Healthy Mind, Happy Life

Blake

Teaneck, New Jersey

Blake has been practicing meditation for over 10 years. Along with hosting “How to Meditate” and a full-time meditation guide at the Teaneck, NJ center. Blake started meditation because he felt a lot of stress and anxiety, feeling like he was secretly holding internal pain. He wanted to become a happier and more peaceful person.

Through meditation he found peace that he didn’t think was possible. He could confidently feel that everything is OK, and he could accept any changes easily. His health, emotions and relationships improved as a spiritual connection to the world grew. He felt like he had gained true wisdom to understand the world in a more complete way.

Blake says now when he wakes up in the morning, he naturally feels true gratitude in his heart to be alive. His perspective changed to feel gratitude throughout the day for even “small” things, that are actually big things. Now that he has reached this level of peace and happiness, Blake is driven to help others to get there.

Ting

Originally an accountant, Ting has been a full-time helper at the Flushing, NY center for 5 years and the host of “Kids Meditation".

Loneliness was what first got Ting interested in meditation. Her best friend had to almost force her to give this meditation a try. When her friend suggested to meditate, she thought it would be just a waste of time. She thought there were better options, like hitting the gym, meeting new people, studying harder, working harder for my career, traveling around the world, etc.

Ting found that through this meditation she was able to realize that everything she was searching for, could be found within herself. She enjoys and feels thankful for being in the position to help others to realize what she discovered that everything exists within us. She found this to be the way for all of us to become one and free from all the desires, dissatisfactions, and suffering and find the true purpose of life.

Her hope is to share this great gift with the world and especially children because by starting meditation so young they can avoid so many hardships in life look forward to joyful, happy lives.

Neal

Long Island, New York

Neal has been meditating for 9 years at the Plainview, NY center. From an early age, he was interested in understanding the nature of reality. He wanted to find if there was a true way to see the world. He began his search by studying the bible then studied books from almost every other religion. He practiced Yoga, Zen, and methods from the Sufi mystics, and American Indian mystics. He practiced various forms of meditation.

He worked as a laboratory technologist and manager and raised a family but still didn't feel that the knowledge he gained had helped in life. When he started this meditation, they explained that it's not about knowledge, it's about becoming.

Through meditation he found the truth he had been searching for. The truth that all the founders of religions were talking about. Now he could experience this truth and apply it to life, finally everything made sense. Neal feels that there is nothing more important than to change the world by sharing this amazing meditation method with as many people as possible.

Irma

Austin, Texas

Irma is a part time meditation guide for Austin Meditation and contributes to OME’s blogs and writings. In 2020, Irma held free for the public meditation sessions on Zoom to help people deal with the stress, fears and sadness that Covid brought us.

Before meditation, Irma was living a senseless, stressful life that seemed to drone on forever. Irma tried things like Buddhist meditation and it brought some peace to her mind, but she found herself still “stuck” with her mind that insisted on being painful and stressed. Prayer didn’t work because she didn’t have faith in God. She thought people at church were also pretending, but she was done pretending.

This meditation simply worked. After 3 sessions, Irma received real, permanent relief from the pain that was her life. With this simple, unassuming method, Irma learned to have faith.

Irma is now paying it forward, helping others achieve their own best positive mind, permanent relief from stress and fears, and loads of joyful living.

Ronan

Las Vegas, Nevada

Ronan began his meditation journey 8 years ago in the Las Vegas center. He missed a meditation seminar at the local library and decided to drive to the center. He came back the next week to sign up and never looked back.

“The introduction and method just made sense,” he says. Growing up in the Midwest he went to church often and heard the bible read many times. He appreciated religion and the feeling that there was something taking care of the world. He could see that religion was speaking of Truth, but it was still waiting for someone to come to bring people to it. He began attending church less and like many focused on his life. Life brought him to Nevada where he got into the service industry.

After starting meditation, he began to lose his self-centered mind and started to really care about people. He states, “What could be better than helping people find Truth within themselves. Now he gives his time to help with our OME programs. His favorite is Kid’s Meditation. “You would be surprised how much kids actually worry about. Even a short meditation session is so effective for them.”

He says: “I truly enjoy my life, my relationships, and my work. Every day I get more happy, relaxed, and effective! I can work much more efficiently than I could in the past. I am able to accept others, and can accept myself as I am. Every day is better than the last, and where I used to feel hopelessness, now I feel a calm certainty that everything will be alright."
