Through meditation, many people from all walks of life have learnt to reduce stress and be free from harmful states of mind such as anger, uncontrolled desire and ignorance. Meditation helps us develop positive minds such as love, compassion and wisdom, and in this way help us come to experience lasting peace and happiness. These methods work for anyone, from any country and any age. Once we have gained experience of it for ourselves we can pass it on to others so they too, can enjoy the same benefits. My wish from this is that you learn to relax and find peace wherever you may be and in whatever situation you may find yourself.

Why meditate? What’s the point?
We all wish to be happy all the time during our day and during our dreams and even during deep sleep. We wish to be happy all the time but have not found a path or way to decide our happiness because we are all looking in the wrong place. We are looking outside of ourselves when we should be looking inside. Happiness is a state of mind/heart and can only be found within the mind/heart. Meditation makes our minds peaceful and calm and when our mind is peaceful and calm we are happy irrespective of the situation we are in. Meditation helps us become accustomed to the happiness that lies within us and give us the power to accomplish our deepest wish, to be happy all the time.
Above all! Please relax and enjoy. If you are not enjoying you are doing something wrong.
