How did you get you started in mindful living?

I started my mindfulness journey pretty early on, as I was studying psychology in uni and had some exposure to meditation since young. But honestly, I always hated it. Couldn't see how it helped.

Interestingly, in 2022 when I had covid for the first time, I realised I had to come face to face with my fears and with myself, every single day. It was honestly painful. I'm so thankful though, that while being sick, I also had some spare time to watch YouTube videos and I came across a monk named Nick Keomahavong and he introduced Pa Pae meditation retreat, a centre located at Chiang Mai and Koh Samui. After I recovered, I immediately felt the urge to book a flight there, and I did. It brought me deeper into my inner world and I'm always thankful things happened the way it did

And this is how my mindfulness/meditation journey started :) going deeper into Buddhism teachings was definitely something I benefited from as well through the process and I never look back since.

Thank you for doing what you're doing, Erin! Our world needs more of this. :)
