Allow, move, give space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

No beginning. No end.Just a moment that doesn’t decide:Light or shadow, order or chaos, lightness or heaviness.And yet everything is there. Simultaneously. <\/p>\n\n

What if inner diversity is like a clothes rack in a colorful shared apartment?<\/strong>Nothing really fits together \u2013 colors, shapes, moods are wildly mixed up.And yet every piece has its place. Somehow. <\/p>\n\n

This colorfulness reflects the attitude of non-intentional meditation: it is not about achieving and maintaining a certain state. Rather, the practice opens up a space in which thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations are simply allowed to be there \u2013 without any claim to control or evaluation. <\/p>\n\n

Just as the rainbow is more than the sum of its colors, so too is the human being more than a single identity, a feeling, or a thought.<\/p>\n\n

Meditation can thus become a field of experience for lived inner diversity:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Inner contradictions may coexist, ambivalent feelings may take up space, and what is supposedly inappropriate may be welcome.<\/p>\n\n

Perhaps you feel relief and sadness, joy and doubt at the same time \u2013 such ambivalences are also allowed to be present in meditation.<\/p>\n\n

Inner space for the unusual<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

What if not everything had to be rationally explainable?<\/p>\n\n

What if experience could unfold not through control, but through radical openness?<\/p>\n\n

In a world that often demands quick answers and clear categories, meditation invites you to endure ambivalence.<\/p>\n\n

One’s own limits may be felt \u2013 not to defend them, but for the sake of self-knowledge and in the sense of self-responsibility.<\/p>\n\n

A practice of openness and inner flexibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Meditation in this attitude also means not constantly stabilizing one’s own familiar inner system, but allowing change and flexibility in experience.<\/p>\n\n

The familiar may be questioned, new perspectives can open up. This creates space for a more flexible inner attitude \u2013 open to diversity, inside and out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
