There is no right or wrong way to tell your story. There's no minimum or maximum word limit, and you don't have to write like Shakespeare. Just tell your story in whatever way comes naturally to you.


Your Meditation Stories - Christopher's Meditation Story

We believe that the simple truth of a personal story is the most powerful and the most real way to show other people what meditation is all about. Your story might inspire someone to start meditating, and who knows where the benefits of that will lead? Your words may heal a broken heart, they might heal a disease, they might restore a relationship or perhaps they will finally bring peace to a troubled soul.

So if meditation has helped YOU find peace, then why not help others find peace. Tell your own meditation story and enjoy the reward of gratitude, a sense of fulfillment and joy that comes from knowing that you are helping others.
