Tonglen is een oude Aziatische meditatievorm, welke de mogelijkheid biedt om moeilijke of ongemakkelijke momenten te exploreren op een, voor sommigen, intieme manier. Het kan gezien worden als een paradoxale oefening die behulpzaam kan zijn in stressvolle of moeilijke situaties. In de compassietraining The Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living, of MBCL, Training, is deze oefening meer toegankelijk gemaakt en wordt deze ook wel geadopteerd als ‘Compassioneel Ademenen’. In dit webinar zal het ‘Compassioneel Ademen’ uitgelegd worden aan de hand van theorie en oefeningen.
