39 Meditation courses in Rosyth

I offer private and group sessions of Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) as a certified Guide. We’ll merge with the beauty of nature in Edinburgh area embracing Japanese rituals of the Yamabushi Shamans and practicing Forest Bathing. If you have ever been among trees in a woodland, listening to the birds, walking, or simply searching for some silence, you have already experienced the Japanese practice of shrin-yoku or forest bathing. In Japanese, “shinrin” means forest and “yoku” means bath, or immersing oneself in the forest and soaking in the atmosphere through the senses. Breathing deeply and finding peace in nature has a massive positive role on your body and mind. Plants release substances from their leaves that are effective in positively stimulating the immune system, as many studies have proved. Forgetting your mobiles and usual busy schedule, in the magic atmosphere of nature , you will take this time off for yourself only to re-build and re-create the cycle that naturally links human beings with nature as a part of the whole. It will be your slowing down time to re-connect literally with your roots.  Some time of digital detoxing will help you to pay attention to your breath, to use all of your senses, to meditate while walking, to dance freely, to stay silent. When did you last touch a tree trunk, or notice the symphony of animals and leaves dancing around you? We will create our sacred space in this time of reconnection with a shamanic ceremony . In this ceremony, you will receive guidance, healing and inspiration, you will learn how to create an altar, smudging with burning sacred herbs, calling the seven directions and then receiving your talking stick to share your heart with your close beautiful circle of souls for this circle. A ceremony is spontaneous, a ceremony is unique, a ceremony is a direct connection with the spirits of the land.  Think about what you need to re-create in your life. Think about what you want to re-connect with along your path. Ask for guidance and the fairies will answer, they always do. Sessions normally last at least 120min plus the walking time to enter the woodland and find a suitable spot according to the season changes in the green (allow extra 30/45min walk and return ) and the current price is for 1-1. Private groups will receive a bespoke quote. If you wish to have a longer session a bespoke price will be provided.  Giada's Journey Creative explorer of the human well-being with twenty years’ experience running events, workshops and retreats.

Based on the book 'Sleep Recovery' by Lisa Sanfilippo, we will work through the 5 steps towards recovering your rest - with a mixture of discussion/information and techniques, tools and practices to assist a better night's sleep.

ROOTS In the whirlwind of daily life, we often miss the present. But what if we paused? By cultivating awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and the world around us, we unlock a path to greater well-being. This practice, known as mindfulness, allows us to savour life's experiences and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. Have you ever noticed yourself multitasking on autopilot? Working from home with the TV on, scrolling through your phone while eating, or rushing through your day without truly being present? In today's digital age, it's easy to become scattered and disconnected.  That's where "Roots" comes in. The name has a reason just like our life. Our roots, both physical and metaphorical, connect us to the earth's energy. Yoga mimic these roots, anchoring us in the present moment. Mindfulness becomes the fertile ground where inner wisdom and true self can flourish.  I am NIROSHINI, and I've been practising yoga since the age of 6. With a background rooted in yoga and naturopathy studies in India, I'm passionate about sharing the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness. Drawing from the wisdom of Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga traditions, we have a tapestry of mindful movement, breathwork, postures, (asanas), meditation, and relaxation techniques. This holistic approach cultivates peace, strength, and awareness on both on and off the mat. At Roots, we believe yoga is a transformative tool for a happier, healthier you. Discover your roots and embark on this journey of mindful well-being.  This will be your path to reconnect with yourself. Through gentle yoga practices and mindfulness techniques, you'll learn to cultivate present-moment awareness and a sense of calm amidst the everyday chaos. Imagine truly savouring your meals, quieting your mind during work, increased productivity and finding peace in the simple moments. Through “Roots” you'll experience a dramatic shift in your well-being and the way you look at the journey of your life. Join me on this journey to find your roots and discover the joy of mindful living. Contact us : +447395275754 Instagram: therootsedinburgh

