Vom tiefen Glück, einer Schneeflocke beim Fallen zuzuschauen: 25 Wege zur inneren Ruhe

Many share the longing to find peace, escape the noise of the present and be at one with themselves. Yet, when things actually do quiet down and the clamour of everyday life falls silent for a moment, we realise just how challenging true stillness can be. We have been conditioned so heavily towards activity and performance that a lack of stimulation almost feels like a threat. Yet Sebastian Witte is convinced: It is only in the quiet moments that we can truly be alive. This happens when we meet the hustle and bustle of the world with an inner sense of distance. When we become receptive to the preciousness of every moment, when small things become significant and silence becomes audible. No one needs to sit cross-legged or attend a retreat in a monastery to have this experience. Sebastian Witte advocates an art of mindfulness that can be cultivated at any time and in any place. It paves the way to an inner calm that has always been there. Those who set out to discover this form of stillness may find direction, stability and inner peace.
