TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION The Path to Enlightenment in Tuscany
T
here are many different types of meditation, all aiming at the same purpose; to be freed from stress (the leading cause of all disease) and to establish a new physical order inside your body
through which you gain mental stability and physical benefits. According to many traditions, the best way to reach enlighment is through meditation. Transcendental Meditation is a simple technique that enables the mind to go beyond thinking to the source of thought. Thoughts are energy because they flow. They are intelligence because they choose a direction.
The source of thought, therefore, is an infinite field of energy and intelligence. The state that one can reach through TM is that of great calm and peace, characterized by increased energy, intelligence and expanded awareness. This is completely different from the normal states we experience throughout the day and night. TM is unique. It does not require contemplation nor concentration. It is not a form of hypnosis
nor does it require any particular belief. The practice can be done by anyone, from the age of five onwards. The practice enables the slowing down of mental activity. The body settles down into a very deep state of rest, deeper than sleep. Yet the mind remains fully alert and awake. The result is the expansion and achievement of a greater sense of awareness. To learn TM, you need to find an authorized teacher who can train you in less than one week.
The best way to practice TM is twice a day for 20 minutes, before meals, in the early mornings and in the evenings. You can either meditate in a group or alone. Through regular practice of TM, the body and the mind are rejuvenated and health improves. There is less desire to use tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs. Your life will change and the more regular your practice, the more you will release tension and stress. In Tuscany you can learn TM in Florence or Livorno.

L’ALCHEMISTA
Hand made talismanic jewellery from the Lucca hills
They are both trained goldsmiths and produce beautiful pieces. The really interesting part of their work is that the inspiration for their jewellery comes from their spirituality. They are putting the original talismanic meaning back into jewellery. Anna was born in Helsinki, Finland, famous for it’s reindeers, saunas and lakes but also renowned for it’s indigenous Inuit tribes who follow a shamanic spiritual path. Anna draws from this heritage and creates some astoundingly beautiful pieces.
