    I have just finished Gurumayi’s instructions on posture and breathing. My body feels great! My mind is calm like a deep ocean, and my emotions are in harmony.

    I can feel how I can breathe more freely and deeply, and how this calms my mind. The interplay between breathing and thoughts, thoughts and breathing, is now becoming really clear to me and gives me another valuable tool to calm my thoughts so that I can experience inner stillness and bliss.

    I always love the softness and gentleness of the Preparation for Sweet Surprise . No matter how many times over the years I have listened to the webcast and sat for meditation, I still love the supportive instructions of focusing on the tiny adjustments of the body and the awareness of the energy arising.
     
    I feel that every element on the Siddha Yoga path website is filled with Gurumayi’s grace.
