El silencio es algo vivo

In the world of Chandra Livia Candiani, where the word is image and poetry, meditating is staying still, patiently following your breath and welcoming it in silence and humility; it is following the movements of our mind without dwelling on thoughts of the past and future, and letting them pass before us like birds in a vast sky. Meditating does not consist of creating a void around us, but of uniting two worlds: that of the spiritual and that of the everyday. And then the most ordinary gestures such as cooking, washing, cleaning or reading can become forms of prayer, rituals that connect us intimately with ourselves and what happens to us.
