TheNoBullExpress asked:


Is it from a religion? A ‘guru’ ?
Do you have to pay to learn it?
Are the results fairly quick to notice or do they take months to recognize a true change of consciousness

Most importantly:
Have you practiced one yourself (or know someone who has) that their practice of this meditation brought upon a blissful state?

Stefanie asked:


I’ve noticed that in meditation retreats and courses eg. vipassana in western countries there are almost always more women signed up than men. Usually women’s waiting lists are longer and they are filled up first than men’s places. Is this a trend, or do women want to meditate more, or why is this?
