Hi there - I am a survivor of the long dark night of the soul (30 years) largely brought about by my experience with Raja Yoga. I was in a centre for six years and did not always like what I saw and was vocal about it - no need to repeat it because it is documented so well by others. My leaving was not of my choice and I was forced to face the demons within; extreme loneliness, fear, poverty, illness and mental confusion lasted 10 years until I finally sort professional counselling and attended self help groups and this led to a sparking of interest in different religions and spiritual ideas for the past 10 years.
As a result I have found a degree of inner peace and happiness that comes from living in tune with myself but there are aspects of the past that I am still processing. I am here to help resolve the past. I like the fact that we can be open as I feel that true healing results from that. I have chosen to live an isolated life with my partner on a farm far from any centres and see myself as a freelance Brahmin. I have recently started to listen to Murli, along with other teachers of my choice in order to maintain a compassionate balance. I feel that God teaches and connects to us through many different ways and the bottom line is 'does it feel right'. I will continue reading this very interesting website. There are so many experiences from wonderful people and I feel there is a great sense of genuine humanity coming through.
love Shanti -
