My Meditation Story -Erandi❤️

I was lost in a place that even I couldn’t understand.
I didn’t know what was happening to me, and I was desperately searching for a way out. 😬

At first, I had no real understanding of meditation.
I came to the center simply because I wanted to escape from my own thoughts.🤫

In the beginning, everything felt calm. For the first time in a long while, I had space to be with myself and reflect on what had happened in my life, where I had gone wrong, and why I was carrying so much pain.😒

Slowly, I began to see something important. It was not the world around me that was creating all my suffering. It was my expectations, my anger, my fears, my overthinking, and the stories I kept repeating in my mind.😃

As I continued the practice and went deeper into meditation, my understanding slowly grew. I began to see things more clearly. 😍

The thoughts are still there, but now I understand them better. I no longer have to follow every thought that appears. I can simply observe and let it pass.

This journey has taught me something I could never have learned from words alone. It gave me a deeper understanding of myself and of life.

I am truly grateful for this method, for the teachers who guided me, for everyone who supported this journey, and most importantly, for myself—for choosing this path and following it sincerely.🥰

May all beings find truth, peace, and happiness while they live.🙆‍♀️
Thank you, Universe. ❤️

🌱 Body & Mind Are One

"The human mind stores everything it has stolen from the world... turning away from Truth."
—Teacher Woo Myung

Feeling heavy, tense, or exhausted lately?

Your body reacts directly to a cluttered mind.
When we constantly chase illusions and hold onto stress, that mental burden manifests as physical pain.

True wellness doesn't come from adding more—
it starts with subtraction. By meditating and emptying out the false minds, your body naturally releases tension and finds true peace.

Take just 10 minutes today to close your eyes and let go. The more you empty, the lighter and healthier you become. 🧘‍♂️✨

Daminda's Meditation story💖

There was a time when I felt completely lost. Alcohol, gambling, and uncontrollable anger had taken over my life.😩

I was hurting not only myself but also the people I loved most. My wife and son called me "The Incredible Hulk" 😡

because my anger would explode without warning. I would break things around the house and later feel ashamed, wondering why I couldn't control myself.😅

When I first walked into Colombo Meditation Center, I was desperate for change. From the very first session, I felt something I had never experienced before—a sense of peace that words cannot fully describe.😊

I continued attending both online and in-person sessions, trusting the process one day at a time.🙂
Slowly, the person I used to be began to disappear. My anger faded. The desire to drink and gamble lost its grip on me. For the first time in many years, I felt calm, clear, and genuinely happy.🤗

One morning, my son sat beside me and asked, "Dad, what happened to the Incredible Hulk?"
At that moment, tears filled my eyes. It was then that I realized how much had changed—not only within me but also in the lives of my family.😁😀😃

Today, I understand that this meditation is about much more than stress relief or happiness. It is a journey of discovering our true universal mind and reconnecting with our deepest nature.

This meditation has transformed my life in ways I never thought possible, and for that I am forever grateful.🙏

True Words and Behaviors If individual sees the world properly with clear eyes; if they list...

This drawing is about awakening and coming back
to your true self.🧏‍♀️

It’s about that peaceful, blissful state you reach
when you stop identifying with all the masks
created by fear, memories, expectations, and survival.💁‍♀️

The main figure represents the true self or the universal mind, while the masks around her symbolize the different roles and identities we carry through life.

By becoming aware of the faults mind and slowly letting it go, we return to a more natural state of being: free, conscious, peaceful, and connected.🙆‍♀️

Meditation helped me find peace by looking at life
in a different perspective. It also made my creativity flow more naturally and helped me balance life and work better. And most importantly to be happy 🙏🏻
