News Detox

Every day we are bombarded with "news".

Politician X demands ....................

Politician Y wants ..................

Politician Z is appalled .......................

I can't listen to it anymore!

So for some time now I have refused to listen to the media garbage that is poured over me.

Imagine it is "peace", there is silence around us, the "concerned" statements no longer reach me.

Therefore, I no longer read news, such or otherwise, I am no longer "reachable".

I don't read (and watch) "news" anymore, WITHOUT ME!

I have "news detox!"

There is no good news. Just because there is bad news doesn't necessarily mean there is good news

- David Benioff - US writer - born 1970

As a child I learned to read from the news of war

- Michael Walzer - US social philosopher and intellectual - born 1935

Headlines mislead us in some ways, because bad news is a headline, but gradual improvements are not

- Bill Gates - US entrepreneur, programmer and patron of the arts - born 1955

I don't even have an email address. I have reached an age where my main purpose is not to receive news.

- Umberto Eco - Italian writer - 1932 to 2016

News is always more, but it is only according to those who (let) choose it. The more news about unimportant things, the more important things remain hidden. Worldwide, millions of equally important things are concealed at the same time for millions every day

- Helmut Seethaler - Austrian writer - born 1953

I am accredited, have a camera and a lot of time. That is a deadly combination

- Oliver Pocher - German entertainer, showmaster and comedian - born 1978

You'll find a quiet, practical companion in Buddhism in daily life-Mindfulness in every day tasks, hosted by Shaolin-Rainer. This isn't about abstract philosophy; it's a hands-on guide for weaving the principles of Chan Buddhism directly into the fabric of your ordinary day. Rainer's voice serves as a gentle guide, offering short lectures that bridge timeless Asian spiritual practices with contemporary Western life, making ancient wisdom feel immediately accessible and useful. Each episode is a down-to-earth session, whether it's a guided meditation you can do while washing dishes or insights on finding stillness during a commute. The core of this podcast rests on the transformative power of mindfulness and genuine self-compassion, presented as tools to soften emotional struggles, nurture a sense of healing, and cultivate a quieter confidence. You'll encounter practical discussions on self-acceptance, approaches to managing anxiety, and the integration of movement practices like Yoga and Qi Gong as extensions of mindful awareness. Ultimately, tuning in is an invitation to discover the spiritual awakening hidden within your own routine, turning every task into an opportunity for presence and peace.
