Philosophy Meditation

A classic of stoic philosophy written by the emperor of Rome, Marcus Aurelius.

What’s the big idea? Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius believed that in a palace or a soldiers’ camp one can live a life free of envy and desire, neither pursuing pleasure nor fearing pain as one performs the duties life has assigned. I have worked to make his Meditations as understandable as possible. By the end of the book, the emperor’s philosophy will be crystal clear. So please travel back almost 2,000 years ago and join Marcus Aurelius as sits in his camp in the evening meditating on life.

A central premise of the book is that such experiences are mind-revealing experiences and that they can be induced by means other than psychedelics. In particular, the book argues that psychedelic experiences can also be had as the result of meditation. Aidan Lyon presents a unified conceptual framework for thinking about the different kinds of psychedelic experiences one may have as a result of psychedelics, meditation, and their combination.

Michael Linenberger is a relatively normal businessman who for decades managed technology and consulting projects for some of the largest companies in the world. But starting in late 2012, Michael discovered a deep and profound inner silence entering his life that grew stronger and stronger each day. From that silence, a fundamental set of life transformations emerged....

Over the course of several years, I paraphrased the original English text (Long 1862) into a simplified and easy to absorb version I call Meditations Made Simple. The Narrator of this audiobook makes it a joy to listen to.

“With stoic calm”: That’s how people describe individuals who seemingly can’t be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life! Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn’t a bit more control over your inner life be nice?

Jack Kornfield vermittelt in diesem Hörbuch die Quintessenz der Achtsamkeitspraxis und baut eine Brücke von der buddhistischen Lehre in unsere westliche Lebenswirklichkeit. Wie können wir zur Ruhe kommen, wie besser zuhören lernen, wie mit Leid umgehen, wie Liebe und Verbunden-Sein erfahren? Und wie können wir wahrhaft frei sein?

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, although simple and concise in their construct, are pieces of highly concentrated wisdom. Woven together, they are the great synchronized mosaic that illustrates the ultimate manifestation of a fully realized spiritual existence. Students of yoga will come to appreciate how beautifully they are stitched alongside one another into a meditative cohesive matrix, rippling out from a sense of peace flowering within.

Stoicism offers rationally grounded, proven psychological techniques for the gradual development of consistent self-mastery, and emotional detachment from those elements of the human condition that tend to cause the most pervasive and unsettling forms of fear, anxiety, and avoidable disquiet. In the essays in A Life Worth Living, William Ferraiolo examines what it means to incorporate Stoicism into 21st century life, adapting classical Stoic philosophy for the modern day.

La atención plena se sitúa en el corazón de la meditación budista, pero su esencia es universal y tiene un profundo beneficio práctico para todo el mundo. Con frecuencia, nuestra mente no es consciente de las múltiples posibilidades que encierra el momento presente y de su belleza única, ya que nuestra naturaleza alberga una tendencia al automatismo que nos aleja del contacto con el único tiempo que tenemos para vivir, crecer, sentir, amar, aprender y darle forma a las cosas.

Die kleine Katze Maya hat es gut bei der reichen Witwe Alma – wenn da nicht dieses ständig nagende Gefühl von Unzufriedenheit und innerer Leere wäre. So verlässt Maya ihr vertrautes Samtkissen und begibt sich auf die Suche nach Sinn und Erfüllung. Doch weder bei den strengen "Heiligen Katzen", noch bei den wilden Straßenkatzen und deren Vorliebe für allerlei Sinnesfreuden wird sie fündig. Erst als sie am Ende ihrer Kräfte von dem alten Maler Eugen aufgenommen wird, wendet sich das Blatt: In der Meditation entdeckt Maya die Kraft der Stille.
