Practicing “Assurance in Being” was absolutely amazing! I love Lord Ganesh and feel this exercise brought him right into my heart.
I am newly divorced and still have much to do to create my new life. This mudra is going to be a daily practice for me. I feel empowered, kind, calm and with all my energies balanced. When I finished listening to the audio version and heard Gurumayi's words,"You are good to go," I felt them in the core of my being. I now know I can create this new chapter in my life— with Gurumayi's shakti permeating my being.
With hands together and over my heart, I bow with gratitude and love.

It was not easy for me to follow “Gurumayi's Guidance” initially, and I didn't feel good about this. The next day in meditation, I saw myself on the shore of an ocean. It was a sunny day, and waves were lapping at the shore. Gurumayi, Baba, and Bade Baba came into view, and walked right up to me.
Each one of them embraced me in their own way—Baba smiling and laughing and giving me a loving pat on the back, Bade Baba simply laughing, laughing, laughing, and Gurumayi laughing and holding my hands as we twirled around together. We were all ecstatic. They were right there in my heart.
Tears of love came to my eyes. The Guru's grace is always present, even when I feel I am not doing a good job.

Gurumayi's Guidance entitled “Assurance in Being” was so timely for me! More often than not, I carry a heavy feeling on my shoulders when I have deadlines to meet; this results in stiffness and pain between my shoulders and at the back of my neck.
This timely exercise has worked magic on me. After practicing it, I immediately feel the tension subsiding as the stiffness and pain disappear, my mind relaxes, and the breath eases. I am able to pause and feel refreshed again, and my “confidence, conviction, and clarity” return.

I am so grateful to Gurumayi for her guidance on “Assurance of Being.”
I was amazed at the power that just ten minutes of practicing the ganesha mudra, raising my arms, and stamping my feet had on me. The heat in my palms was tremendous and the blessed energy flowing through and down my body was unexpectedly strong. The feeling of strength, of being grounded in my own Self, now accompanies me during the day, allowing me to face different situations with harmony.

When I woke up yesterday, I was not in a good state. In addition to having an apparently challenging work-related task, I had little time to complete it. I woke up wondering how I would complete the task in such a short time. I did not know where to start.
I then decided to read “Gurumayi’s Guidance” first to prepare for it before I would actually do it. Immediately after I read “Assurance in Being,” my inner state shifted. I took a shower, organized my working area, and felt upbeat and confident that I could do the work. I was surprised by the way Gurumayi’s words had such an immediate effect on me. Needless to say, I became eager to listen to the recording and follow Gurumayi’s instructions. The task I had to complete turned out to be a great success, and everything worked out really well. I feel so blessed and protected. I know I am not alone.
