Der Body-Scan ist eine Meditationsübung, die ihren Ursprung in der buddhistischen Vipassana-Tradition hat. Es handelt sich um eine Reise durch den Körper, ein gedankliches Abtasten und hilft dabei, die eigene Konzentration zu stärken und uns ganz auf die Gegenwart, das Hier und Jetzt, zu fokussieren, ohne mit den Gedanken in der Vergangenheit oder in der Zukunft zu sein. Es geht darum festzustellen wie gut du dich und deinen Körper kennst, wie du auf körperliche Empfindungen reagierst.

Yoga ist nicht allein Fitness oder eine Form ganzheitlicher Gymnastik. Yoga ist viel mehr: Yoga lässt uns in der Bewegung zur Ruhe kommen und hilft, in unsere Mitte zu finden. Dabei wirken mentale, achtsam ausgeführte Meditationsübungen unterstützend. Nicht die körperlich korrekte Durchführung einer Yogaübung bringt uns dahin, sondern die bewusste innere Haltung, mit der wir sie umsetzen.

I love the statement that the "man of Zen walks in Zen and sits in Zen" for the simple reason that meditation cannot be just a part of your life. You cannot make a fragment of your life meditative.

What would it be like to function at the maximum potential of our minds, bodies, and spirits? What is an optimal human life?

Collected by the author, these stories from the yoga and Zen traditions are the flint and steel that strike a spark that lights up the mind with insights that one should ponder to bring to light ever deeper meaning.

In many Zen koans, someone says or does something extraordinarily inappropriate, which catches your attention just because it's extraordinary - but afterwards the light from them has to be applied to daily life.
