Teach, Learn, Share

I recommend VIPASSANA www.dhamma.org the oldest meditation technique teached by Buddha. To be at least experienced once in life for opening our heart and our mind to the divine and be more focused in the PRESENT TIME...
The past gives you an identity, the future holds a promise of fulfillment. Both are illusions. The more you are focused on time - past and future - the more you miss the NOW. Suffering needs time, it cannot survive in the now ! (Eckart Tolle- The power of now)

Kundalini yoga (teached by yogi bagan) is a very simple technique to reach happiness by feeling the positive universal energy we have in big quantity in the cosmos.

Ayurveda is a magic natural medicine applied by Indians for more than 2'000 years. Compared to our modern medicine that is only 400 years old and effects on our bodies superficially, ayurveda finds the root of the disease and cures it... very strange that the human being has forgotten what is good for himself...
