The beginner healing meditation instructor training was held from the 18th to the 24th at the Sinji Myeongsasipri Beach area, which is not only clean but also rich in oxygen anions and various marine healing resources.

This training was designed to allow participants to broadly experience various types of meditation that they do not usually encounter.

The training included meditation theory and the practice of various meditations, and brain waves were measured before and after the training to check for physical changes such as stress index and brain index.

The practical meditation training utilized various meditation techniques such as body awareness meditation, aroma meditation, breathing meditation, nidra meditation, mandala meditation, walking meditation, tree meditation, and scent meditation.

Additionally, healing resources around Sinji Myeongsasipri, such as sand, the sound of waves, and pine forests, were also utilized.

On the last day, a survey on training preferences was conducted, and based on the results, specialized meditations suitable for marine climate therapy and local conditions will be developed. Continuous refresher and advanced training will be provided to enhance the capabilities of beginner instructors.

Shin Woo-cheol, the mayor of Wando-gun, said, “It is expected that more people will visit Wando, a clean area with no COVID-19 cases, to heal their tired bodies and minds. I hope that as healing meditation instructors, you will further develop your capabilities and actively cooperate in program operations to help vitalize the marine healing industry, which is a key project of our county.”

Meanwhile, the marine healing program operated by Wando-gun is scheduled to run from the 29th of this month to the 27th of next month, featuring Nordic walking, Pilates, seawater steaming, flower tea tasting, and marine healing food sampling.
