Slow Down Podcast #19 - Über die Stille | Warum die Stille und das aktive Ankommen in der Stille für unser Leben so wichtig sind

Added on by Sven Mahr | Zen Coaching.

Heute mal wieder ein paar Worte für Dich und Euch zur Inspiration. Worte, die spontan aus dem stillen Sitzen auftauchen, ein spontanes Sprechen in das Mikrofon - ohne Konzept, ohne Skript, ohne Vorbereitung oder Agenda. Schauen, was auftaucht. Worte, die vielmehr durch mich hindurchlaufen. Kein gelehrter, vorbereiteter Zen Buddhismus Vortrag, sondern ein Sich-Verbinden mit der Stille und der Wahrheit des Moments, Hier und Jetzt - Satsang, Dharma-Talk, welchen Namen wir dem auch immer geben mögen. Es ist ein Teilen mit Dir und Euch, ein Sich-Mitteilen zum Leben und über das Leben, bei dem ich verschiedene Ebenen unseres Lebens anspreche, berühre, teils kritisch beobachte, loslasse, wiederaufnehme.

Wenn es Dir und Euch hilft, im Moment anzukommen, das Herz zu öffnen und den Stress loszulassen, freue ich mich. Ich freue mich, wenn Ihr mir einen Kommentar oder ein Feedback da lassen möchtet.

Alles Gute für Dich.

Slow Down Podcast #12 (ENG): Heart Chakra Prayer

Added on by Sven Mahr | Zen Coaching.
Slow Down Podcast 12.png

This is the start of a series of shorter podcasts (in English) where I introduce a little prayer that helps to redirect loving kindness towards yourself and as such giving you a tool to also forgive others, let go of the past and develop kindness towards others.

In this 1st podcast of this series I am going to introduce the prayer and in the follow up podcasts I will dive deeper into it and explore line by line the meaning of this for our everyday life.

If you are in pain, fear, holding a grudge towards yourself or others you can try this. Let it sink in. Accept your own vulnerability. Don’t fight it. Sink deeply into it. Sink to the bottom of it. And hopefully realize: the bottom IS Love. That’t the ground of your being… in a way, so to speak.

Slow Down Podcast #11: Stille, Wahrheit und das Leben

Added on by Sven Mahr | Zen Coaching.

– eine spirituelle Betrachtung, ein Teilen und gemeinsames Lauschen in das, was Jetzt und Hier ist.

Ein Podcast aus der Stille heraus, ein spontanes Sich-Öffnen für den Moment, wie es ist, Hier und Jetzt. Ohne bestimmtes Ziel. Ein spirituelles, philosophisches Betrachten des Lebens. Die Worte fließen heraus, formen Sätze, aus einer inneren Haltung der Meditation.

Ein paar Impulse und Betrachtung zu essenziellen Fragen wie: „Was ist das Leben? Wer bin ich? Was ist die Wahrheit?“ Eine rein persönliche, tief in diesem Moment empfundene Wahrheit, die keinen Anspruch auf Allgemeingültigkeit hat oder jemals haben könnte.

Also mehr ein Deuten durch die Stille auf „Etwas“, dessen wir als Mensch gewahr sein können, das in uns allen ist und das wir in der „Stille“ berühren können. Worte können nur den Weg deuten, Meditation, Still-Sein und Lauschen, kann die Erfahrung bringen … was auch immer das sein mag.
