During late 2009, I was struggling to break a pattern in my life. I did try various things, also tried alternative healing but somehow it didn’t give me that strength to break that pattern and start afresh.

A dear friend now, completely aloof of my experiences, enrolled me into a 10 day course at Vipassana. So powerful was this experience that all such patterns broke, I started again, putting all pieces together and pushing really hard towards my dream.

Those 10 days of Silence, living only in silence, has been such a game changer in my life that I still enjoy experiencing it every moment that I can. And whenever I get a chance I do go for another round of 10 days of just breathing in and out, immersing myself in self love.

I am thankful to all those people who have supported me in my journey into Silence, from time immemorial because it is now that I sit with my little one who sits on my lap with her head on my chest and we experience silence for a short while together.

May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.

Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.
