About the event
What does it mean to be here and now? We often hear that but what is really the thing we refer as “the present moment”?
The society that we have created often leads us to spin around between many different activities but what would happen if we switched off these inputs? What could we learn from an experience of introspection? Would our thoughts dissolve and how would that feel? What would there be instead?
In this event, Salvatore will lead us to analyse what thoughts are from the perspective of neuroscience and meditation. We will see how the idea that “we are our thoughts” is fundamentally wrong. We will learn that we can slow down the inner chattering and see the potential of a mind that can rest in stillness.
Thoughts, analytical processes and intellectual elaborations are wonderful and exquisite tools and as every tool we can consciously decide when to use it and when to switch it off.
