My name is Sam, and I’ve been part of the FISU family for nearly 20 years. My journey with meditation began after my father’s sudden passing in 2008. At the time, I was in my mid-twenties, struggling to take responsibility amidst financial and emotional challenges with my brother and my disabled mother.
A friend suggested FISU Meditation, and it transformed my life. Through its personalized approach and my teacher’s warmth, care, and clarity, I found light in the darkness. By completing the course, I gained strength, balance, and a sense of family within the FISU community led by Jasmini and Rajesh Ananda.
Meditation became a cornerstone of my life, enabling me to manage work, care for my mother, and face challenges with resilience. It even led me to meet my wife, Pilvi, during a FISU event. Despite the challenges of moving to Finland—adapting to a new culture and language—meditation helped me thrive.
FISU gave me the tools to handle life with strength and joy. If my story resonates with you, I urge you to try meditation. You won’t regret it.
