清晨，我睜開眼睛看了看鬧鐘，五點二十分，「耶，太棒了！ 」 我的心裡湧起一陣陣舒暢的喜悅。每天早上起床後，看到鬧鐘的時針指向五點，我就感到無比的開心和滿足。
.
讀到這裡，您一定會覺得，我是一個充滿幸福感的人。但從前的我根本不是這樣。從前的我，抑鬱、煩躁、失眠、悲傷，彷彿被困在一個極痛苦的漩渦裡，怎麼都逃不出來…..。
.
未接觸菩提禪修之前，失眠曾經困擾了我很久。那時候，每天晚上睡下之後，凌晨三點就會醒來，醒來後再也無法入睡。早上五點半，我需要起床準備上班，從凌晨三點到五點的這段時間，我就在床上翻來覆去、輾轉難眠。失眠讓我很痛苦，我不知道我為什麼會失眠，我只知道這種痛苦的感覺讓人窒息、讓人絶望。
.
對我來說，人生的痛苦遠遠不止是失眠。打小，抑鬱的情緒一直糾纏著我，最痛苦的時候，我曾經用刀割自己的手臂。那個時候，我不知道自己為什麼會那麼做，只是覺得內心很痛苦。長大後，我知道我患有輕度抑鬱症，儘管我不再有極端的行為了，但是痛苦仍然伴隨著我。我不知道該怎樣向別人傾訴我的苦，也不知道該怎樣給自己的痛苦找一條出路。而唯一的出路和解決方法，就是讓自己忙碌起來。所以我總是讓自己處於忙碌的狀態。我忙於工作、忙於交朋友、健身、跳舞、旅行……
.
我的確能夠從這些娛樂中獲得快樂。
但是快樂非常短暫，當我結束旅行，再回到現實生活中時，我發現我的生活又回到了原來的軌道，我經常一個人哭泣，我覺得自己沒救了，沒有希望了，快樂根本就不屬於我，我已經無能為力了……
.
3月10日的早上，我的心情糟透了，在開車去上班的路上，我覺得呼吸都非常困難，我又陷入跟往常一樣的痛苦之中無法自拔……我已經沒有辦法再繼續這樣的生活，甚至無法忍受這樣的折磨了！我告訴自己，我受夠了，我一定要找個辦法讓自己快樂起來！可是誰又能來救我呢?
.
也許是我內心的呼喚得到了回應，就在那一天的下午，我沒有目標的在街上游走，突然看到一個標語吸引住我：「菩提禪修帶給你健康、快樂。」 「健康、快樂!」，這不就是我一直在尋求的嗎？於是我走進菩提禪堂，並報名了菩提禪修健身班。
.
當上課到了第四天，我覺得自己的眼前變亮了，回到家，更不再像從前那樣總是莫明的想哭。原來，大光明把我的憂鬱症帶走了，我開心得不得了。「健身班」第五天，在修練大光明時，我感覺自己擁抱到了大光明的能量。那天回到家，我把自己所有恨過的人，將她們的照片找了出來，看著那些曾經傷害過自己的人，我發現自己竟然不再恨他們了。看著照片中他們的笑臉，我甚至回憶起跟大伙兒一起時，曾經的快樂時光。
.
當我決定原諒她們的時候，我發現自己真正放下了，我的心變得好輕鬆，歡喜從內心深處升起，一股暖流就這樣將我的憂鬱症給沖散了。
.
現在的我，每天晚上睡得像個嬰兒一樣，很沉，很香甜。
我的睡眠問題奇蹟般的好轉了。自從健身班後，我開始重新面對自己，接受生活給予我的一切，我的心態、心情、想法、以及看問題的角度也都得到了改變，心打開了，我開始發掘生活的意義和美好，學著愛生活，愛自己。我學會了接受和放下，學會了原諒和感恩，也學會了堅強和慈悲。
快樂其實很簡單，感謝禪修讓我學會了感恩，師父的開示，讓我身心受益，我學會了用一種新的態度，看待人生。」
.
