ourselves, to “being”. If anything, society's injunctions have pushed us away from ourselves. We've learned to focus on “doing” or “having”. With the practice of meditation, we learn to calm ourselves, to listen to ourselves and to develop our attention on our attention, without judgment, with intention, in the present moment. No experience is necessary. Accessible to all.

​​

In sitting meditation, attention is usually focused on the breath. There are, however, different forms of mindfulness meditation, such as focusing on sounds.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Enter the calm that's already within you

The hour of mindfulness meditation together unfolds as follows:

• Brief introduction/reminder on the meditation practice or theme of the day.

• Two 10-15 minute guided practices on different themes such as conscious breathing, body scan, let go, trust, compassion, self-love, simplifying, connecting with others, mental disconnect, etc.

• Discussion of the practice.

• Sharing feelings and answering questions.

Between practice, sharing and a little theory, this is a warm, authentic moment, both with yourself and in a small group. I bring you my full presence, my listening skills and my kindness.​

"Curled up on my sofa, despite the All Saints' Day skies at the end of March, I experienced an enchanted interlude that I wanted to share, for the 4th time thanks to Sonia Kofman. For a long time, I'd been tempted by the idea of being initiated into meditation... and the opportunity was unhoped-for, bedridden by obligation, I was lucky enough to meet and discover this young woman who has brought me so much. Behind her pleasant looks, there's a very solid professional background, not so common in this field! Many years of study, experience, personal involvement, love of others and of her profession, hence the diversity of her proposals. She's a woman who She's found her way, she's helping me to get better... I hope you enjoy her. A combination of obvious skills, firmness nonetheless, listening, attention and so much kindness that the word "sharing" often punctuates her words. So let's share!" Simone D., March 2024
