During the last 2,500 years in Buddhist monasteries, a system of seven practices of reconciliation has evolved.

Silence is essential for deep transformation. It allows the practice of conscious breathing to become deep and effective. Like still water that reflects things as they are, the calming silence helps us to see things more clearly, and therefore, to be in deeper contact with ourselves and those around us.

The Buddha said that if we know how to look deeply into our suffering and recognize what feeds it, we are already on the path of emancipation.

When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.

Every path, every street in the world is your walking meditation path.
