The first 7-Day Stress Relief Class was held in October 2018. This gave those who work 9-5 an opportunity to practice daily for 7 days. They were able to increase their energy and thereby gain more wisdom and clarity, ease aches and pains, and improve their sleep. Here is some of what they had to say on the last day:
Owen: I doubted coming, but of course I showed up. I’ve had lower back issues and fear patterns from childhood that finally came up for release. It was quite painful but the beauty of the retreat is I felt it transmuting the whole week. I’m really grateful.
Sandy: I’ve been on a few retreats since January 2018. This week went by so fast. One thing that amazes me is all the different stories and backgrounds we come from and that we can all be together and just be. Bodhi Meditation is such a safe place to be. I received lots of tools to help me.
Gordon: I came into this retreat without expectation or judgment, because I didn’t really understand meditation. I never had a problem with sleep but found that during the retreat my sleep is more solid and I go from sleep to brightly awake. I also have more energy. My challenge now is how to continue this. I would definitely like to come to Bodhi Meditation more often. I really enjoyed the class and what Master JinBodhi shared with us through his teachings. And I appreciate all of your time.
Marion: I was encouraged by my colleague to come to the retreat. I had a kidney transplant recently and she suggested Bodhi Meditation. I thought the stress release would be good. I had a head injury from an assault that created some damage. I had a clear mind on the journey home last night.
Lenutza: I attended this retreat thinking it would bring consistency and make meditation become second nature. So I would practice on a daily basis and in this way get the rewards. I feel it’s very important to keep practicing and notice the results from the consistency. This week, as the weather got colder, I felt the distress from the cold. Usually, it is hard for me to get the right amount of layers to keep warm enough to enjoy nature, but this week I realized I had more energy and optimism so the weather did not bother me so much. I feel this is a real energy level change for me.
Eddy: I joined the retreat to get more energy. On Monday I felt lots of energy. I haven’t felt like that for a long time. I have severe discomfort with my stomach am in the medical testing process. The first few days I struggled through The Meditation of Greater Illumination, but afterwards more energy emerged. I had to miss a couple of days because of work and almost skipped a class but decided to come and was very pleased and felt the benefit. I stayed for Energy Bagua, which I really enjoyed. Master JinBodhi joined my Energy Bagua circle, walking in the inner circle, and when he passed by me I felt energy like a transformer, so strong. Another day, Master JinBodhi was at the gift shop and we had an opportunity to joke together. I have discernment and so far as I can see, Master JinBodhi is someone really special – humble, spontaneous. That’s why I keep coming back. I have been to many places and have rarely seen this energy. He’s very special. This is a truly beneficial community.
Lynda: This is my first meditation retreat. I experienced subtle changes. My senses of taste and sight are both improving. I really enjoyed that.
