How I came to this
When I was younger I spent a lot of time outside playing, 
spending time in the woods near our house, riding horses, etc.  
After my family moved house I started to spend less time outside and more with friends watching TV, 
going to the cinema, etc. 
By around 16 this then developed to spending more time in pubs with friends and less time outside!

After a couple of years I began to realise the futility of this, 
and started to ask questions about why we are here, what's the purpose of life, etc. 
I started meditating, practicing yoga and reading loads of books!

Meditation caused me to give up bad habits such as smoking. 
I trained in Reiki 1 and started to use this on myself and my pets, which had some great results. 
After a number of years my work life took over and I gradually stopped meditating, etc, 
which, in hindsight, gave me a nice comparison between the two.  
During this time I explored other areas like survival, wilderness living, organic growing, 
different ways of living, etc.  
Then a couple of years ago I started TM,
 and a while later discovered the Ringing Cedars series, 
which brought all of these strands together.  

The Ringing Cedars series has brought with it many answers and helped me to gain a lot of clarity.  For me now is the time to stop thinking about a different way of life and to start living it.
