The Quiet Within

Testimonial of an inamte from a prison in central Israel

I’m happy about the meditation, because it’s something real that connects me to my thoughts, emotions, and sensations that are actually my whole world. It also develops my self-awareness when thinking, talking, and acting. Last week I had a difficult challenge with anger. There was an argument with a certain person who made it all about my personality and publicly insulted me, and I noticed that I was angry. I controlled myself and did not react out of the anger. This is deeply connected to the lesson we had learned, about how I can notice a hole in the ground and instead of falling into it as usual, just pass it by. In conclusion: it’s an amazing tool.
