Meditation and mindfulness course

Learn to direct attention deliberately and develop a manageable personal meditation practice. Guided exercises are combined with clear reflection and practical ways to bring short sessions into everyday life. Individual experiences are respected: the aim is to learn a practice, without promising specific health outcomes or uninterrupted concentration.

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO CAPABILITY

What you will be able to do.

Adults interested in meditation and professionals wishing to explore deliberate pauses and attention exercises. No previous experience is required for a suitably planned introductory programme, and practices are adapted to the agreed learning goals.

  • Explore introductory attention exercises
  • Notice personal limits during practice
  • Plan manageable sessions in everyday life
  • Reflect on experiences without performance pressure

YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY

A structured programme. Room for your priorities.

These modules form the core programme. Where useful, we refine the emphasis, examples and learning activities to reflect your professional context, starting point and objectives.

01

Settling and observing the breath

Explore ways to find a comfortable position and notice natural breathing without forcing it. Alternative points of attention, such as sounds or contact with the floor, allow the exercise to be adapted. Participants are encouraged to choose an approach that feels appropriate.

02

Working with distraction

Observe how thoughts arise and attention moves away from a chosen focus. Short exercises show that distraction is part of learning. Rather than trying to suppress thoughts, practise returning gently to the task and consider which surroundings or instructions help you engage.

03

Mindfulness in everyday activities

Apply attention exercises to ordinary actions such as walking, listening or taking a deliberate pause. The emphasis is on a realistic fit with your day. Practice length and content are chosen so that you can experiment without needing a specialised environment.

04

Recognising emotions and limits

Reflect on the difference between noticing an experience and immediately trying to change it. Every exercise remains voluntary and can be stopped. Uncomfortable reactions are taken seriously; meditation is not presented as a substitute for appropriate support with mental health difficulties.

05

Developing a personal routine

Choose short practices and realistic time slots. A reflective record can help describe your experience without turning it into a performance target. Discuss obstacles such as time pressure, expectations or unsuitable session length and adapt the routine to your circumstances.

06

Continuing your practice

Compare different approaches and identify features of responsible further learning: clear instructions, personal choice and appropriate facilitator boundaries. Bring the course together in a selection of useful exercises and a practical plan for ongoing exploration, review and adjustment.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions, answered.

Who is this programme for?

Adults interested in meditation and professionals wishing to explore deliberate pauses and attention exercises. No previous experience is required for a suitably planned introductory programme, and practices are adapted to the agreed learning goals. The programme is available to private individuals and organisations, including company teams. OSAM welcomes learners living or working in Switzerland as well as international participants joining live online.

How is this qualification recognised?

OSAM is an eduQua-certified continuing education institution. An OSAM certificate documents the learning agreed for your programme; eduQua is a quality label for the institution, not federal recognition of every individual course.

OSAM’s work connects individual professional development with the needs of companies in Switzerland and internationally. Client references and learner reviews below offer a practical view of that work.

What are the benefits of this programme?

You develop skills you can apply in real situations, with guidance from experienced practitioners and access to learning materials on the OSAM platform. The programme focuses on these outcomes:

  • Explore introductory attention exercises
  • Notice personal limits during practice
  • Plan manageable sessions in everyday life
  • Reflect on experiences without performance pressure
Can the programme be personalised?

Yes. We start with the established programme and refine the emphasis, practical cases and learning support where useful. Adjustments take account of the individual or company’s professional context, existing skills and goals. The agreed programme is confirmed before enrolment; federal examination requirements remain binding where applicable.

What are the entry requirements?

For the OSAM certificate, contact us to review your current level, prior experience and objectives. We will confirm the appropriate entry requirements and any recommended preparation.

Is meditation suitable for everyone?

No single exercise suits every person or circumstance. Practices should be adapted or stopped if they cause distress. Existing difficulties or uncertainty may require discussion with a qualified healthcare professional; this course is not therapy.

Is the programme religious?

The introductory programme described here focuses on practical attention exercises and reflection. Your expectations and preferred context are discussed beforehand so that the language and content are appropriate to your learning goals.

Will this qualify me to teach meditation professionally?

The course initially supports personal practice. It does not automatically provide a professional teaching or therapeutic qualification. Any such objective would need separate review and an explicitly agreed training pathway.

YOUR CAREER, IN PERSPECTIVE

Where could these skills take you?

Depending on your experience and qualifications, this subject can support development in the following professional directions.
