In this series, we will do meditation exercises through Vincent van Gogh's masterpieces.

Meditation can provide inner peace and help against stress.

In addition, it can be practiced almost everywhere.

For example, on the train, at work, or at home.

Straighten your back and relax your shoulders.

Breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.

In front of you, you can see a painting by Vincent van Gogh.

Vincent painted it in the summer of 1889.

It depicts a corner of the garden of the psychiatric institution in Saint-Rémy.

He chose to go there himself because he wasn't feeling very well mentally.

Now shift your attention to the painting.

Try to look at the painting without judgment.

You don't have to find it beautiful or ugly or well executed.

At first glance, you may see nothing more than some tree trunks with proliferating ivy and spots of light on the ground.

But if you zoom in on this painting, you mainly see a sea of loose brushstrokes.

Most of them are short and surprisingly multicolored.

Only the contours of the tree trunks consist out of longer strokes.

If it feels good, you can close your eyes or gently look through your eyelashes.

Imagine that you are standing in a garden too.

Maybe you feel a soft breeze on your skin.

You keep on breathing in and out through your nose and listening to the sounds around you in the garden.

Maybe you hear the chirping of the birds or the rustling of the leaves.

Maybe you feel the grass or the warmth of the sun on your skin.

See if you can stay focused on the garden.

If you notice that your mind is wandering off, that's okay.

Then kindly try to bring it back to the garden.

Back to yourself, back to your breathing.

If your eyes were closed, open them slowly.

Let the image of the painting in front of you calmly sink in again.

Can you see the loose brush strokes and the diversity in colors?

Slowly follow the brush strokes with your eyes, the thick blobs, the light and dark touches of color.

Now slowly focus your attention on your surroundings.

Maybe you feel the need to stretch or move your body.

Do what feels good to you in this moment.

Again, breathe in deeply through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.

 Thank yourself for the attention and the moment of peace that you gave yourself.
