In the past, I tried many meditation techniques, but since I went to => India <=, only one has stayed with me. This one is free, non-religious and more like a philosophy of life. Vipassana, which means "seeing things as they really are," is a method taught for 2,500 years by Siddhartha Gautama, known to many as the Buddha.
No time, no space—just you within your body, allowing the mind to calm down and to look deep inside at what arises and what fades away. Our thoughts will always be present, but the practice is learning to listen to or feel what lies between them.
We feel refreshed, reborn, and attentive. We become more present, with a sharper mind, ready to embrace each new day and the situations it brings. As we become more attuned to the present moment and our senses, we start to appreciate the simple yet profound aspects of life.
To be honest, I often find myself thanking the sun that rises each day, nurturing life on our planet, and realizing that without it, I couldn't live the privileged life I have.
