What is meditation?
Meditation today includes various techniques for calming, relaxing, restoring vital energy (chi, chi, prana...), balancing the spirit and mind, and developing compassion, love, and mindfulness.
Meditating does not mean that we become a different person, a new person or even a better person.
It is a practice of raising awareness and gaining an objective perspective on oneself and the world. In meditation, we learn to observe thoughts or feelings without judgment. We want to better listen to our inner voice and intuition, with the aim of better exploring and understanding ourselves.
Full article: What is Meditation - Can we think during meditation?
Meditation brings many health (psychological, neurological and cardiovascular) and other effects. It has a positive effect on reducing stress, anxiety, depression and pain and brings more peace, alertness, improves self-image and well-being.
Types of meditation
In the Western world, techniques are divided into 2 types, namely:
- focused meditation – directing attention to a chosen object, breathing, visualization or words, mantras, use of mala necklace ;
- mindfulness meditation – observing the 'journey' of thoughts, feelings, emotions, mood... from the point of view of an external observer, without the active involvement of the mind.
How and where do we practice meditation?
We could say that meditation can be practiced anytime and anywhere, regardless of the situation, position, environment.
The purpose of meditation is to use the peace and awareness that we want to achieve through the practice of meditation. we transfer it to everyday challenges.
Practice should not serve as an 'escape' from life, but should be a part of life. Let's start gradually, with small steps. If we are a beginner, it makes sense to start in a group, with guided meditation, as it will help us to cultivate perseverance.
The space where we meditate should be pleasant, comfortable, and peaceful. You can create a Zen corner in your home, it can be a corner in nature, a studio,...wherever you feel safe and relaxed.
Static or dynamic meditation?
We can choose between a static or dynamic form of meditation. In static forms of meditation, our body is at rest, it is mostly performed in a sitting position on the floor with the help of meditation aids for sitting ( zafu, bolster, square< /a>), on a chair or in a lying position - e.g. on yoga mats.
During the static form of meditation, make sure we are in comfortable and warm clothes and covered with a blanket .
Dynamic form of meditation involves gentle, soft movement of the body - e.g. meditative walking, qigong, incorporating asanas, more advanced breathing techniques.

Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens)
Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens) grows in the dry forest between Ecuador and Peru. It is a type of forest that thrives on dry, sandy soils. Palo Santo blooms in the first months of the year due to the abundant seasonal rains.
The use of sacred wood has become very popular, so reforestation is imperative. Immediately after the tree falls to the ground at the natural end of its life cycle, new plants are sown. Reforestation of the dry forest is important, also to allow future generations to benefit from ethical and sustainable Palo Santo.
Palo Santo:
- helps conjure well-being and puts us in a good mood
- gives serenity and psychophysical relaxation
- promotes inner harmony and helps us regulate our mental and physical well-being
- promotes concentration and introspection
- helps overcome difficult emotional moments
- absorbs and dissipates stagnant energy in the room (home, office...)
- helps banish stress and anxiety
Their Palo Santo wood is sustainably sourced. They wait for the end of the tree's life cycle before proceeding with the Palo Santo processing.
You only need a few minutes a day to welcome the positive energies you need into your life. Surrender to the pure energy of nature.
Bursera graveolens is the plant from which Palo Santo incense is obtained. At the end of its normal life cycle, the Palo Santo tree falls off on its own and remains on the ground for several years. During this period, the wood becomes more connected to the resin and the sweet, intense and balsamic aroma characteristic of Palo Santo is determined. Our Palo Santo is 100% natural. To remove the microorganisms present in the trunk, the wood is heated to a high temperature. This process ensures the "purity" of the wood and there is no need to use pesticides.
Local communities directly monitor the production process on site. Their task is to select the most valuable parts of the wood, removing the roots, bark and other natural imperfections of the plant.
Thanks to Palo Santo, work and support are available to many local families. Also thanks to their contribution, our Palo Santo is one of the most appreciated and used in Europe.
