I Find Peace Like This
One of my friends asked me to take a look at the peace revolution web page, as a new thing it made me curious. I registered and watched the first video and answered the questions carefully. I went to my friend, who introduced me this website, and I asked a lot of questions about what I should do. Did as I’ve been told to and I was somehow happy about it. I was on my twenty-seventh session when I got Mena Salam III fellowship mail. I applied for it.
These are some aspects about how meditation and mindfulness have an impact in your life, if you take them as habits in your daily activities. To suffer less and be happier!
In the early 90’s, when I was a kid, there was a TV show called “Out of this world”. It was a young teenager named Evie who finds out that her father is from a different planet and because of that she has superpowers. Well, actually, just one. An amazing one! Evie is able to stop time. She touches the tips of her index fingers and everything around her freezes. She could then ignore her mom’s scolding, get some extra time to check her history book before answering her teacher or even give herself an extra minute gazing at her crush passing by in the hall.
The 21st Century is the fastest and very competitive. Millions of people get through yet billions stuck. The minority who wins believes in YES and the majority who always lose sit in NO. This is simultaneously happening to make the world go round. You cannot sit in the comfort zone while everything change is so fast. We moved from analog to digital, typewriter to the computer and so many changes over decades.
Kendini ve evreni merak eden herkesin yolu meditasyonda buluşabilir.
27-31 Mayıs tarihlerinde Fethiye de bulunan Pastoral Vadi de gerçekleşen Thailand merkezli Peace Revolution‘ın, MENA Salam Barış Buluşması na 21 günlük bir online eğitim ve mülakat sonunda katılma şansım oldu. Bu etkinlik ile ilgili izlenim ve hislerimi yazmamın birçok insana iç huzur ve barış dolu bir hayatı sürme konusunda fikir sağlayacağını düşündüğüm için paylaşmaya karar verdim.
Congratulations,
Wow yes, I got accepted at MENA Salam at Turkey, woohoo.
That was my first reaction when I got the acceptance Email, however I knew that I have a lot of paper issues to be covered due to some unrest between the governments of Egypt and Turkey.
A few years ago, still as a student at the Catholic University Institute of Buea, I came in contact with what changed my life for good. Working and studying full time I knew I had to get help with my depression. I recognized how unfair it was to my family to allow myself to be consumed by this negative emotion; I was not myself at work either.
A beautiful butterfly landed on my pillow. It was white with a black spot shaped as a half-moon on each wing. The butterfly kissed me and woke me up. I felt a pain. A terrible pain in my heart and my soul. The pain that I had never experienced before.
Have you ever had one of those sleepless nights, where you change your posture for hundred times already, flip your pillows for that cooler side, count white fluffy sheep for an hour and still can’t fall asleep? If you had one of those nights, you know how annoying it is to check the clock constantly just to realize that you are still awake and even when you wake up, you feel more tired than before. One of such nights can be still bearable, but what if you cannot fall asleep night after night?
I am Fulgence Niyonkuru, living in Ghana. I came to know about Peace Revolution in 2012 but I got involved with Peace Revolution in 2013 and I have been active peace rebel, Peace agent, peace coach ever since. I have heard lots experiences to share regarding the journey of my inner peace building through the practice of meditation.
