Hello hello my lovely friends and family,
It is yet another beautiful day to be alive. I've been back from Worcester, where the Vipassanna meditation was, for one week. This week has been interesting being back in a routine and processing the meditation. I did not know anything about Vipassanna before I arrived..what an amazing experience. The meditation has you sit and just observe the sensations of your own body. It takes you out of your head (thoughts) and has you observe yourself. In this state you become aware of your thoughts, thought processes and how it connects with your body. So for 10 days I observed my own mind, body, and thoughts in complete silence. Wow! It took some strong determination to sit for hours and to not be distracted. After the first few days, once my mind finally shut up, I really experienced my own wisdom coming up. I highly recommend this meditation form. It has so many benefits! Please contact me if you want to learn more or visit www.pataka.dhamma.org there are centers all over the world (4 in the US!) These centers are run off of donations from past students, just paying it forward!
Now that I'm back, I'm obviously talking again ha, but keeping up meditating once in the morning for an hour and once in the evening. I can tell a big difference the days when I do not meditate. It is so nice taking time to center yourself. I have much more clarity, peace, and freedom. Hope you all can find time to take a moment during the day to just sit, reflect and observe. Lots of blessings and love, lizzy
