In a hyper-connected, frenetic world, where the constant is running from one appointment to another, reclaiming oneself is fundamental. Because if life flows quickly it is very easy to lose sight of what is important, leaving behind the awareness necessary to face everyday life. If reading is always an absolute pleasure, it is also for the spirit: books on meditation are a valid guide to finding the center of oneself. From the famous Osho to Elle Luna , 3 books to read to take back the reins of your mind.
Knowing the world and yourself better through literature — Elle Luna
A very useful book to better understand much of oneself and the world around us. Knowing the world and oneself better with the literature of Elle Luna (original title Eu Sou as Escolhas que Faço ) investigates the themes of the present using the trick of analyzing biographies of characters from the past, but above all the personality of those in the great novels of literature. Through them, Elle Luna acts as an attentive and empathetic guide, without leaving out any topic of common interest: it ranges from science to sports, from technology to the figurative arts.
The Power of Meditation — Daniel Goleman
Obsessed with the search for novelty to overcome boredom, immersed in a life too fast to be lived fully, contemporaneity brings with it the loss of oneself. And so, we become more and more accustomed to staying on the surface, analyzing everyday events thinking only about how they could be useful to us. From this point of view, Eastern spirituality has a lot to teach us: with its extreme awareness, it is the most useful teaching to reclaim one’s time, living it in all its nuances and in all its meanings. Starting from this assumption, Daniel Goleman describes the different meditation techniques , investigating the way in which I can make a different perception of things possible, making them deeper and more real.
Lighten the Soul — Osho
A book that explains the basics of meditation written by Osho , perhaps the most controversial master of our time (to give you an idea, the documentary Wild wild country on Netflix is very useful). Osho tells us that localizing awareness means freezing it, preserving it from what happens outside, and letting it flow, free, throughout the body. Because if we tried to limit it, it would become sick and nervous: thanks to the practice of meditation , however, this risk should be averted. Lightening the soul is nothing more than a guide to the discovery of what is most fascinating in the world: ourselves.
