Read MoreI know, being at home in front of a screen is convenient and makes you feel "safe". For education you can stay in the comfort of your home, in front of your computer screen, you can wear just pajamas, take as many breaks as you want, poke your nose or whatever.

Read MoreHave you ever noticed that when we spend time with people from another Country, or even another county, our accent changes? Have you ever heard that, after living together for a long time, a couple becomes more alike?

Read MoreTrue meditation is a state of presence. It's not a means to find something, it's more aimless research. Goals pollute research, creates an idea of a false harbour, puts the emphasis on some arrival that does not actually exist, causing the true value of the way to be lost.
