When I first began meditating at the Ashram, there was a covert norm that becoming ‘enlightened’ is a really difficult thing to do; it was only for the masters and you wouldn’t be able to achieve it in this lifetime. However, I have come to learn that awakening is for everyone. Anyone can become lighter. Each moment of ‘enlightenment’ brings you closer to who you really are, helps you heal and allows you to experience more joy in your moments.

Recognising that something is not working in your life does not have to be done with negativity; it can be done with presence and awareness. Sometimes in order to effect positive change, we need to acknowledge that something is not working.
