Meditation
Entirely independent of religion, many people meditate to escape the stress of everyday life and to find inner stillness.
We humans are equipped with many abilities. Yet every day, countless thoughts, streams of fear and dissatisfaction rush in on us. Every second of our lives is planned. We fall asleep with our worries and wake up with them. Is that really all there is?
So let us stop the flood of thoughts and recognise the burdens that keep making us forget ourselves. We are not searching for something higher and do not want miracles. We only want to get to know ourselves again, just as we are.
That meditation has positive effects on people has been studied scientifically many times. Meditation is much more than just relaxation. It teaches us to recognise unimportant thoughts so that we can live life as it really is: letting go of what does not matter and gently pushing it aside.
Only daily practice brings us close to the essence of meditation – insight that arises from mindfulness of the moment, of our body and our mind. In the beginning our thoughts quickly wander off and distract us. Then we do not try to concentrate with force. No: we observe our thoughts and, very gently, let them go again.
