Testimony dr Koen Vandewalle
In my medical practice, I increasingly see people with complaints of long-term fatigue, lack of energy, anxiety, burnout and depression. Our society has become demanding, everything has to go fast: multitasking!
And in order to be able to keep up with that 'rat race' and not lose the job, one preferably has to do everything perfectly. It is therefore clear that we cannot go down that road any further because it is sickening. The physical-mental condition of the population suffers. We need to go back to slowing down, to the Silence. The way in!
Spiritual values are much more important than material values: love, justice, compassion, forgiveness, self-relativization, etc. These values grow in us by nourishing them with Silence, meditation/prayer. Preferably as a daily activity.
Dr. Koen Vandewalle, Board member of 'Silence@Work' General practitioner, Bruges
