Meditation
Meditation today includes various techniques of calming, relaxation, building life energy (chi, ki, prana ..) and developing compassion, love, alertness, generosity and forgiveness. Meditation does not mean becoming a different person, a new person or even a better person. It is the practice of raising awareness and gaining an objective perspective about oneself and the world. In meditation, we learn to observe thoughts or feelings without judgment. We want to better listen to our inner voice and intuition, to better explore and understand ourselves. It brings many health (psychological, neurological, cardiovascular) and other effects. It has a positive effect on reducing stress, anxiety, depression and pain and brings more peace, alertness, improves self-esteem and good feeling.
Meditation techniques
Meditation techniques are divided into 2 types:
- focused meditation - directing attention to the selected object, breathing, visualization or words, mantras, with a mala necklace;
- mindfulness (wakefulness, awareness) meditation - observing the 'journey' of thoughts, feelings, emotions, moods... from the perspective of an external observer, without the active participation of the mind.
How and where do we practice meditation?
We could say that we can do meditation anytime and anywhere, regardless of the situation, position, environment. The purpose of meditation is to use the peace and wakefulness we want to achieve by practicing meditation in our daily challenges. Practice should not be used as an “escape” from life, but should be a part of life.
Let's start gradually, in small steps. If we are beginners, it makes sense to start in a group, with guided meditation, because the group will support us in nurturing perseverance. The space in which we meditate should be pleasant, comfortable, quiet. You can create a zen corner in your home, it can be a corner in nature, a studio... wherever you feel safe and relaxed.
We can choose between a static or dynamic form of meditation. In static forms of meditation, our body is at rest, and is mostly performed in a sitting position on the ground with the help of meditation accessories (zafu, bolster, pillow), on a chair or in a lying position - for example on a yoga mat. During the static form of meditation we make sure that we are in comfortable and warm clothes and covered with a blanket. The dynamic form of meditation involves gentle, soft body movements - e.g., meditative walking, qigong, integrating asanas, more advanced breathing techniques.
Alles mooi socks - a combination of Merino wool and Mohair
The Slovenian African association ALLES MOI has dedicated itself to products made from natural fibers - mohair, wool, bamboo, which are biodegradable, sustainable and skin-friendly. Each product (socks, blankets, technical pants) takes into account tradition and is a collection of knowledge, passion and experience. With selected natural materials, they support local communities in South Africa and are environmentally responsible.
Combination of Merino wool and Mohair. What are the great features of mohair socks? Mohair comes from the Angora goat, which gives us this wonderful "wool".
Until now, we have always talked about Merino wool, how it is the best thermoregulator, how durable, comfortable to wear... All this is still true. But we opened our eyes a little more and saw how wonderful the combination of Merino wool and mohair is.
They wrote somewhere: Wool is great but mohair is better. Yes it's true. Both together are the best!
And what are all these great features of mohair socks:
- the socks do not develop unpleasant odors (air the socks overnight, the next morning the socks are fresh and ready to wear)
- mohair socks are more durable because mohair fibers are one of the most durable natural fibers that stretch up to 30% and then return to their original shape without any problem
- socks are antibacterial because bacteria cannot "stick" to the smooth mohair fibers
- mohair socks keep your feet dry by wicking moisture away from your feet and drying quickly
- mohair, like wool, is the best natural thermoregulator - such socks will keep you warm in the cold and cool in the heat
- mohair fibers are smooth and therefore the socks are comfortable and prevent blisters
- special, smooth fibers ensure that the socks shrink only minimally during washing
- exceptional comfort and convenience in all seasons
Alles Mooi socks were developed by local experts. They are made in the Republic of South Africa. The angora goat that gives us this wonderful "wool" comes from JAR. The coat of the Angora goat is very soft, long and silky and known for its luster. Although the hair of angora goats has scales like normal wool fibers, these are only indicated and not fully developed. Because of this, it cannot be felted, but these fibers are therefore more durable, antibacterial, more stretchable, more insulating... It is the most durable animal fiber - it is flexible and not rigid, and can be bent and twisted without damage. At the same time, JAR is also a large producer of Merino wool. So two super raw materials in one place.
ALLES MOOI means all good in the language of South Africa.
For the team, all good means that they invest love, knowledge, passion, their heart, everything they can, into their work and products. They traveled a large part of the world, lived in different countries, experienced different living environments, different cultures... Each destination, each environment had its good and bad sides. They gathered all this together and made a new product from their experience and from the abundance of nature. Their products are produced with old traditions, knowledge, passion, experience, with the support of local communities. Natural and sustainable.
Alles Mooi / all good = heritage and future.
