Today was Darshan and before we started Ramona asked me: “What do you like more, when there are many new people or when everybody has already been to a Darshan before?” I replied that it didn’t really matter, I enjoy it anyway. And it is true, I enjoy it in any way but today there was a group of people who all have participated in this meditation before and I found it very nice.
After the meditation I told about this conversation with Ramona and I said to the group: “Today I enjoyed it very much. Now I would like to change my answer a little bit. It is very good if the whole group has experienced this meditation before. I do not have to talk much. With new people I need to explain the concept of Darshan and bring their consciousness into that state in which they can open their heart more. But when everybody knows what they can expect, everybody is ready and can directly enter into the state of consciousness in which there is no ego and no hesitation to express emotions and feelings.”
I could see and feel how everybody was able to open the heart and to express what is deep inside. So it is wonderful to have a meditation with people who have been there before but it is also always great to explain the idea of Darshan to new people which often makes them come again.
After the meditation our friend Uli stayed for dinner and we had a nice evening with ice cream even though it is so cold outside.

I am confused about meditation. I have tried before without guidance trying to free my mind and sit quietly and, almost let it travel somewhere… But instead I became so relaxed with my empty mind that I fell asleep right away! I think I must have been going about it the wrong way. Do you think it is possible to meditate without guidance?
