For two years I had been suffering with anxiety attacks so badly that some days I couldn't even sleep, and it was really ruining my life. I hated pills and doctors, so I thought it would never go away.
I had the most amazing healing experience the first time I ever met Swamiji in 2007 at a meditation workshop. It changed my life.
Here’s what happened:
When Swamiji was concluding the meditation workshop, he told everyone something like “Now the workshop is over … I bless you all…”
I was sitting near the front row, and suddenly felt a huge white light inside my heart, glowing and expanding through my whole body. My whole body started buzzing and it was the most profound, loving, joyful feeling I had ever felt.
It was so intense that joyful, healing tears were streaming down my face, and I instantly knew in that moment I was permanently healed. The instant healing that happened was real, and since then the anxiety has never returned.
But that’s not the end of the story!
In the moment while I was having this profound experience of healing, my skeptical mind was trying to fight it. I thought to myself, “What is this feeling, this can’t be real, maybe somebody put drugs in my lunch at the hotel.”
Then I turned my head around to look at the other 50-100 participants in the hall for the meditation program, and on all their faces I saw the same expression that was on mine!! They all had huge smiles and tears of joy and healing pouring out of their eyes.
That’s when my logic just snapped, because I realized that whatever Swamiji just did to me while he was sitting there on stage, he simultaneously did to the other people in the room. That’s the exact moment I was reborn, because I realized that magic truly exists in this world.
