What is MRP Beginner Level?
This 12-week program, developed by Niels de Stürler Boekwijt, is only the first part of a larger whole. With years of experience in intensive meditation, a background as a monk, and extensive research in Asia, Niels has brought together the most effective and essential mindfulness techniques in this 12-week program. The results speak for themselves—countless participants have experienced the positive effects of our mind retreat program. In this program you will learn the following essential elements:
The elements you will learn:
Basic Mindfulness Techniques
Basic Mindfulness Techniques include simple breathing exercises that help you stay focused on the present moment. These techniques are designed to improve your focus and help your body relax and release tension. They also aid in maintaining mindfulness during stressful and challenging moments.
With these breathing techniques, you can better concentrate on the here and now, experiencing more peace and clarity. Regular practice helps you handle tension more effectively and remain calm, even in difficult situations.
Fundamental Mindfulness Techniques
Fundamental mindfulness techniques are exercises that increase our mindfulness energy. This energy makes us more aware of ourselves and gives us the strength to let go of our problem areas gradually.
These techniques help us live more in the present, improving our ability to cope with stress and negative emotions. Regular practice enhances our self-awareness and improves our mental and emotional health, enabling us to navigate life calmly and focused, even during tough times.
Advanced Mindfulness Techniques
Advanced mindfulness techniques are exercises that help address deeper issues in our body and mind. By focusing on specific mindfulness points in the body, we build a significant amount of mindfulness energy that accelerates our transformation process.
These techniques transcend the basics, allowing us to identify and release deeper tensions and blockages. This intensive practice strengthens our inner peace and clarity, making us better equipped to handle challenges and promote personal growth.
Different postures
We must first learn mindfulness in various physical postures to be able to integrate mindfulness into our daily lives. Gradually, we learn to apply mindful breathing while standing, walking, sitting, lying down, and during transitions. By doing this, we notice that staying mindful becomes second nature.
How do I let go of my Problem Points?
Letting go of problem points is a crucial part of the program. Everyone starts mindfulness with a specific reason, which always relates to a problem point. When you can let go of this problem point, you’ll find that contentment begins to appear.
Investing time in your mindfulness practice results in an increase in inner happiness and satisfaction.
The Three Principles of Mindfulness
During the MRP Beginner Level, you will learn three crucial mindfulness principles to help you use breathing techniques to release your problem points. By learning and applying these principles, you’ll find that you become better at mindful release, a skill that benefits you throughout your life.
The program
Over the course of these 12 weeks, you’ll learn step by step from the most basic to the most advanced mindfulness techniques. Through instructional videos and clear descriptions, you’ll be guided through every step of your journey toward inner peace and clarity.
The program is progressive in nature, with new techniques introduced every two weeks for you to practice and integrate into your daily life. These techniques not only help you quiet the constant chatter of your mind but also connect you with your body, allowing you to better listen to its signals, such as stress.
