In this 30 Day Meditation Challenge we will investigate the mind. To get a sense of why we do the things that we do.
Meditation is the ultimate tool to increase our mental health and create more awareness in our daily life. Scientific evidence proves that meditation can be helpful to fight chronic illnesses and increase our mental stability. Meditation is a way to establish or re-establish your body-mind connection and to start feeling better, day by day.

Every session is 30 minutes long and given via Zoom.
For 30 days, every single day, I will hold the space for you and guide you.
At 7AM London Time. 
You can turn your camera on to connect with others, or not, it’s all good.
We will know that you are there, you will know that we are there.

 

In every session we follow the same pattern to get you into a routine, to establish patterns and to gently guide you through.
After a short introduction, I will explain the technique and we meditate together.

In my teachings, there is a strong influence from Tibetan Buddhism and the Yoga philosophy.
This means that I will introduce shamatha (concentration) and vipasyana (insight) techniques, as well as concentrative techniques from the Yoga traditions.

30 Day Meditation Challenge

During this 30 day Meditation Challenge, we will take the time to zoom into different techniques.
Different types of meditation will have different benefits and you will notice the difference.

This 30 Day Meditation Challenge is for both seasoned practitioners and for beginners. Even for people who have never meditated before!

Meditating together, with people from all over the world is a powerful and transformative experience.
And, I can assure you that you will feel better after these 30 days.
‘Everything you need is already inside of you‘, you just need to show up.

I hope to see you soon! If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate contacting me.

Your Meditation TeacherRachel Bonkink

For the past decade, my mission is to teach meditation and yoga to find a way to release anxiety and increase joy with as many people as possible.

With a degree in economics, a corporate career as a high fly COO and a passion for Yoga philosophy, I’m probably not your ordinary yoga teacher.

My teachings are highly influenced by lama Alan Wallace and every year, I follow at least 2-3 (silent) retreats or trainings as a student, to recharge myself.

Teaching Yoga asana started, wonderfully cliché, in Rishikesh with a Hatha Yoga – Ashtanga teacher training about ten years ago. Ever since, I continued following teacher trainings with incredible teachers like Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, Bernie Clarke, John Stirk, Gustavo Ponce and many more.

At the same time, I really enjoy attending manic events with Tony Robbins or catch up with Joe Dispenza‘s findings. It’s about gathering as many perspectives on Meditation, Yoga and personal development as I can.

Flex Your Mind Rachel Bonkink

I’m the author of the book, Flex your Mind.

It gives a roadmap to the ten principles of yama and niyama of the Yoga philosophy by Patanjali.

That might sound a bit stuffy but this is not a book for scholars, on the contrary, it’s there to make this ancient knowledge as accessible as possible! You can order it here.
