About this title

Synopsis

In the midst of our lives we can find ourselves pulled in many different directions. As a result, it is easy to lose our sense of self. Nonetheless, we can find and strengthen the inner core of who we truely are. Moreover, we can rediscover and regain inner equilibrium and tranquillity without retreating from the world. 

Ever since ancient times, people have sought to reestablish inner balance by using various meditative practices. The soul exercises described in this brief book are derived from Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual philosophy, while also acknowledging Buddhist tradition and mindfulness meditation. Offering strategies to boost self-confidence, self-reliance, inner stability, and concentration, these exercises are intended for anyone seeking personal inner development. The exercises are perfect for enriching daily life. They can be especially helpful during times of stress, mental and emotional crisis, burn-out, as well as within the context of psychiatric and psychosomatic therapies. 

In a series of short chapters, illustrated with beautiful color photos, this book offers accessible, easy-to-follow commentaries and instructions for creating a path of inner development and balance. 

Originally published in German as Das innere Gleichgewicht finden: Seelenübungen für Achtsamkeit, Herzenskultur und Willensstärke (Berlin, 2015).
