I Find Peace Like This
There is a great power in letting go that most people aren’t aware of, we tend to think of it as losing because we were made to believe that our worth is measured by how much is in our pockets , closets and houses.
It is far more easier to present Mindfulness to children than to adults. Do you know why? Because children live in the present moment and every day they teach us to be aware, present and focused on here and now. They remind us that our lives are happening right now and not in the past or the future.
Ever wonder what will it be like to achieve Nirvana? That is the state of being achieving true oneness within – to free yourself from desire, suffering and the sense of self. It can really be challenging as we cannot deny the fact that we live in a materialistic world.
The famous sentence “You are what you eat” has been around for quite a while now, but still there is alarming amount of people with no awareness or concern about their diet.

“I am in pain! It hurts so much I cannot get up in the morning, I cannot live a normal life”, you may hear this on a daily basis as more than one person out of ten is constantly experiencing chronic pain (this is if we generalise based on the research made by National Institutes of Health in the USA, and assume the rest of the world’s population is in the similar pain conditions).
How did I become interested in meditation for older adults? When I recently faced how my grandfather turned into a baby after he had a heart attack at the age of 86, I started looking for solutions of how to ease his burden of pain and anxiety and make his mind lighter and the last years of his life happier.
The enjoyment is exactly in the search, not at the end of it.
