“ when we went into silence, in the first half I succeeded … I was really focused inside and feeling things … then the second half of the meditation was difficult for me … I started to think about a few things and I lost my focus … I think the process changed my mood and made me smile … compared to other [ styles of ] meditation, I think this was the first time I succeeded to be so long in emptiness and be focused … usually when I try to meditate, my mind is going around and thinking … but this is the first time that I succeeded to get into that state [ of meditation ] … thank you so much … “
