I'm leaving and I'm never coming back.....the same

I leave early tomorrow morning for a 10-day meditation
retreat where I will spend the 11 hours of each day in
silence. There is to be no talking, no reading, no writing,
no eye contact, and no yoga (but I hear they party like
rockstars...haha).

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous.

Actually, scratch that. I'm very nervous.

As I've said before, I am not an inherently quiet person.
In fact, the memory that continues to pop into my mind
is of me as a teenager when the doctor diagnosed me with
ADD because I couldn't sit still and focus. For many years
of my life, just the thought of meditation made me antsy.

But then I realized that the external world was controlling
me and it was time for a change. Despite the fact that it
was difficult at first, I re-learned how to meditate and my
world shifted. It became easier for me to slow down, take
my time, be patient, allow things to unfold organically,
and most importantly, sit still.

Obviously the benefits of meditation have had a deep and
powerful impact on me because I decided to devote my
entire life to inspiring people to get selfcentered.

That said, ten days sounds like a really long time and
eleven hours per day sounds pretty darn intimidating. So
wish me luck, send me good vibes, and keep doing your
thing. When I get back, I'm sure I'll have some good
stories to share.

While I'm gone, you'll be hearing from one of our master
teachers, Russell Feingold, who co-facilitates the Out of
Your Mind Immersions and Awareness Architect
Trainings with me. He's a deep soul with an amazing
wealth of experience and a huge heart....so make sure to
soak up his energy. He's great!!

One last thing. In my previous letter, I shared with you that
we're making some changes in selfcentered by shifting into
a community focus. What this means is that we are going
to create the strongest, coolest, most unified meditation
tribe the world has ever seen.

To put this idea in motion, we are offering you the
opportunity to bring a friend FOR FREE to the next Out
of Your Mind Immersion at the end of November. We only
have 4 spots left with this offer so contact us ASAP to
register and join the tribe.