喜歡就請分享，動一動你的手指，也許可以為更多還在黑暗中的人們，點燃光明與希望。
多傳多福，快分享這份吉祥吧!!!

Finding back her forgotten self and also happiness in the process
This is the story of Nattalia from New York Meditation Centre. Despite only being in her twenties, she has long suffered from an extreme case of insomnia, which affected her life greatly. I am extremely happy that she has managed to regain her happiness, confidence and health through Bodhi Meditation and I sincerely hope that others like her can find happiness in their lives too.
————————————————————–
At the ring of the alarm clock, I woke up and it was 5.20am. “Great! Great!” I exclaimed inside me with joy. When I wake up every morning and see that the hour hand of the clock points at 5, I will be overjoyed and my heart is filled with a sense of satisfaction and achievement.
At this point of reading, you must be thinking that I am and have been a very happy and blessed person. However, it was not like this before. In the past, I suffered from depression, worries, insomnia, so much sadness that one cannot imagine and I was not able to get myself out of it….
Prior to Bodhi Meditation, I had insomnia for a long time. Every night I would fall asleep till 3 am and thereafter I would toss in bed for almost 2 hours or more and many times not able to get back to sleep. I would stay wide awake till 5.30am where I would need to get ready for work. I was so troubled by insomnia and had the least idea or clue as to why I had to suffer from the pain of inability to sleep. I became depressed and felt helpless as well as hopeless about the state I was in.
My insomnia led to depression. The pain of suffering went beyond imagination that I started to use a blade to cut my wrist. The extreme manifestation of pain and frustration was not something anyone can comprehend and I found no one to confide to. I decided to keep myself busy at all times, may it be at work, social, exercise, dancing, traveling ……..
In the hope that I find happiness through these activities
However the results were not lasting. For instance when traveling was over, reality returned and I went back to my old self where I felt hopeless and would cry for no reasons. Happiness did not belong to me and I was totally helpless…
On the morning of March 10, I was feeling extremely rock bottom and was having difficulty in catching a decent breath. I almost gave up as the pain of suffering was unbearable. At that very moment, I was determined to find a solution to stop the prolonged suffering and I wondered who could really help me?
Maybe my internal calling got me a respond. On that very afternoon, I was drawn to a signage “Bodhi Meditation brings Health and Happiness”
It immediately attracted me to walk towards the Bodhi Meditation Centre to register for the class as I knew Health and Happiness is something I am in search of desperately.
On the 4th day of the class, I felt that my eyes sparkled and brightened. When home, I no longer cry or tear without reason. It came to my realization that the Great Illumination Meditation had helped to remove the depressed feeling and frustration I used to experience for a long period of time. On the 5th day of class, I felt that I have gotten the powerful energy of the Greater Illumination during the practice in class and it overwhelmed me. Upon reaching home that day, I went through the photographs of those people whom I had hurt or been hurt or even once hated, I realized that I no longer had that anger or hatred towards them anymore. In fact, looking at the smiles of their faces in the photographs brought back happy memories of moments I shared with them.
Once I decided to forgive and let bygones be bygones, My heart felt lighter and relaxes. The warmth that followed magically wiped out all feelings of depression bottled all these years in me. I felt relieved instantly and happiness filled my heart.
Now I could sleep soundly like a baby every night with sweet dreams.
The quality of my sleep improved tremendously. After attending the class, I am renewed. I accepted challenges in life with positive strife. My outlook in life, my mood, my thoughts changed for the better and I could be more receptive towards what life presents itself. I learnt to be positive, forgiving, thankful and handled situations and people with more compassion. I love myself and my life.
Being happy is simple. I begin to adopt a new perspective in life. I am thankful to benefit from the teachings of Master Jin.
Hope that my sharing will help everyone out there who may just be looking for that some sparkle of hope.
Please share so that more can benefit. Blessings to all.
