I live in Kathmandu, Nepal with my loving husband and two children. I started this meditation method at the main centre in South Korea two years ago. Since then, I have been continuing to meditate remotely with Berkeley Meditation. Meditating alone and remotely is not very easy but due to the constant guidance from Berkeley center and my determination for completion, I am now in level 5 of the meditation method. In the past two years, people around me have seen lots of changes in me. I have also seen many changes in myself- I feel like I can understand other people's perspective more and interact with them accordingly. I can prioritize what is more important to me. I am more patient and calmer now. I don't worry about my future as much and I try to live in the present and enjoy every moment. This meditation method has been an eye-opener for me to renew myself. The method is the key to awaken myself and make me aware of who I am. It is a hope for life and a recharger for me whenever I am frustrated, demotivated and demoralised. So I am very thankful to the meditation method.
