Meditation – Getting to know yourself

Meditationis a verymodern and at the same timeancient wayof getting to know yourself.

Literally translated, meditation means: becoming familiar with oneself.

It is an ability, anenormous capacity of our brain thatno other living creature on Earthpossesses in this form:

• to be thoughtful,
• to be creative,
• Developing visions,
• to be able toactively calmoneself,
• to enter intoserenity,
• and to create something newfrom this tranquility.

All of this is possible thanks to a very specific part of our brain:
thefrontal lobe.

In humans, the frontal lobe accounts for about40% of the total brain mass.

This isunique.
The next creatures with a large frontal lobe
are the great apes—but even theyonly haveabout 17–18%.

The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that enables us to:

• reflect,
• trace,
• research,
• transform.

And that's exactly wheremeditationcomes in.

Meditation is therefore not just "calming down a little" or "relaxing a little."

Meditation is atool
for trueself-knowledge,
fortransformation,
forcreation.

Not just "good," but "exquisitely possible" with meditation.
