This period i am reading a book about how to listen the body and identify the emotions in the body: Somawise by Luke Sniewski. I read this weekend an interesting idea that i never have consider it:
" In the broadest sense, meditation = silent stillness, is a solution to the global sustainability crises facing people today. In the face of soaring capitalist consumption and environmental degradation, silent stillness is a way of being that can dampen the destructive flames of modern consumerism. When we stop reacting to the internal drive for more and more and more, at the individual, organizational and collective level, we see that our unsatiated and unceasing appetites are nothing more than an effort to fill a void that material possessions cannot fill.
If we consider that most of the food we eat and the products we buy stem from an inability to manage our body's impulses, temptations and primal emotions, then we can see that actually learning how to respond to our inner cues can prevent us from consuming the world and destroying ourselves in the hope of soothing a restless inner state. ANd that is the role of Silent Stillness..."
So some food for thought...
