Firstly let me inform you; I do not practice any religion and never disagree with those who do. I subconsciously meditated during the freezing nights in Scotland to help me nod off. I have done a fair bit of travelling and practised many types of meditation. The one that has had the most effect on decision-making has been the Vipassana technique. I have tried to find out where it began and encountered answers such as India, and Tibet among other great countries. I personally believe, through speaking to various monks it originated in Myanmar. It is a strict type of meditation and can be applied at your own pace. To find the answers to your queries. Using the technique has given me the ability to reason before making big decisions in all aspects of my life. I live in Southeast Asia and am fortunate enough to have a Vipassana Temple twenty km from my house. I can visit and stay for 5 -45 days. The food and facilities are great. I decide how much in monetary terms as a donation. The link below will give you complete information. I hope you find what you are looking for and that this can help you on your journey. Enjoy the moment.
