Mais do que uma técnica de meditação, a atenção plena (ou mindfulness) é um estilo de vida que consiste em estar aberto à experiência presente, observando seus pensamentos sem julgamentos, críticas ou elucubrações. Ao tomar consciência daquilo que sente, você se torna capaz de identificar sentimentos nocivos antes que eles ganhem força e desencadeiem um fluxo de emoções negativas - que é o que faz você se sentir estressado, irritado e frustrado.

In unserer von Zeitdruck, Hektik und permanenter Erreichbarkeit geprägten Zeit brauchen wir dringend Wege, effektiv zu entspannen und wieder zu uns selbst zu finden.

Dauerhaft tiefe innere Ruhe und Gelassenheit finden. Woran liegt es nur, dass uns äußerliche Irritationen so schnell und nachhaltig aus der Balance bringen? Verantwortlich für solche Stimmungswechsel ist unser Gehirn: Je nachdem, ob es eine Situation als angenehm, unangenehm oder neutral einschätzt, aktiviert es entsprechende Gefühle. Sie färben unsere Erfahrungen ein, prägen unsere tiefsten Konditionierungen und steuern, wie wir uns und die Welt erleben.
