Let’s hear a fresh Testimonial from our Halton Sahaja Yoga classes about the Healing Power of Sahaja Yoga Meditation from one that had a very bad depression and anxiety for a long time

It’s important to observe that a Mom’s depression and anxiety started when she was a teenager, and realize How important is to start from our Youth taking care of the mental and emotional health, and not focus only on the physical health!

You might want to pay attention to this Testimonial as it is on one hand, unfortunately a common story, and on the other hand, fortunately one can end up with a New Beginning.

This article is based on the transcript of an Audio testimonial received towards the end of our first “Heal Your Heart with Meditation and Art” workshop from a Mom who came to help her daughter that volunteered with our 100 Seeds of Joy team

It’s time to start listening and feeling One’s Heart opening up to share Her Story

“Okay. So this is my first time with a meditation with 100 seeds of joy. 

So when I came here, I didn’t expect that I would get this vibe or like whatever I’m feeling now. 

The backstory is I had a very bad depression when I was in my 12th grade for a whole year, a lot of things like and after that, I was literally scared to go get into the dark space.“

“  I was scared to be alone. I was always thinking whether it will come back or I will go to the dark space and everything else.

This is what was happening for a long time.

And recently for a couple of years back, it stroked again. I don’t know what triggered it, but it stroked again and I was feeling very low.

I had like sleepless nights for a year.

I started my anxiety and depression medication ..

I’m still on medication with sleeping pills. Without the sleeping pills, I cannot sleep.”

Sleeplessness, Anxiety, Fear, Depression?! Sounds familiar?! This is the Reality for too many!

“My voice all in my head, it is always loud.

I have never found a place where I could shut that up and just enjoy the present.

Like always I get a complaint from my husband or the kids, ‘Mom, just be here!‘

Or my husband saying like, ‘You have to be here at the present’. 

I was never able to do it.

“Sometimes I thought like, ‘this is me. This is how it’s going to be.‘

But after coming to the meditation, I was like, I don’t know, this time, for the first time in years,

I felt a calm. peacefulness in my mind that I didn’t hear the voice at all about anything else

for a while!

I’m really thankful for it because it has never happened to me before.

And this thing is like, I don’t know, it’s like, it brings me a lot of Joy. “

Like I thought like there is no hope for all those things in my life.

This is how it’s going to be. Maybe because of my medical condition or this, that.

I was trying to accept it for a long time. Now I hope that I don’t have to live with that.

I can still be happy, calm, and I can get there.

This (meditation) program has been given me a lot of hope now. These are just happy tears.

Yeah, I’m not sad anymore. I feel there is a light. I can see that. 

So this is the path I found. And I love this. I’ll be keep on doing this. Yeah.“

Did you know?! Recently Deepthi shared with us even better news:

She continues feeling really good after participating until now in about four or five weekly classes and events we offer in Burlington and Oakville; even more, she is sleeping well without medication (she felt like stop taking it right after joining the Healing your Heart with Meditation event at the Orchard Hub).

It gives us joy to receive such Testimonials that prove that our Joy Cultivators that volunteer and keep alive our 100 Seeds of Joy community initiative are planting good seeds that sprout into sustainable joy and inner peace for people that attend our free meditation workshops.

We will share with You two quotes from the teachings of the founder of Sahaja Yoga meditation:

 “It’s really worth seeing how we become so much adaptable, so much silent and happy people, when our attention becomes collectively conscious (with sahaja yoga meditation), because that’s the real source of joy.

The greatest quality of the spirit is that you’re pure joy.

We talk of unhappiness and happiness, sorrow and ecstasy and all these words.

But joy is pure, it hasn’t got the duality, it’s one, single, absolute.”

Let’s absorb the second Quote of Wisdom from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

“So the attention first is nothing, but (through the practice of this meditation) starts achieving the Truth.

You see the truth, the knowledge – that’s the gift of the brain – is the central  path as I can say, the Awareness.

Then you feel your ‘chitta’, your attention which is enlightened, and you’re blasted with it.

You see the miracles happening, “That’s happening…” you are just blasted.

Then the third thing happens; is the joy: that you are in joy all the time.“

Anything in the world will not be that much joy-giving as this  joy of the Spirit which you become. You never feel lonely, you are never bored.

Whether you are alone or with anyone, you are in joy.

One should understand that if you get your Self-realization or if somebody says that they are giving you some positive lines, you should know, ‘Are you peaceful within you? Are you joy?‘

Forget about the collective consciousness, is your health all right? That’s the minimum of minimum. The whole system changes.“

Those quotes are from the Lecture provided by Shri Mataji during the Public Program offered on October 7, 1981 at the Unity of Houston Church in Houston, USA

We hope that we chose them well to explain in a way the amazing experience shared in the testimonial, as well the actual joy experienced by Halton’s 100 Seeds of Joy volunteers.
