Reconnected with deepest values and who I want to be
Through Vishen's 7 States lectures, she rediscovered her deepest values and embraced practices of gratitude and meditation. The daily sessions lifted her mood and reinforced her belief that self-care serves the greater good.
I really enjoyed the 7 states lectures with Vishen in December. The lectures put me in a wonderful mood each day, and helped remind me of my deepest values and who and how I want to be in the world. I really appreciated the reminder that the belief in a benevolent universe would help me be happier, as will a consistent gratitude practice and meditation practice. One question that comes to my mind that feels unsolved is why do bad things happen to good people, and to innocent children? It doesn't seem right that a benevolent universe would have such bad things happen to sweet innocent children. I do believe that me taking care of myself serves the world well, though, so I love that idea. Thank you for your time and wisdom, Vishen! <3
