“I am honoured to write to you about my feedback concerning the meditation course.
It's been a whole week since the course. I ask myself, “What have I gained from the course?” In a word, I feel physically exhausted, but mentally relieved. All the meditations are tough for me since it is the first time I have done so; only with persistence and endurance could I complete them to the last moment. Of course, during the process, a sense of hard-at-first-but-easy-at-last has always strongly accompanied me. But for the physical exhaustion, I would not have opened my heart so easily. My life fragments, particularly those in my childhood, which seem to have been away for so long and which from the perspective of my consciousness never to turn up in my life, have risen up from the depths of my heart, bringing me happy and sad memories and most importantly a sudden realization of the source of my thoughts and behaviours as well as those problems troubling me. I feel more and more peaceful. Those I used to hold on so fast become looser. My eyes turn softer. My heart begins to flow. I learn to stay with my emotions, experiencing them and overcoming them, to ask my heart, not my mind, to accept myself, both merits and defects, and equally other people around me. With all those feelings in my consciousness, I don't think to stay peaceful is as difficult as it used to be. Now I live consciously and heart fully aiming at a goal of a balanced state of mind.”

“This course was a little difficult for me because I was confronted with my fear of authority and my refusal to comply with rules, to situations that are too challenging for me. Yet I felt that I had the freedom and the space to express these feelings. This opening to life energy was a good eye opener for me.”

“Right after this awareness intensive I felt myself being very fragile, very much like a crystal, very beautiful, but also fragile. I recognized that I had to be very gentle with myself. Being gentle with myself meant for me making use of this deeper understanding and awareness of myself that I gathered during these 3 days.
It meant that I could immediately notice, when something that I did, said or wanted, did not really match with what my inner-being wanted to do, say or go for.
Still I found myself again not listening to my inner voice, but when asking myself something like "Is this really what I want right now?" I can at least become aware of the split that such a situation creates in me. This is especially true in relating with others. I can suddenly watch from which inner motivation I moved into the communication with another.
When I act out of neediness and expectation, it didn't feel right and nourishing at all. However, if I only follow a true desire for sharing and connecting with a person, it becomes very beautiful and spontaneous.
Therefore, in this watching myself, I suddenly have a choice of what I want to do and after asking myself "Who is in?" I more often than normally follow my true inner voice.”
