Eastern Holistic Meditation
Eastern
meditation exercises can be divided roughly in sitting
meditation, standing meditation and moving meditation.
Breathing plays an important role. Traditionally it is regarded as a life long journey towards real life. The student strives to develop
himself by overcoming his Ego, his fears and deficiencies. He
then can become a good and content human being.
This traditional perspective
should also be kept in mind, if meditation is "only" orientated towards
goals of health, fitness and well being.
By meditation on a regular basis Body, Mind and Breath
can be fused holistically into one
and the vital life energy Qi can flow easily through the whole body.
In
Eastern philosophy meditation is based on
posture. Posture has an outward and an inward aspect. Ideally
these work together to form an integrated whole. Good Posture enhances the
relationship between Yourself and
the World!
Poor posture is a frequent cause of severe health
problems, whereas good posture, on the other hand, can have influence on
self-esteem, bone density, longevity, lean body, shaping, high metabolism and
many others.
