Lição 1
Who You Are?
Remind yourself of your humble, ordinary nature. Despite achievements and recognition, meditation requires ego dissolution. Life is transient, and our individual significance is fleeting. Like waves in the ocean, we ultimately merge into the vastness. Embrace this humility to prepare for a more profound meditation experience.
Lição 2
Discipline
Discipline and a healthy lifestyle are essential for achieving a calm mind and body. Maintaining a balanced diet, a disciplined routine of early rising, and sufficient sleep forms the foundation for effective mindfulness and deep breathing practices. Proper nutrition, including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins, supports optimal body function. Avoiding processed foods and staying hydrated helps sustain energy levels and mental clarity. Regular rest, with an early bedtime and morning wake-up, sets a positive tone for the day. Combining these habits with mindfulness practices fosters overall well-being and deeper self-connection.
