Reflection

Choosing reflection in difficult times can be useful for reassessing the status quo. However, it's important to acknowledge that our emotional responses, whether frustration, disappointment, or even anger, are not obstacles while reflecting but integral parts of the process.

The information overload in our emotion-exploitation economy contributed to what many scholars and policymakers describe as a polycrisis.1 It is increasingly difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, especially if complex distractions obstruct our path.

Is reflection the shoot of our global community’s plant of life?

What’s your reflection-to-engagement ratio?

Even though we can't change everything, everywhere, all at once, we can co-create fairness through awareness by thinking things through.

Sound-Guided Meditation

This sound-guided meditation was composed live using a 5-string electric violin, a microphone, and auxiliary instruments without pre-recorded or pre-composed music.

As you enjoy this sound-guided mindfulness meditation, reflect on your choice of reflection. If you like, share your reflection in the comments below.

For the best experience, use headphones and set the volume to medium. Be comfortable with quiet moments or complete silence, and avoid adjusting these periods. Normal sound levels will naturally return throughout the meditation.
