A brief welcome video with some information on what this home retreat (or course) is about.
2. Intro: More about this course and the story behind
07:02

2. Intro: More about this course and the story behind

Here I explain more about what this package of videos is about, and the story behind why I created them! You will understand more about how to use it, and how it can become a tool for you you can return to in different ways! More about how to use the videos in Intro 4.
3. Intro: About me
02:37

3. Intro: About me

You already heard some of my story in the video telling you more about the background for why I have developed this course. But in this video, I explain a bit more about me, my education, and my background, for those of you that don't already know me.
4. Intro: How to use these videos
03:13

4. Intro: How to use these videos

Here I explain more about how to use the videos, the different ways of using them - and also when it can be particularily beneficial for you - such as in transition periods, when you face a challenge or uncertainty, have to take a difficult decision - or need to process something that has happened in order to move forward in a better way.
5. Intro: Definition of Mindfulness
02:38

5. Intro: Definition of Mindfulness

In this video, I give a brief definition of Mindfulness for those of you that don't know what it is already, as well as which aspects are important to keep in mind for the practices and exercises to come.

Here I explain a bit about what to prepare and have ready before you start, as well as a bit more about what to expect from the sessions to come.
7. Let's Start! Landing Meditation
12:15

7. Let's Start! Landing Meditation

To enter the day of practice together we take time to land, check-in with what’s here for you, noticing expectations, and setting intentions for this day – giving space for what’s to come. This is the first video of the actual retreat, our first practice.
8. Breath Awareness Meditation
16:48

8. Breath Awareness Meditation

A guided Seated Meditation focusing on Breath Awareness: where the breath is the anchor to the present moment. You can transition directly into the laying down Body Scan Meditation in the next video - it was filmed as one but divided for your convenience so that when you come back to these 2 meditations you can choose to do either a longer one (both together of ca 45min), or only the Breath Awareness ca15min, or the Body Scan ca 30min as separate practices too. If you do this as a full-day retreat, just continue directly into the next practice. Options: You could do this practice laying down if you prefer, so you are already laying down as you transition into the Body Scan if you do them in sequence. If paying attention to your breath is not ok for you, focus on sensations in your hands or feet instead.
9. Body Scan Meditation
30:27

9. Body Scan Meditation

A guided Body Scan Meditation laying down. In the Body Scan meditation, we explore how it is to use the physical experience of sensations in the body in this moment as a way to bring us back to the present moment – an anchor to the present moment. The Body Scan can also help us release tension and get out of our heads and into the body. It can be a great tool to befriend the body as it is, with all that is here. And as we are returning to the Body Scan practice again and again, we can learn a lot about ourselves that we can bring with us into everyday life. Tip: The Body Scan can be great to do laying down as it also allows us to relax and surrender more into the experience. However, it could be that you become so relaxed that you may fall asleep. To avoid this try opening your eyes if you notice you get drowsy, before returning, or try sitting up or even standing.

It must take a lot of experience to arrange this, and it was very impressive.

Thank you for all the preparations, and for practicing (the probable challenging) skill of combining so many different activities for several hours - it was really cool. I loved the way you combined the progressive and structured way + that you emphasised that you invited us to trust the process. It must take a lot of experience to arrange this, and it was very impressive.

All of her years of experience with being a teacher makes her able to customise her way of teaching and communicating to a variety of people

I took part in Maria‘s mindfulness retreat online in January to leave 2020 behind in a good way to prepare for 2021 and it was such a beautiful experience!
Maria has an incredible way of making people in her presence feel relaxed and at ease and the space felt so safe with her as our guide! It was a long and emotional session, but absolutely worth it and a great moment to take part in. It’s clear that Maria has so many valuable insights and she has a great way of sharing them with others. All of her years of experience with being a teacher makes her able to customise her way of teaching and communicating to a variety of people, thank you for a lovely retreat! Absolutely recommended.

the result was that she allowed me to do a truly profound work.

I attended Maria's Mindfuless online mini-retreat and it has been a very special experience. It lasted some hours and for me, it was challenging, nevertheless, Maria was able to guide the practice in a natural and professional way and the result was that she allowed me to do a truly profound work. She is an excellent teacher and the space she created was magical.
Thank you Maria!

Intro principles

Learning about the Principle of Mindfulness is important! These are attitudes it is useful to have towards our practice. Why? because it changes what is turned on in the brain and therefore how we pracitce and how fast we learn etc. This vital introduction to the 9 Principles of Mindfulness will help you understand more about what we are practicing in our Mindfulness meditations when I mention some of these words like 'beginners mind', what is it really? And why do I mention it? Why is it so important, etc. Understanding more about the 9 principles will help you gain a deeper understanding of what Mindfulness is and can be. And this is the bedrock on which we build specific meditation practices too. Over time practicing these attitudes will help us foster some of these abilities also in our everyday life. However, it is important here to not misunderstand what we mean by these practices - for example acceptance - does it mean we have to accept everything in life? No! absolutely not! But then - what is it? Join me to learn more! Having this background understanding will make you better prepared and equipped to take on your Mindfulness journey ahead, welcome!
1. Non-judgement
01:18

