I thought to myself, ‘I’m 35 and it seemed as if it were the first time I felt myself breathe, first time I felt the breeze on my skin, the first time I felt the warmth of the sun.’ It was pretty amazing for me. I also felt an inner

calmness, an inner peace within myself — something I haven’t felt to this extent before. I have done some deep meditations before and have felt wonderful but this was different, this went deeper for me.
