Spirituality

Here in the western hemisphere meditation as a way to reach inner silence and self-realization is meanwhile no more unknown. There is a big ``BUT´´ because not all of that so-called meditation is really meditation. Real meditation takes place in a sitting position and in absolute silence, i.e. without music. Meditation is a way that can take years or not, impatience is anyhow inappropriate. Who wants to meditate seriously, should look up an instructor (guru) who can help and give assistance for the profound processes of inner change that are possible when practicing meditation consequently.

Prayer is an inner way to communicate directly with God -- not only when times are bad but also within good times. Here in the western hemisphere prayer often is displaced, because other methods are regarded obviously as more ``modern´´ or more ``effectively´´.

There are many ways to practice yoga. In our hemisphere Hatha Yoga is probably the most well-known form of yoga, which is characterized by physical exercises that should lead into the inner to self-realization.
Bakhti Yoga is a further form, which came from India to us. The substantial here are humility, devotion, serving and continence.
With Kriya Yoga practical knowledge and certain breath exercises are the centre of attention. It is placed over an initiation ritual and it is brought by the Indian guru Paramahansa Yogananda into the west.
