True and lasting happiness is not distant." It is within us; we must just allow oneself to sit still, to let go of all thoughts and be quiet in the present moment.”Meditation is the path to bring us to true happiness and stillness is the key to success.Practice to reach true happiness. We must allow our mind back to ourselves in its own place. We can find the source of happiness in the centre of our body, about the end of our deep breath. It is our body’s centre of gravity, the balancing point between mind and body, found exactly above the navel level, two finger widths. When the peaceful point is activated or connected the practitioner will be able to reach the source of happiness.

Hosting the full day meditation retreat, I invite you to join me on this beautiful journey towards inner peace. Together, let's create ripples of tranquility that will transcend borders and unite hearts. Imagine a million meditators, one million souls coming together, synchronizing their vibrations, and radiating positive energy simultaneously. Together, we can create a symphony of serenity, a ripple effect that will transcend borders and touch hearts.

It's time to awaken the power within us, to bring forth a wave of peace that will reverberate across the globe. Let's open our hearts, expand our consciousness, and be the change we wish to see in the world. My name is Chollanart, I invite you to join me on a transformative journey towards World peace through the power of meditation.

Through this full day meditation retreat, let's ignite awareness and cultivate the harmony within. Quiet your mind, unleash the power of stillness, and discover the endless well of peace that resides in every corner of your being.
