| I had booked myself onto a course on the
| |
| | lost. As if a burden had fallen from my
|
| internet. I was really looking forward to

| | I kept on meditating daily and became
|
| something for a very long time and
| |
| | better and better at the technique and
|
| somewhere deep inside I knew: this is it.
| |
| | more stuff started falling of. Not always
|
| The course was very different from what I
| |
| | was this easy. Usually it started with

| |
| | periods of anguish, the pain of letting

| | go. But when I finally let go it was just

| The first three days was like a
| |
| | great. It made me into a much calmer and
|
| concentration exercise, concentrating on
| |
| | more relaxed person. Although anxiety and

| | stress still come occasionally, it does
|
| hard. Not only was I not accustomed to
| |
| | not really matter any more that much - I
|
| sitting for up to 12 hours a day on a mat

| on the ground, I also was unable to keep

| | It has been the greatest gift anybody
|
| was getting upset about not being able to
