The brain knows how to learn the first time 🧠

Can one event destroy all your beliefs once and for all?

I had just such a moment.

I flew to India to visit our teachers as a total skeptic. I have no meditative practice behind me, but as a doctor of evidence-based medicine, usually with a firm belief that all this is esoteric for people with a tendency to magical thinking.

The day before leaving, I got seriously injured in a competition at a ski camp.

Then, in one of the exercises, where the transfer of the state from an enlightened master takes place, something happened that I could not explain in any way: the physical consequences of the injury simply disappeared. It didn't "become easier" - it completely disappeared.

I still don't know how it works from a physiological point of view. But experience cannot be invisible 😊 What exactly happened to my mind at that moment, and why one episode was enough to change the beliefs I had nurtured for years - I tell you in the post.
