Hi Sophie,

Thank-you for your question. In my experience, calmness, as a state of being is arrived at in a variety of ways. Whether the effects are temporary or fleeting is not reflective of the meditation itself. Rather is reflective of a person’s mental, emotional and physical states of well-being and how one approaches life and its challenges.

Meditation is a tool for people to access a state of being. Whether an individual anchors in this feeling will be largely dependent on the individual themselves. I personally, in teaching others, have watched students transform with regular practice and discipline. Their journey included changing their diets, health habits, removing physical stresses, releasing toxic relationships, learning to set boundaries, giving up violent TV programming etc. By all of these behavior changes students created a lifestyle with more access to feeling calm.

I have spoken with a lot of healers and they say that the effects are very temporary and fleeting. Is that your experience? I am not talking about your own experience, you may have a higher vibration than most, but of the people who follow your instructions?

I would really like to know.

Thank you
