I have been taking the meditation course for 8 months. I am 55 years old and am at the “cardiac room”.
It was the first time in my life I had heard the word “meditation” and at the beginning I could not relate to it at all. After four meetings I approached the instructor and told her I got nothing from these sessions, and she in turn explained that it was a process. Indeed, after listening to her and doing what really needed to be done, I gradually started feeling better. I have become more patient toward myself, and understood how to pay more attention to myself. I started looking forward to the next meeting more and more.
At the beginning, I was satisfied whenever the teacher did not show up for the meeting and put it off until the next week.
When I started getting the idea of meditation and the instructor did not turn up I was terribly upset.
Through meditation I learned to pay heed to everything about me, and I started doing that every day.
I began with shaving, taking notice of my shaving more, and then I started payin more attention to the way I walked, my speech, and have become more in touch with myself, which gave me an opportunity to better relate to my environment. It enabled me to discover positive capabilities within myself. The more I found out good things about myself the better I treated my friends. I recommend to others to not refrain from doing things and feeling things, it is the biggest pleasure out there to be able to feel things.
