How it all began (Excerpt from My Inner House)
I think of myself as an Oxonian from Venezuela as I have lived in Oxford, longer than I have lived in my homeland.
I first came to England on a grant from the Venezuelan government to pursue post-graduate studies in Education and Psychology,
The practice of meditation makes us more observant, more contemplative, more connected to our inner self, as well as to the whole. Therefore, more connected to Nature and more appreciative of its beauty.
Nature is, to me, the teacher par excellence; whenever I pay attention, I find that Nature has a message in the form of a lesson that teaches me something about life or about myself.
