"Meditation has changed my life" says Greek Hotelier
I run a hotel in Kefalonia, Greece and I have been a FISU meditator and meditating for approximately four months, taking my course at one of the Athens centres. My life changed from the 1st day I began meditating. I wanted to learn how to meditate because I knew of its beneficial effects. I have to say that meditating was something I always thought would be so difficult to do. But the FISU techniques are so simple yet tremendously life changing and I am so lucky I found them.. In the four months I have been a part of FISU, I have: 1. Cleared negative blockages which I didn’t even realize I had. As a result I feel a lot more in tune with myself, more relaxed and more self confident.