BECOME A SPIRITUAL WARRIOR MENTOR  A journey through Japanese shamanism and philosophy in 13 modules during 3 full week-ends, available online and in person, to become a Spiritual Warrior Mentor and learn practical shamanic practices to use in your sessions and group work.  This will require the completion of some case studies and homeworks.  It gives you the opportunity to add a job qualification to your holistic experience that can be used in individual sessions or group events. We are a globally certified IPHM training provider (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine). MODULES 1) Loving your imperfection through Wabi Sabi: accept the impermanence of things and recognise the beauty of imperfection, learning to flow like a river. In this module you will learn not to attach yourself to a theory, to a knowledge, but learn how to become flexible in order to be powerful and solve any life problem. 2) Embrace your wish to change through Kaizen: Kaizen is an approach to creating continuous improvement based on the idea that small, ongoing positive changes can reap significant improvements compared to radical changes to achieve transformation. In this module you will learn how to master the art of creating habits. 3) Face life challenges and storm through Hanafubuki: through 'the cherry blossom storm' we have the magical moment when the sakuras begin to fall, creating a delicate blizzard of petals. This concept of ephemeral beauty is a metaphor for human life, rich and beautiful but also fragile and fleeting. In this module you will learn how to remain calm to make the best decisions. 4) Express your own emotions and welcome those of others through Omoiyari: Omoiyari is commonly translated to empathy, but it actually has a deeper meaning; it literally means to give your thoughts to others. In this module you will learn how to release your own emotions and develop empathy and compassion for others. 5) Repair your own soul wounds through Kintsugi: Kintsugi is the art of mending broken objects with gold, it is the art of treasuring your wounds by repairing them with the gold of pure aesthetic experience. The wounds of our lives are seen through the eyes of the soul,which receives and heals them with the gold of death,of rebirth and freedom. In this module you will learn to perform a rite of passage after which nothing will be the same as before. 6) Master the art of patience through Nintai: Nintai is the power of enduring without complaint, without looking for quick results. It means sticking to your path, trusting the process, to your beliefs. In this module you will learn to never give up, to wait for the right time for things to happen. 7) How gratitude changes you and your brain through Itadakimasu: this word means “I humbly receive” and relates to the traditional way of showing gratitude by elevating above one’s head the gift received. Through time, itadakimasu became the expression showing appreciation for the food received. In this module you will learn the benefits of gratitude on your mental health. 8) Learn to become grounded through Shinrin-Yoku: Immersion in nature has scientifically proven therapeutic effects: it can reduce stress hormone concentrations in the body, strengthen the immune system, regulate blood pressure and heart rate, and lower cholesterol. Shinrin-Yoku is an adventure of deep communion with nature. In this module you will learn how to ground yourself. 9) Develop the best version of you through Hanasaki: this is the blossom of a flower. You will use this word for blossoming the best version of yourself. No matter who you are, where you come from, what your path has been so far, in this module you will learn to aspire to a better version of yourself. 10) Less is more: learn to declutter and simplify your life through Danshari: There’s a new movement rising around the world. Perhaps you’ve heard of it: Danshari. It means “refusal, disposal and separation” You can simply translate it as cleaning or tidying up, but this word means more than this. In this module you will learn to abandon attachment to objects and make a better use of them. 11)Connect with your soul mission through Ikigai: ikigai is that thing that gives our existence a marvellous intensity, it is what gives meaning to life or, as the French would say, its raison d’etre. There is a fire inside us: it can burn with more force, it can weaken, but then it can come back stronger than ever. Ikigai cannot be a simple mental vision, as it is wider, deeper and absolute than the thinking mind. You can only live it, and only by living it can you know it. In this module you will learn the first steps to move nearer to your soul mission. 12)Accept your own shadows, feeling a part of the universe through Yugen: Beauty is Darkness. Shadows are what allow the visible to emerge. The whole world and ourselves are a constant duality: we wake up and go to bed, the sun rises and goes down, we feel on top of the world and we feel stressed, we move in and out, we feel active and we feel lazy and so on. It’s the natural flow of the universe, nothing lasts in the same status forever. In this module you will learn to keep this duality between inner light and darkness stable and to reach the perfect moment. 13)Accept the impermanence of life through mono no aware: ‘this is the deep feeling or pathos of things, the powerful emotions that objects can evoke or instil in us. It is often associated with a poignant feeling of transience, a beautiful sadness in the passing of lives and objects, like the glorious colour of autumn leaves as they are about to fall. In this module you will learn how to let go of our attachments to transient things. Through this certified course you will learn these for yourself and to help others in their transformation if you are an holistic therapist: ● to become grounded and calm ● to create fundamental daily habits ● to have the right approach to solve any life challenge and storm ● how to flow with life ● to express your emotions and develop compassion ● to repair your own wounds ● to practise patience and gratitude ● to become a better version of yourself ● to be nearer to meet your soul mission You can choose: Online (either live or receiving the recordings)  or at the Art and Spirituality Centre 6-8 Alexander Drive EH11 2RH Edinburgh First week-end 22nd-23rd February 2025 10am-5pm each day Modules 1,2,3,4 Second week-end 15th-16th March 2025 10am-5pm each day Modules 5,6,7,8,9 Third week-end 14th-15th June 2025 10am-5pm each day Modules 10,11,12,13 If you are not available to attend, you can catch up with the recordings and do your homeworks in order to qualify.  You an also attend one or two week-ends only but you will not qualify If you are not available to attend, you can catch up with the recordings and do your homeworks in order to qualify.  You an also attend one or two week-ends only but you will not qualify Cost The full course with qualification: £450 Option A) Pay the whole course in full with £50 discount, so just £400 and get a free 1-1 session with me (online or in person) of the value of £100 Option B) Pay a Deposit £150 to secure your place, £150 1st March and £150 1st June 2025 Option C) Join individal week-ends with no qualification £150 each Disclaimer  By booking any event or 1-1 session -online or any other venues – with us, you release Giada Gaslini, Invisible Caims/School of Shamanism, Art and Spirituality and any business partners working with for the event from any liability arising out of any personal injuries, emotional or physical release, death, expectations of results, theft in the venue or damages that may happen to people and objects while attending.
