Read the storyCan mindfulness meditation calm our mind? Sometimes it's not easy to see the overall state of mind because we focus so much on the details. This is often true during meditation, but even more in everyday life. Our mind is often clouded with what we want or don't want. An important part of the practice of mindfulness is to move away from the details of what we are experiencing, and to recognize the moment when we are conscious. Can we tell if we are tense or relaxed, distracted or focused? Read more...
Read the storyIt is always the question how to apply Mindfulness meditation in everyday life. Some of the well-described benefits are made through improvements to your well-being, increasing your chances of leading a satisfied life. By focusing on the here and now, you are accepting that the past is gone, and future is yet to come and is unknown to us. Remember, this does not mean you shouldn’t plan for the future, or that you shouldn’t learn from the past. It only means that you should work on the things that you can influence and that you should accept those that you cannot. Read more...
Read the storyI have had the opportunity, while I was in Suan Mokkh meditation retreat in Chaiya, Thailand, to try different types of meditative practice (like Yoga, Taiji or Qigong). This group that I particularly like, can be called “Meditation in motion”, as described in my new book.

Read the storyWhen you are visiting foreign country, never forget that your hosts are PEOPLE with their lives, happy and sad moments, dreams, and ambitions. Always, but ALWAYS in every situation, treat them and their country with respect. This attitude has always ensured me an unforgettable experience of visiting foreign country and interacting with people from which you can always learn something. Every new experience enriches you, makes you more fulfilled and tolerant for many different cultures, customs, religions, and understanding of life. It ultimately helps you in finding inner peace.

Read the storyWhen we hear the word "research" or "examination", we immediately have an association of strictly cerebral activity, as with scientific work. But in the sphere of meditation, research does not mean discovering the right answer, as when solving mathematical tasks, and at the end of the book we have solutions.

And we find it not through thinking, cognition, but through direct experience, which is deeper than that cognition process. Read more...
