Meditation
A tool for learning
How Science works?
In each section we shall learn breathing techniques and meditations to bring awareness into a certain question in Science. Then we look for patterns and relationships in nature to abstract the main ideas around this question. Finally we discuss how to apply our understandings in order to connect these patterns in a conceptual map or Matrix.

AWARENESS
In order to construct new learning, we need to be thinking about something .
Let us think about how we perceive the world around us.
How do we know where we are?
Ujjai Breath. How?
Ujjai Pranayama
Meditation Elements / Senses
ABSTRACTION
When we notice patterns and relationships we abstract them from the context in which we have found them, and consider if there is a generalisation or principle at work.
How does the energy from the universe enter our own body mind system?
How do we see and how do we hear?
APPLICATION
To test our ideas out, we apply our generalisation to a new context to see if it works there too, or if we need to adjust it in someway
How can we connect perception with the five elements of Nature? Does it make sense to all? Complete the first column of the matrix (perception)
- What are we here for ? 45%
AWARENESS
In order to construct new learning, we need to be thinking about something
Let us think about what can we do with the energy that enters our body-mind system:
What is the difference between Energy and Work? What is an action?
Alternate Breath
Meditation Actions
ABSTRACTION
When we notice patterns and relationships we abstract them from the context in which we have found them, and consider if there is a generalisation or principle at work
What are all our possible actions?
APPLICATION
To test our ideas out, we apply our generalisation to a new context to see if it works there too, or if we need to adjust it in someway.
How can we connect the actions with the five elements? Does it make sense to all of us?

- How are we connected to the Universe? 70%
AWARENESS
In order to construct new learning, we need to be thinking about something:
How does the systems inside the body work?
How does the systems outside the body work?

Meditation Macro & Micro Cosmos
ABSTRACTION
When we notice patterns and relationships we abstract them from the context in which we have found them, and consider if there is a generalisation or principle at work:
Is there a connection between the cycles in the Macro Cosmos (outside the body), the systems inside the body (Microcosmos) and the five elements of Nature?
APPLICATION
To test our ideas out, we apply our generalisation to a new context to see if it works there too, or if we need to adjust it in someway:
Can we generalize our ideas about the macro cosmos, the micro cosmos and the five elements in a conceptual map or matrix?

- What is real? 100%
AWARENESS
In order to construct new learning, we need to be thinking about something:
What is REALITY? Why is it that many cultures (Hindu, Buddhist, etc) describe it as MAYA?
Sound Meditation AUM
ABSTRACTION
When we notice patterns and relationships we abstract them from the context in which we have found them, and consider if there is a generalisation or principle at work:
Maya means “ALL WE CAN MEASURE”. This is in fact, what Physics is all about!
What is then the Physical world?
APPLICATION
To test our ideas out, we apply our generalisation to a new context to see if it works there too, or if we need to adjust it in someway:
Can we connect the different fields of Physics with the five elements of Nature? Can we all agree on this?

TESTIMONIALS
Mindfulness sessions helped me create visuals of the topics studied in class so I could understand better. But apart from the learning topics, it helps me make sense of this world I live in. It makes me feel alive and active and sometimes shows me what I can be capable of and what I can become.
“We got lost in doing, thinking, anticipating.
We have forgotten how to be.
To be still, to be ourselves.
To be where live is: HERE and NOW
Whenever you bring your attention to anything natural,
you step out of the prison of conceptualized thinking and to some extent participate in the state of connectivity with being in which everything natural still exists
Only when you are still inside you have access to the realm of stillness in which rocks plants and animals inhabit.
When human beings become still they go beyond thought. There is an added dimension of awareness in the stillness that is beyond thought.
Through you Nature becomes aware of itself”
(Eckhart tolle)
