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.

Peshtemals towel Soul
Peshtemals are not classic terry cloth towels, even though they are just as absorbent. Peshtemal is a towel that has been used in Turkey for the hamam (Turkish sauna, spa) or as a cover for a bed or sofa for centuries.
They are woven very tightly, densely, so they are extremely strong and durable. They have stylish handmade tassels that make them look more elegant and traditional at the same time. Because peshtemals are woven "straight", they are light and take up very little space, making them the perfect companion on our travels. They are ideal for our next holiday, you can roll them up and they are perfectly packed, they don't wrinkle and they really take up very little space.
You can wear your peshtemal as a pareo by the pool or on the beach. It can be worn draped over the shoulder or wrapped around the body - this way it simultaneously protects us from the sun's rays and wraps us in a warm hug during the evening chill. In this way, the peshtemal is popular with women as well as men. On the beaches of St. Tropez and Cannes, many stars have been spotted wearing it (think Jennifer Aniston, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore). It is very light and airy and "feels great on your skin"!
Many use it as a home textile (home decor). Such as tablecloths, covers for sofas, beds... It's great as a picnic blanket!
In yoga and meditation, you can use it as a blanket for savasana, as a meditation scarf. You can roll it up and use it to support yourself in asana.
See for yourself why the fairy-tale peshtemal has been popular all over the world for centuries.
