Meditation. Simple practices for finding peace and harmony with yourself. Ulrich Hoffmann
Meditation helps with muscle tension, stress, depression, back pain and headaches, and also, for example, with outbursts of anger. Within a few weeks of practice, changes in brain activity appear. Among other things, the blood supply to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for our emotions, improves.
Meditation exercises the brain in the ability to be in silence. Practicing mindful shutdown in calm moments gives the brain time to recover. And then it turns out to keep calm in exciting times.
During meditation, we focus on what is happening in this very moment, and on the fact that everything exists as it exists - I, you, the world. We remain fully focused on the present moment. We cannot change it. He is what he is. Acceptance of what is, without evaluation and without it owning you, is the first step towards changes in a positive direction.

2. " SILENCE IN THE AGE OF NOISE. A SMALL BOOK FOR A BIG CITY”, Erling Kagge
The civilized world is engulfed in an epidemic of noise. Alerts coming to the mobile, the roar of transport, the sounds made by all kinds of equipment - all this is distracting and very unnerving, it does not allow you to concentrate or relax. The constant impact of noise on our nervous system causes stress, causes breakdowns and conflicts. Only in silence can you calm down, gather your thoughts and make the right decision, but we do not have the opportunity to retire, find a quiet corner, close ourselves from the outside world - cacophony overtakes everywhere. Norwegian writer and researcher Erling Kagge argues that perfect silence can be found even in the midst of the loudest noise, if you know how. In his essential book for every inhabitant of a big city, he answers three important questions: “What is silence?”, “Where can I find it?” and “Why is it so important today?”.

The exercises in the book will help you reduce stress, become more creative and stop worrying about everything in the world - breath by breath. And they are really simple - like breathing itself.

5. " THE MYTH OF FREEDOM AND THE PATH OF MEDITATION”, Chogyam Trungpa
This book is a classic of authenticity, realness, which dispels all myths about spirituality and enlightenment. This is the book that was with Steve Jobs on his Indian journey. Here is what Trungpa himself says: “Meditation is not the pursuit of ecstasy, spiritual bliss or tranquility; It's not about trying to be better. This is just the creation of a certain space in which you can realize and neutralize your neurotic tricks, self-deception, hidden fears and hopes. The goal and the technique itself here coincide: to be in the present moment, not suppressing, but not dissolving yourself to wildness, to be in a clear awareness of yourself.
6. “ATTENTIVE BRAIN. A SCIENTIFIC VIEW ON MEDITATION by Daniel Siegel
This book seems to be one of the most complete and best available for people with a solid approach and a scientific mindset to date. Daniel Siegel talks about the structure of the brain, the nature of consciousness, explores meditation and various practices, and combines data from scientific research on the brain with the practice of mindfulness and sensory perception. And at the same time, the book is quite universal - both for those who would like to learn more about the work of consciousness and awareness, and for those who want to get rid of stress, irritability and anxiety on their own.
7. “MEDITATION AND AWARENESS: 10 MINUTES A DAY TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS IN ORDER” by Andy Puddicombe

They do not require any special knowledge or prior training; step-by-step instructions make it possible to master the technique of meditation on your own. It only takes ten minutes a day to reap the benefits of this technique.
8. “RELOAD YOUR BRAIN. RESOLUTION OF INTERNAL CONFLICTS, Stephen Hayes, Spencer Smith
A complete guide to ACT techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, also known as Mindfulness Without Meditation. The book is really hard, you have to honestly look yourself in the eye to complete the exercises and tasks, but if you want to radically change your life - it's worth it.
9. “MINDERED MEDITATION: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PAIN AND STRESS RELIEF”, Vidyamala Burch, Denny Penman
The book is intended for people in whose lives there is a lot of pain and suffering, for them this is one of the best helpers. Nevertheless, it will be useful for anyone to read and practice. Life is fickle, and who knows what else we will encounter, so Vidyamala and Denny's invaluable experience and the developed methods for reducing pain and stress should at least be known.

(1959-12-10 ) (50 years)Biography
Wolf Hoffmann was born on December 10, 1959 in, and moved with his family to. His father was and worked for the company. Mother was a housewife. It was expected that after graduating from the gymnasium, Wolf would enter and be busy with a decent job. How he became a guitarist in a rock band Hoffmann and he does not know.
I grew up in a scientific family, receiving a good, if not the best, education. And I was expected to go to university and become a marriage lawyer, an engineer, or maybe a physicist. So what happened? I didn't grow up in an orphanage or with foster parents, whom I hated. I wasn't from the working class, but for some reason I ended up playing or worse, ! And it wasn't even because of something like "that-day-when-I-saw-the-Beatles-at-the-Ed-Sullivan-I-realized-what-I-want-to-be"!
It all started with the fact that his friend began to play the guitar and showed a couple to Wolf. Tom liked it and decided to learn the guitar too. Unlike many rock musicians, Wolf immediately realized that he could not master it on his own (education and family foundations made themselves felt) and therefore, with an acoustic guitar (the family rejected the electric guitar), he began to take lessons from one teacher working on a voluntary basis. For about a year he learned classical pieces, and finally he bought an electric guitar made of plywood, the price was something like 20. He connected it to old tube radios, which broke down very quickly, so he had to advertise for the purchase of such rarities.
"Do you want to tell the truth? It's a funny story. The guitar I've barely ever used in the studio is the Flying V. Most people think I don't part with it. But I mostly used it on stage because it looks great. Guitar good, and the sound is ok, but there are better guitars for the studio.
The music of Wolf Hoffmann was greatly influenced by classical composers (for example, interpretations of classical works in songs appeared on his initiative), and.
Wolf Hoffmann is also a professional photographer, and after his breakup he devotes his time almost entirely to photography. On his official website there is no word about his musical career. In this regard, Wolf Hoffmann is practically not engaged in a solo career: he only released an album in 2000 classical, containing guitar arrangements of classical works, he also noted on the solo album of Sebastian Bach (ex-). In addition, he recorded on Japanese Randy Rhoads ( Randy Rhoads Tribute) on two songs, again with Sebastian Bach and .
Wolf Hoffmann is married to Gabi Hauck, a manager who goes by the pseudonym Daffy.
According to DDD, he is ranked the 29th best heavy metal guitarist, his solo in the song is ranked 60th among the best heavy metal solos.

How long to practice
The meditation exercises in this book last from 2 to 30 minutes. In order not to think about time during meditation, set an alarm clock that ticks not very loudly. And, of course, turn off your cell phone.
Curious experiment
Comparing the number of visits to doctors and the nature of the requests, the scientists found that meditators spent 50% less time in the hospital, they had 87% fewer diseases of the cardiovascular system. They also had 30% fewer infections and 50% fewer cancers!
The power of calm
Meditation gives the brain the opportunity to be in silence. If you practice conscious disconnection in calm moments, the brain is restored. And then it turns out to remain calm in difficult situations.
Most importantly, regularly
It is better to meditate regularly for 2-3 minutes a day than less often, but for a long time. Your mood for successful meditation does not matter. The only important thing is to try to meditate as well as possible at the moment - and soon it will become a routine activity, just like brushing your teeth.
