Meditation on Lake Constance

At the Buff Medical Resort

With us, meditation is part of a relaxed stay – no prior experience, no pressure. You practise in a calm atmosphere in our yoga room. If you wish, you will be guided through the practice – at your own pace, whether you are meditating for the first time or already bring experience.

You have a choice of two formats: in the individual session (35 minutes, 95 €) you work individually with breathing techniques, visualisations and mantras. In addition, we offer a free group meditation – on Fridays from 16:00 to 16:45, in a small group of no more than ten people.

Meditation combines well with other offerings – with yoga, Qigong or breathing exercises, for example. If you like, you can round off the quiet sessions with a soothing massage or a visit to our pool landscape, which flows from inside to outside.

What is meditation?

Meditation is a practice in which you deliberately direct your attention – to the breath, to a word, to bodily sensations or to the present moment. The aim is not to think of "nothing", but to let thoughts come and go without losing yourself in them.

There are many forms. In mindfulness meditation you gently bring your attention back to the breath again and again. With a mantra – a word repeated silently – you give your thoughts an anchor point. With visualisations you work with inner images; in the body scan you travel through the body with your awareness. What they all share: you practise being present.

Benefits

Regular meditation can help you cope better with stress and find calm. Many people report feeling more composed and clear-headed after the practice.

Important: meditation is not a medical treatment and does not replace medical care. If symptoms persist, please have them clarified by a doctor. Meditation is a tool you can easily take into your everyday life – with no equipment at all.

What to expect

You sit or lie down comfortably. If the session is guided, the instructor briefly explains the exercise and then leads you through breathing techniques, visualisations or a mantra. At the end there is time to slowly arrive again and reflect. An individual session lasts 35 minutes; the free group meditation takes place on Fridays from 16:00 to 16:45. We provide everything you need.

More than movement: your health in view

If you would like to deepen your stay, our programmes offer optional services – for regeneration and coping with stress, plus diagnostics and sports and exercise medicine. This is not a must, but an option. Read more under Programmes.
