Some years ago I started meditating. I began, motivated by the health effects of meditation. Mostly, I had trouble controlling my impulses.

It did wonders.

However, My efforts and motivations began to change into an introspective approach to understand consciousness and the state of being. I did not have anything in the way of anyone that personally could help me. Just a bunch of apps.

But alas, my efforts were abandoned because of some massive changes in my life.

I still don't have anyone that personally guides me, but I began again. I mostly want to take it as far as "Waking Up" app by Sam Harris can take me, and then find my own path afterward.

Just a couple of weeks of practice and I feel being calmer and having some realizations about the nature of being.
