Earlier this year, something shifted. I came across Monk Choo on TikTok speaking about suffering. At first, I only observed from a distance. But something about his words resonated deeply. For the first time, I felt like I was hearing answers to the very questions I had carried for years. Ever since I was a child, my mind was a very dark place. I grew up in an abusive and emotionally toxic home, where my parents were unable to care for me. At 16, I left and joined a cult with my uncle—going, in many ways, from the frying pan into the fire. As a result, I spent years unable to cope with life, my emotions, or my reactions. I was constantly on edge—like a spring-loaded coil, ready to snap at any moment. I lived in a state of anxiety, anger, and confusion, with no real sense of direction or control. From the outside, my life looked successful. I achieved academically, built a career, and created a life that seemed complete—a beautiful home, a loving husband, stability. But internally, I was falling apart. I was in a constant cycle of self-destruction, struggling with anxiety, anger, and depression. I knew something was missing, but I had no idea what it was or where to find it. Moving to Colombia marked the beginning of change, but it didn’t fill that emptiness. No matter what I changed externally, that feeling stayed with me. Earlier this year, something shifted. I came across Monk Choo on TikTok speaking about suffering. At first, I only observed from a distance. But something about his words resonated deeply. For the first time, I felt like I was hearing answers to the very questions I had carried for years. I began asking questions—constantly, intensely—trying to understand everything at once. And yet, he remained patient and calm. Eventually, I ran out of questions. That was the turning point. I realised I didn’t need to keep searching outward—I needed to start listening. Through meditation and the practice of the Dhammapada, everything began to change. Not overnight, but steadily and deeply. I learned to observe my thoughts instead of being controlled by them. I learned to sit with discomfort instead of reacting impulsively. The anger that once defined me began to fade. For the first time in my life, I understand myself. I can regulate my emotions. I am no longer trapped in anxiety or negativity. Situations that once overwhelmed me no longer have the same power. There is space now—where there used to be chaos. Meditation didn’t make my life perfect, but it gave me something far more valuable: clarity, calm, and a sense of freedom within my own mind. I didn’t change my life—I changed how I relate to it. And that changed everything.

Meditation didn't change my life from the outside, it changed how I see it from the inside. Today, I am a much happier person, not because everything is perfect but rather because I now have the tools to enjoy the journey. Hi everyone, my name is Emma, and I've recently discovered that the most interesting journey doesn't require a suitcase, just a breath - and that to feel free you don't need to run away, all you need is a cushion. May I share with you my beautiful experience and my story ? Once upon a time, there was a Collector of Horizons. That collector was me. I lived with the idea that happiness and serenity were something I'd have reached if I had done everything properly, job, duties, responsibilities. Well, so why happiness and serenity were always one step ahead ? What was that sense of restlessness and sadness I felt inside ? Maybe because - but this is something I realized only recently - I was running so fast that I didn't notice the flowers under my feets or the weights I was carrying on my shoulders. One cold January evening I was scrolling Tik Tok when a smiling Buddhist Monk in his shining orange robe appeared. He was Monk Choo and he was talking with the people joining his Mindful Relaxation Community. What immediately caught my attention was not only the contents of what he was saying but how he was communicating, showing that profound messages can still be delivered with a light touch. From that day, I started following him and his guided meditation sessions. The most beautiful journey of my life began right there. The first time I meditated I didn't know what to expect, actually I had no expectations at all (and that was the secret, I would come to understand later). But then, something amazing happened. During my first two sessions I received a precious, huge gift. I don't know where it came from but for the first time in years, or I should say for the first time, I felt a pure, healing, sense of happiness. I was finally home, not a house made of bricks but a place inside me where everything was peaceful and safe. It was a feeling I will never forget and that moved me to tears of joy. In the following days, I found myself smiling for no (apparent) reason and, even most surprisingly, I began to receive unexpected random acts of kindness and big smiles from people around me. Kindness and compassion were in the air and, like Monk Choo told me once "people with good energy will attract good people and good things into their lives. You are experiencing it". Over time, and after many more meditation sessions , I've realized a few things. When we meditate we should have no expectations, not all sessions are the same, sometimes the path may be more difficult, others we will receive unexpected gifts, because meditation is not a magic trick, it's practice. When we practice loving-kindness meditation we're making a space for ourselves and as time goes by you'll realize your mindset is positively changing. Meditation didn't change my life from the outside, it changed how I see it from the inside. Today, I am a much happier person, not because everything is perfect but rather because I now have the tools to enjoy the journey. So if you try to meditate and the magic doesn't happen right away, don't stop. Keep sitting, keep breathing. Happiness isn't just a stroke of luck, it's a home you build inside yourself, every single day. I also want to share how grateful I am for Monk Choo guidance. He leads our meditation with such patience and kindness. His way of teaching is truly inspiring because he doesn't just show us how to meditate but he shares a way of living with more awareness. As he recently told us during the live " No need to look for the horizon outside, all the sky you seek is already within you"

Dealing with so many things in my life, I totally lost the peace that I ever had. Scrolling through TikTok one day, I saw a flash of orange, then I scrolled back and saw Monk Choo sitting there, talking. My first thought was, " Why is he sitting there in a towel? Quickly moving past that, I realized he was a monk. I just listened to what he was saying. Most importantly, I've learned that peace comes from within. "Forget your past." Absorbing that word, I can finally move forward. I have fully found my peace again. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Monk Choo. I'm grateful.

Words can hardly capture the profound impact this teacher has had on my life. For a long time, I felt lost in the noise of overthinking and the heavy weight of analysis paralysis. Through his meditations, he didn’t just teach me to sit in silence; he taught me how to find my center and rediscover my own voice and creativity. By helping me calm the storm of my thoughts, he gave me the space to finally hear the answers and solutions I had been searching for all along.What sets him apart is his common-sense approach. He remains a pillar of peace and steady calm, demonstrating through his very presence that the world can be a safe and gentle place. As a woman, his presence has been deeply healing—he is a living reminder that there are men who make this world feel secure and sacred.His smile is as warm as a sunrise, and his laughter is as refreshing as a babbling brook. While he may never fully realize the depth of what his devotion has done for me, I know the best way to honor him is to live his teachings every day. I am learning that if I want to see change in this world, it must begin with me. I am endlessly grateful for this path and for such a compassionate guide.
