More Information
Never before has there been such a vivid interest in meditation and awareness. In our high speed and performance-oriented society many people start questioning the meaning of life. They long for inner peace and search for a path to find themselves. Meditation helps us calm down and get a better sense of our personality. The book by SRF editor Gabriela Baumgartner presents exercises that serve as a guide on the road to calmness. Almost all meditation and awareness methods originate in Buddhist teachings. They show the way out of the painful cycle of our existence – and the tool for this is meditation, i.e. training of the spirit. The book explains a variety of methods from simple breathing techniques to Tibetan meditations. All of these are explained in detail, step by step, and complemented with background information and tips on how to translate the effects of meditation into daily life.
