Back to the video….

Her story very much rings true to me as well as your comments above. I came to meditation and Buddhism because I wanted to explore for myself. I had always read books about it and had a interest in it, but I never really formally practiced it. Stress, anxiety and some forms of unhappiness were prevalent in my life, but I never really knew why since there was nothing ‘bad’ about my life……which was a bit confusing to me. So, finally I made the decision to look for the answers myself. I knew it wouldn’t come from ‘out there’ b/c there is no out there. That’s when my perspective changed and I made the commitment to explore the inner workings of my mind and come to my own answers.
