Hello there
Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2017 12:33 pm
I've recently found this forum and am pleased to be here.
After years of off and on new agy spirituality life sort of took over.
Married now with 6 children aging 7 to 19. Working full time with the mentally challenged autistic fellow human beings.
Wanted to break away from it all 5 years ago and intended to go a year without books, television and other distractions as much as I could In our busy home looking for the silence within. After about a month found that I didn't have enough "knowledge" to look for the silence, Break away from the obvious distractions only showed me how distracted I really was. Anyway opted to look for some guidence in structured meditation. Found daniel ingrams mastering the core teachings of the buddha. Was enthralled by the clear speech about what buddhism could offer. So I enrolled in a 15 day vipassana course at http://www.vipassana-dhammacari.com/main_eng.html
HAd a glimpse of what meditation had to offer. Lost my incentive to practise daily within months after that.
Somehow renewed my interest a few months ago and been meditation daily for the better part of 2 months now. Planning to go on another retreat coming april.
With Love
Eelco
