My relationships have been beautifully healed
When I left to attend the Inner Awakening program in March 2013, my husband was enraged that I was leaving my family at time that was quite tumultuous at home. He felt that I was abandoning him and my four children. I left for Bharat in fear. I had always let fear run my life. I returned from Bharat fearless.
My experience at Inner Awakening was the best and most profound of my life - beyond marriage and childbirth. I experienced so many emotional shifts and mystical moments. When I returned back home, I could see that I was much more equipped to handle all situations in my life.
I used to be an angry person who typically saw the downside of situations. But after IA, have gained intense confidence, focus and patience and the ability to consistently be in the positive.
I no longer yelled at my children, and was able to authentically listen to them. My older daughter of 15, who is adopted and never showed me affection, began hugging me and wanting to hang out.
My husband, though still claiming to be upset that I was gone for 24 days, consistently commented on the change in me. In fact, one day he said, "I like you so much more now, I really, really do."
I too am much happier with the new me. I feel so strong and joyful inside.
I should also mention that as a yoga teacher, I am experiencing so much growth since attending my first Inner Awakening. I have been able to enrich my students in a new way, to help them cognize and internalize that life is possibility. Again, it is not a coincidence that my yoga classes are growing.
Expansion brings expansion!!!
I used to feel like a failure. Now I see that I am divine and blessed. I have so much gratitude to Swamiji and THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM sangha!
