As a physician practicing both occupational and general medicine, I have had the unique opportunity to observe the many ways in which health and well-being affect our quality of life. In today's fast-paced world, where stress and burnout are ever-present challenges, it has become increasingly clear to me that the search for balance and inner peace is more important than ever. In this context, I have found the practice of meditation to be not only personally enriching, but also a powerful tool in medical practice.The idea of writing a book on meditation diaries was born out of a desire to make this powerful practice more accessible and to provide a concrete tool for individuals to document and reflect on their meditative experiences. This book is intended not only to provide guidance on meditation, but also to emphasize the scientifically proven health benefits of this practice. As a physician, I am deeply convinced that meditation not only promotes mental and emotional well-being, but can also play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of physical and mental illness.In the following chapters you will receive a comprehensive introduction to meditation, including practical instructions on how to keep a meditation journal. This journal will serve as a constant companion, allowing you to track your progress, gain insights and ultimately establish a deeper connection with your inner self. In addition, the medical benefits of meditation are discussed in detail, with a particular focus on the prevention and treatment of conditions that are common in my medical practice.
