Our natural state of being is peace and happiness, but when the mind is lost in a sea of thought and confusion our natural state becomes hidden. The only way we can rediscover this peace is to look deeply into the mind and uproot the cause of this chaos. Free from illusion our mind returns to a state of stillness and silence. Our experience of life changes and we are left with the overwhelming realisation that life is complete, perfect and whole. We experience life as an open existence, a freedo …

The groups were also very large and with me having severe social anxiety I found it very intimidati …

Other women happily opt for staying single with career focused lives, emotionally supported by family and friends. Personally, I've always yearned to have a deep connected Soul sist …

By stretching and contracting the body, the mind experiences a state of awareness that you can call meditation. The second is through breathing exercises and pranayama, the mind becomes quiet and sti …
