Johannes and I just hosted our first Awakin circle (in Austria) yesterday -- a full-moon night! We are so so grateful for all your support.

It was a wonderful experience. My heart was filled with so much love and joy during the whole preparation time as well as the circle itself. I tried to great each new person by internally welcoming them and sending them the love I felt, as they came in, for I was able to tell without looking who it was (we only were 10 people :D). Afterwards my friend told me, how she had planned her meditation technique in advance and was prepared to follow her routine, but then when she entered the room, she said she was overwhelmed by the love she felt and just could not follow the routine she had planned, so she sat there filled with love and joy and for the first time during a meditation she experienced moments where there were no thoughts, just her feeling pure love and being truly present in the moment....goosebumps right?

The second miracle was that half an hour before the circle started another friend called, she was crying, for her aunt was just diagnosed to be in the final stage of cancer she had been fighting for more than two years now. My friend wasn't sure if she would be able to sit for an hour without bursting into tears. We discussed some options but in the end, she decided to be by herself and stay at home. After the circle, the same friend that had planned her meditation routine told me that during the meditation she realized that the pillow next to her was empty and she deeply felt like there was somebody missing. So after her meditation, she sent her love to all her friends and family and also to this "unknown person" who she felt was missing from the cushion next to her .... goosebumps again!!

Before going to bed I wrote a message to my friend who had stayed at home and told her about it. This morning she answered, saying that after we talked she went home and took a long bath and was truly surprised how good she felt after. She said she was not even sad anymore and she went to bed just feeling so much love for her aunt.

Did the moon have something to do with all these wonderful miracles? I don't know but next month we will carry on with holding the space to meditate in our living room. My wonderful friend (the one with the meditation routine) was so touched, she insisted on cooking the food for the next circle, for she truly felt like we should continue holding them on a regular basis.

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to hold an Awakin Circle and what wonderful resonance it had. I still cannot believe that more than half of the attendees even came from Vienna (which is a 2,5 hour drive). I feel so thankful for all these wonderful people making this event so special and especially for my partner Johannes being the best buddy and help at all times. Thank you all!
