In this session, we will be introducing the course and discussing the structure of the sessions. We will have two sessions per day: a lying-down relaxation practice and a sitting meditation practice.

It is recommended to dedicate a daily schedule for these sessions and to practice in a quiet place. The sessions will each take about 30 minutes. The first session will be a lying-down relaxation practice.

Day 1: 2. The Practice of Labelling
In this session, we will be discussing the role of anxiety in our lives and how the meditation practice can help us to change our experience with anxiety. We will also introduce the main technique of the practice, called labelling, which will be discussed in more detail in future sessions. The goal of the practice is to create a greater sense of space in the mind and to change our relationship with anxiety, so that we are able to distance ourselves from anxious thoughts and emotions. The practice is not designed to get rid of anxiety completely, as anxiety is a normal part of being human. The focus is on developing a more accepting and neutral relationship with anxiety.
