When I entered the grounds of the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Boston to attend a Muktananda Dhyana Saptah, I immediately experienced a shimmering energy. The meditation sessions were delicious. It felt like I was in a room filled with vibrating love. I could feel subtle vibrations loosening and purifying clumps of dark energy within me. Each meditation session flowed easily into the next. Maintaining silence let me stay closer to that expanse of vibration that I experience as love, a form of unity with all around me.
I am grateful to Gurumayi for providing this perfect experience for us to imbibe the teachings.

Last year I participated in a Muktananda Dhyana Saptah at the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Boston. I felt fully engaged in each element of the one-day retreat: chanting the mantra, meditating, and observing the practice of silence. The next day I was in awe at how I perceived the world around me. Everything was scintillating with renewed light and beauty. I delighted in a profound experience of purity and lightness in my being.
After bathing in this sacred river of the Muktananda Dhyana Saptah, I felt rejuvenated, and wondered at the sense of freshness permeating my being. I now plan my schedule to make this a yearly practice so that I can continue to immerse myself in the gift of this silent meditation retreat.
