Today we live in the time of doing, but why are we so productive? Why do we need to always be busy? In fact. even when we do not “do” and we have a free moment, we attack ourselves on the cell phone because so we can not think, we can not even hear the unpleasant things we have inside. Veronica started like this. she started working hard to never have a free moment gianluca gotto introduces us “alba and in the end, this not chosen, she turns completely against her why He also finds himself developing a whole series of obsessions, of controlling manias, trying to bring order to extreme levels in his life, precisely because he is constantly afraid of losing control. “

L’ayurveda

In the book there is a part in which the protagonist. Veronica, meets an oriental discipline called Ayurveda. Should I define this discipline, how would you define it?

Gianluca Gotto: “Ayurveda is the science of life. It is a practice that appeared to the Hindu. Indian culture, which has existed for 5000 years and that It allows us to do only one thing, that is to know ourselves. According to the Ayurvedic perspective we suffer because we have moved away from our true nature. And the people who are good in life are not the ones who have managed to create a favorable context. not only at least, but they are the ones who they know who I am and live in agreement with what they are. Here in the West. on the other hand, we have such a profound detachment that it makes us look for gianluca gotto introduces us “alba external solutions to problems that they can instead be solved by looking inside. “

How to start meditating

“What to do to start meditating? From experience I know that if we go to tell the western. who are not inclined, to sit with crossed legs, your eyes closed and for a beautiful half an hour of absolute silence, it becomes difficult. We can then choose two roads: one is the dynamic meditation That is. taking a walk trying to pay the utmost attention to every step, to every sound, to everything your eyes see, to every perfume that reaches your nostrils, to the ground under your feet … my teacher said that you have to walk as if we were caressing the earth. Another thing. the result of my experience, is that 5 minutes are enough, only 5 minutes a day you sit somewhere and do nothing. You gianluca gotto introduces us “alba don’t have to close your eyes but you don’t have to have the phone in your hand. you sit and you don’t do anything. Sigh, you get quiet there and do this preface to meditative practice. “
