The aim of meditation is not some point in the future, but the conscious emergence from the flow of thoughts and time into being in the here and now. In meditation, the goal is always also the path: arriving at oneself.

In this book, the topic of meditation is primarily presented from an experiential perspective, based on analytical as well as contemplative reflections that lead to the core of the book, the six meditations. These are intended as inspiration for personal meditation and also for meditating in a group (with adults, teenagers, and/or children).

Meditation supports a positive and mindful way of life, from which we can meet the demands of our time with inner sovereignty. Meditation, as described here, is a free, institution-independent path.

The author feels that humans carry the gift of meditation within themselves and can rediscover it anew at any time.
