I had joined Meditation at Manasa Foundation a year back and have been meditating regularly since then. Meditation seems to clean me up and makes me a better person. I now avoid excessive food intake and spicy food. I feel more energetic and active. Contentment has established its roots in my mind. Strong desires, habitual worrying, great anger and hatred are things of the past and I quickly move away from strong emotions and I place peace of mind above everything else. Life is more disciplined, with me following a regular routine. I realise that this is just a small step and hope to continue Meditation for the rest of my life. It’s my hope that by meditating regularly and making my mind purer I will experience Samadhi. My purpose is to realise my true Self.

I observed that I am not shaken internally easily. Many things that used to disturb me easily have become like passing clouds. I feel shielded and protected. The practice is constantly uplifting me to deeper levels of Peace.

We all sat to channel Light at Gajanan Maharaj Ashram. Within a minute, I started experiencing amazing Stillness within me. Then I realised that the same Stillness was in everyone and everything around me in that hall. Slowly, I started recognizing Stillness in the whole area, our earth and gradually the whole Universe. The next moment, I was experiencing the Stillness of the whole Universe. This Stillness was so profound, it was complete. This experience of the universal Stillness is still with me after more than two weeks. The moment I think of it, I get connected to it.

I work better now and I am focused. I feel more connected to everything around me. I feel more humble and grateful for being here and able to channel Light and meditate as well as I can.

I had a beautiful experience of Oneness in my sleep, just before waking up. An hour later, the same thing repeated when I was awake.

When I sat down to get initiated into Shambala Meditation, I had a unique experience. I experienced myself sitting in a minaret, (I just knew it was me, and couldn't see any of my features) surrounded by lush green vegetation and flowers, and meditating. It was so beautiful and peaceful. A Divine Lady approached me, and I could only feel her energy (a White Glow) and that she was a female. I could not see her features. She sat next to me and put her hand around my shoulder and hugged me like a mother would. I felt a sudden rush of Energy and Love transferred into me. This is a more than a month-old event, yet when I write about it, it is fresh and full of Divinity. The Love I felt is still fresh.
