Feeling the Magic

I did the Yes+ course 5 years back, after a good 3 years of persistent insistence from my best friend. To give you a general idea about the kind of person I used to be; I was cynical and rigid. I expected the worst from people and situations. I always doubted my abilities, and assumed that things will not work out. I approached any task with intense anxiety, thereby clouding my ability to think clearly. My mind was restless and in a state of chaos, and I spent a larger part of my life feeling depressed and suicidal.

And then I experienced something truly magical. After I started practising the Sudarshan Kriya, something in me changed. I wouldn’t say my life instantly turned around, but a very gradual but steady process started taking place. I started developing clarity in my mind. It became easier to be spontaneous and take steps I usually wouldn’t, without worrying too much. I went from being a very confused person to being very decisive. The positive outcomes of these decisions reinforced my belief in myself and the negative ones reminded me that I can deal with anything that comes my way. My anxiety about tasks and situations reduced significantly. When I do something, I can be fully present to it and once it’s done, I can snap out of it, as a result of which I can do multiple things in my day with equal efficiency.

I started connecting with people more intimately, without getting overly attached. It became easier to let go of things that didn’t matter, and deal with difficult people and situations without losing my temper. My life has taken such immensely exciting turns that I never thought would be possible. At this point, I feel Blessed for how wonderful my life has become. It’s not that everything is or has been a bed of roses, but now I know that even if things take a turn for the worse, I will be able to deal with it and get past it. I have the faith and courage to sail through rough seas. My life didn’t flip instantly, but it has turned completely around over the last five years. It has taken a positive turn. I don’t know how Guruji made this happen, but I do know that it all started happening after He came into my life. The Sudarshan Kriya is magical for me. I feel the magic in my life each and every day. And I pray wholeheartedly that everyone gets blessed with a life as fulfilling as I have been!!

Jai Gurudev!!!
