Posture

"Meditation and the necessary good posture can be viewed as a strong tree, stable rooted and growing. One part is visible and another part is invisible. Together they form a complete whole. Respectively we have inner and outer aspects of posture and health" (Dr. N. Pavlovic).

One important topic of this site is what the Society for Holistic Meditation calls "holistic posture", i. e. the integration of proper physical "outward posture" and the inner calm, centering and discipline. This concept is based on the Eastern viewpoint, that inner and outer appearance form a complete whole, which should not be disintegrated. For the Eastern culture this is easy to understand, because less distinction is made betwenn mind and body.

There is ample evidence that Meditation, if practised regularly, can improve this holistic quality and thus lead to more health and a better life style. For beginners it is enough to just be in the correct physical posture for some time and care for the physical details as is shown in the online programs.

In  Eastern philosophy posture has an outward and an inward aspect. Ideally these work together to form an integrated whole. Eastern (martial) arts can help you a lot. The selected health programs are very effective - provided you practise on a regular basis.

Good Posture enhances the relationship between Yourself and the World! Poor posture is a frequent cause of severe health problems, whereas good posture, on the other hand, can have influence on self-esteem, bone density, longevity, lean body, shaping, high metabolism and many others.
