I have been practicing yoga for 7 years before coming to this workshop, but meditation was still something very difficult to understand for me. I heard this word so many times…. One person says that it is difficult, another that it is just for buddhists, others that it is impossible in Kali Yuga… internet is full of meditation techniques, but I still don’t feel anything of all that resonating with me, or can truly make me understand what is meditation.
The first thing I learned in this workshop was that the fear is the first thing that does not let me explore, and all this different information created a real fear to try to meditate. Paul helped me understand that meditation is something that everyone can access, like thinking or like drinking water, you just have to allow yourself to simply try. And he introduced a few simple techniques, and you can try them all, and it feels so good. And here start the most interesting part, you understand that meditation is actually about making you feeling better, you stop thinking that meditation will make you escape from Samsara, or make you like Superman :), or fly to Mars… no, it is a simple something that can makes you feel better, makes you discover yourself simply by breathing and realizing that you are right now in the moment – alive and it is you… and this thing makes you feel true, clear and joyful…
