I was skeptical about meditation when I first heard about it – I had always imagined it as a practice reserved for people more ‘spiritual’ than me, but Jillian and Michael immediately put my fears to rest and explained it as a very practical and effortless thing to do every day, which anyone could easily learn to improve both their emotional and physical well being, with immediate effect. I found both Jillian and Michael extremely thorough in their teaching and felt I could rely on them if I needed to ask questions in between seeing them for classes/courses.
I felt the effects quicker than I even could have hoped, and found myself on a much more even keel after only a few days of meditation. For the first time in my life I felt like I’d been given a tool which I could use without help from anyone, and which day-by-day made me feel increasingly less neurotic, less frenetic and altogether much more able to deal with the demands of life. After two and a half years of meditation (and having never before stuck to anything – yoga etc etc), I genuinely can say I feel like a different person to my pre-meditation self, and though the every day benefits are now more subtle, I feel so much calmer in general, and I only have to miss a couple of meditations to remember what life was like before. I won’t be going back there! And have also found the additional courses, like the rounding retreat, a great help in deepening my knowledge and understanding of the practice.
