In an age of information overload, it can be hard for people to sit still and clear their minds. Close your eyes and sit down, and it is easy to drift into endless reverie; some people may even feel more depressed. That is why focused meditation can help people who use their bodies less and their minds more. Among forms of focused meditation, active meditation, which engages the body, is often especially helpful for modern-day practitioners.
O2Heal’s active meditation classes, which have earned high satisfaction ratings from many participants, are coming to Seoul. O2Heal will hold one-day active meditation classes on November 21 and December 5 at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the sixth floor of CARROT GLOBAL’s headquarters in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
Both sessions will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a Saturday. Participants can choose one session when they register. Each session is limited to 20 people, with registration closing on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants should wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely. O2Heal’s active meditation is easy to do. No experience with meditation or exercise is necessary.
After six years in Jeju, a well-received meditation class comes to Seoul
Active meditation uses music, breathing, repetitive movements and sound to loosen the body before leading into relaxation. The program was developed jointly by Chae Jeong-ho, a professor of psychiatry at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea; Hong Jeong-gi, dean of the Graduate School of Sports Medicine at CHA University; and Ra Ui-hyeong, CEO of O2Heal. An O2Heal representative said, 'We have run this program in Jeju for six years, and it has also received high satisfaction ratings at events such as teacher training sessions.'
A six-hour class that starts low to the ground and unwinds with sound
The class opens at 10 a.m. with a session to open the mind. This is followed by 90 minutes of Deep Bow Meditation, in which participants focus on repetitive movements and breathing while keeping their bodies low to the ground.
After lunch and a break on their own, participants will spend 90 minutes from 1 p.m. doing Open Heart Meditation, moving their bodies and making sounds to music. The final 90 minutes are devoted to integration and sharing, as participants talk together about what they experienced throughout the day.
Led by a 35-year business leader and a singing bowl instructor
The class will be led by three people with extensive experience guiding active meditation. Yoo Jae-sook, O2Heal's meditation director, runs wellness programs based on active meditation and planned Venerable Pomnyun's Happiness School. Park Su-hyun, head of O2Heal's Jeju Center, is a Level 1 active meditation instructor who guides singing bowl sessions and yoga. Ra Ui-hyeong, CEO of O2Heal, is a business leader with 35 years of experience and a meditation practitioner who created the Active Meditation and Inner Revolution programs.
After the class, participants will receive ongoing free online meditation classes through a KakaoTalk group chat, as well as a 22-minute morning practice video they can follow at home. The in-person class lasts one day, with ongoing programs included afterward. As in the past, the class is expected to fill early, with registration closing on a first-come, first-served basis.
Unlike previous sessions, which were always held in Jeju, this class will take place at CARROT GLOBAL's headquarters near Hangangjin Station in Itaewon. CARROT GLOBAL is a leading Korean company led by CEO Noh Sang-chung, an entrepreneur who has built a successful business through spirituality. Noh is currently focused on training spiritual leaders at Center One Meditation Center and, together with O2Heal CEO Ra Ui-hyeong, runs the CSO Spiritual Leadership Course. On November 21 and December 5, the dates of O2Heal's active meditation one-day classes, participants will also have the opportunity to view ancient artifacts and historical works located throughout the CARROT GLOBAL headquarters building.