1. Non-judgement

Let's dive deeper into the Principle of Non-judgement, and learn why having a non-judgemental attitude towards ourselves and the practice is so essential. Here we will unravel this concept to help you understand more what this truly means!
2. Beginners Mind
02:34

2. Beginners Mind

What do we really mean when we talk about approaching what is happening during our Mindfulness Meditation with a Beginners Mind? And how does this Beginners Mind practice, help us live more vividly in everyday life?
3. Patience
04:22

3. Patience

Learn more about the principle of Patience, and why this is an attitude that is beneficial for us to practice.
4. Trust
01:05

4. Trust

What do we mean by the Principle of Trust? And what can it teach us also about ourselves and the way we relate to the world?
5. Acceptance, allowing
04:50

5. Acceptance, allowing

What lies within this Principle of Acceptance? Accepting does not mean to accept everything in life, to accept injustice, and be ok with things that are not ok! So what does it really mean? This is perhaps the most commonly misunderstood of all the Principles of Mindfulness. Learn what it truly means, and why it is so significant and can help you live better.
6. Letting go, Non-attatchment
03:13

6. Letting go, Non-attatchment

Letting go is perhaps the hardest thing we humans can do! We have such a strong tendency of holding on to things, ideas or thoughts! And often if we try to push things away, or try to ignore things - we can become even more attached to it somehow - so Letting go is not to push things away! So what it is really? Letting go might not be what you think?! Watch this video to better understand the layers of what lays behind this important Principle of Mindfulness, and how it can be significant for your life and happiness!
7. Not striving
02:44

7. Not striving

What to we mean by this? And why is this such a relevant principle of Mindfulness especially in today's achievement society? What does this mean for our practice? And what benefits can we learn from this practice for the way we relate in our everyday life? No matter how high goals you wish to have or hard-working you wish to be in your life - we can learn a lot from the exercise of non-striving, as it teaches us an important insight and perspective, teaches us agility and be more lean. This is definitely one of my most challenging Principles to practice - personally. Which Principle do you belive will be the most challenging for you?
8+9 Gratitude and Generosity

8+9 Gratitude and Generosity

Later in life, after a lifetime of practice and experience Jon Kabat-Zinn chose to add two more Principles to the list. These are Gratitude and Generosity. Learn more about them, and why they are so important!

Maria taught me that it is possible to live a full and happy life even with crippling pain and disability.

It is hard to put into words what an enormous difference Maria Waag has made in my life. She healed me of chronic 24/7 migraines that doctors and neurologists said would never go away.
She also healed me of my terrifying dread of a future restricted by my pains and disibilities.

 

Maria taught me that it is possible to live a full and happy life even with crippling pain and disability.
She taught me that by being self-aware and living in the moment, you can experience enormous happiness from small moments others don`t even take notice.
She taught me to look at life from a new perspective, and that there are advantages to living a life that is outside of a normal life.
She taught me to let go of my anxiety and fear of a future with pain and illness. And when my fear and anxiety let go, MY HEADACHE DISAPPEARED.
Like absolute magic that I would never have imagined possible.
I absolutely recommend her from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you Maria,
I can not possibly tell you how grateful I am for you!  Xxx

My Life has changed over the last months and Maria is pretty much responsible for all the changes:)

Maria is JUST WONDERFUL!!! Both as a teacher and as a human being. She is definitely the best Meditation, Mindfullness, Yoga teacher and the sweetest teacher I have ever met! I attend her meditation and minfullness classes. Her classes, advices, discussions, guiding are just perfect for me, without forgetting the sweeteness of her voice.
 
I can see and feel my improvments in my practice and in my daily life. I am very grateful for that.
My Life has changed over the last months and Maria is pretty much responsible for all the changes:)
Thank you so much Maria Waag!!!

Practicing mindfulness and yoga with Maria, one gets the sense of being in a truly safe, and judgment-free space.

Practicing mindfulness and yoga with Maria, one gets the sense of being in a truly safe, and judgment-free space. I have practiced with many teachers all over the world, and yet Maria's space was one of the very few that I felt was truly welcoming me as I am, as opposed to offering a way to "improve" me. This means that the experience was safe, welcoming, relaxing, and it gave me the time and space to really connect to my deeper intuition.
I participated in Maria's online mindfulness retreat, and found this to be worth every minute of my time. The experience of being mindful as led by her, is something that has stayed with me well after the workshop. Moreover, I joined the retreat with a pulsating headache, and found that after the first practice it was completely gone. I have to emphasize this point, because I suffer from strong headaches which never completely go away, even after I take ibuprofen. This was the very first time in my life where I felt such a bad headache leave me completely, with no need for medication.
In conclusion, I would recommend Maria's classes and workshops to anyone, because she knows how to hold a space for you and offers techniques which truly improve your quality of life.
