I always wished to be happy and for everyone around me to be happy as well. However, it seemed like happiness was always conditional and fleeting. To fulfill my yearnings for happiness, I participated in many different physical activities, listened to music, socialized with friends, volunteered at organizations, spent more time with people I loved immensely. During those activities, I felt happy, but soon after, I felt a void within. It seemed like my life was filled with cycles of ups and downs. I questioned the impermanence of life and feared losing loved ones. At the same time, I couldn’t understand why according to situations, I sometimes reacted with love, sympathy, positivity and patience and other times I reacted with hatred, judgment, fear, defense and negativity. I really wanted to perfect my character. I felt like I didn’t know myself truly. Sorting out my thoughts to get to know myself better definitely didn’t work either. Reading self help books and motivational quotes didn’t get me far either because I couldn’t always follow through and implement them. So I just accepted that this is life and continued with my everyday routine.
Then one Friday evening, as I was unwinding after a long work week with a close friend, I found a beautiful meditation flier on her kitchen floor. I casually noted the phone number and out of curiosity, called the number the very next day. Coincidentally, there was a open house on that day. I found everything that was covered in the seminar to be very interesting. I was amazed that this meditation was guided and had a concrete method. Before, whenever I tried to meditate, I just didn’t know what to do and I always ended up more frustrated. I decided to give it a try and after the very first session, my mind felt so clear that when I left this meditation center, it felt like I walked into a completely new world. I instantly knew this was what I needed to do. I quickly became a regular meditator at the meditation center. I found it was so easy to clear my mind there. I found the method of this meditation to be very precise, logical and easy to follow. Throughout all the levels of this meditation, I truly confirmed within myself my identity and answers to all my questions in life. After completion of this meditation, I am truly happy all the time regardless of conditions. I am now able to appreciate my life and everyone around me. I am truly thankful to this meditation and with the greatest sincerity, I invite you to try it for yourself.
