HEALING THROUGH STILLNESS - ONLINE

Now we have added the first 2 videos in our Healing Through Stillness program: online meditation instruction specifically for vets, survivors of trauma, and anyone else who may benefit from it:

https://www.korinji.org/veterans

This instruction is free to all, non-religious, and able to be modified for almost any physical condition. We expect a total of 6 videos, with a new one dropping weekly going forward.

Please share this link to anyone!

The first video is the Introduction, explaining the program.

Part 1 is titled "Getting Back in Our Skins": simple self-massage and breathing instruction as a foundation.

On deck and coming soon:

Part 2, "Breathing to the Core"

Part 3, "A Panoramic View"

Part 4, "Focused Awareness"

Part 5, "Cutting Through Obstacles"

We are grateful for the support of the Korinji Foundation, the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin, and the Wagner Fund for Spiritual Arts, which have made this programming possible.
