In the hustle and bustle of life, meditation as a fresh and inspiring cool breeze brings a positive energy source.
Meditation, which is considered to belong to Eastern culture, is a very ancient practice, dating back to 2,500 years but until now has spread to the whole world, regardless of religion, gender, age. From the results of scientific research, meditation not only brings health benefits but also helps us resist the serious pollution of the era: materialism, consumerism and distraction. Due to digital devices, by helping us focus on the essential, meditation deserves to be called intellectual sports.
According to Dr. Christophe André and author of the 3-minute meditation book, he said: “Meditation is a tool to help us deepen our understanding of ourselves: Meditation helps us observe and understand. Knowing better the functioning of the mind helps us see more clearly the life and death of our thoughts and emotions. The benefits of meditation on emotional balance are also confirmed: It leads us bit by bit to reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions ”. In addition, thanks to awareness, people learn to listen to others in a real, non-judgmental way, without preparing an answer. It is necessary because social habits sometimes make us want to impose and conquer others instead of listening, understanding and empathy. Meditation helps us to calm down, focus, be wise, feel and admire life, and above all, it is gratitude. Meditation is actually not just sitting in the lotus position like a statue, but “The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. As long as you mind, you’ll see them. “

A meditation day starts at 4 am and ends at 10 pm. All activities are in silence. No conversation, no touch, no eye contact, no television, no phone, no books, no contact with people outside, no step out of the meditation practice area, no suspicious activities own consciousness. The early days passed in excitement but after that, my heart began to panic because a lot of images appeared rushing like a waterfall and surpassed my control. I tried but my mind was incorruptible, keeping my eyes closed was an image that automatically appeared even though I tried to take a deep breath, focusing on the breath, but they still didn’t disappear. That instability led me to consult with the Zen Master. He said, “Watch it!” I followed Zen Master’s words and felt like I was removed from the burden of control on my shoulders. My mind is expressed by “nature”. And I learned how to stand apart from the mind-set scenes.
The days after that were a series of wonderful days in the sense of calming the mind. I have silence in my heart. On the 8th day, I was more disturbed. The yogis around me also fluttered. By the 9th day, more people left, the atmosphere of meditation school became quieter. I give myself more time to sit in a stone chair, watching silent flowers without hesitation, swimming fish, bees flying around the stamens of honey. I watched the birds fly through the sky, watching the space around me. I feel life is full. I am full!
