  • Resumen

  • Nina Sunday shares her transformative experience from attending a 10-day meditation retreat. Initially, Nina was sceptical about the retreat, requiring participants to forgo external stimuli like books and writing materials. However, driven by a challenge to herself, she decided to join a retreat during the Easter break. The retreat involved strict silence and meditation focused on breath awareness. As the days progressed, Nina experienced vivid and surreal dreams, a byproduct of closing off external inputs. Despite some initial misconceptions about achieving enlightenment, she had a profound realization when the retreat master advised her to “remain equanimous” in response to her enthusiastic description of what felt like a mystical experience. Nina later discovered the core lesson of the retreat - to remain equanimous and manage reactions, rather than being driven by immediate emotions. The practice of equanimity helped her avoid knee-jerk reactions to external events, leading to a more reflective and controlled approach to life. The retreat proved to be unexpectedly rewarding. Upon returning home, Nina received a job offer from ABC Television, a significant career opportunity. Nina couldn’t help feeling that by cleaning up her internal ‘’clutter’’, she somehow attracted the job of her dreams. This experience not only highlights the power of personal growth but also demonstrates how stepping out of one's comfort zone can lead to serendipitous outcomes. In summary, Nina reflects on the importance of controlling one's reactions to external events and how this practice of maintaining equanimity has become a lasting and valuable lesson in her life.
