Babaji Has Truly Changed My Life, by Ryan, Sugar

While serving in the Marines I was injured and in a “wounded warrior” program. At this time, two kind people came to teach us a simple breath meditation. To rewind a little bit, I have suffered from social and general anxiety most of my life. It caused me to be depressed, lethargic, angry, hateful,and the list goes on. These people came and gave me a preview to what it was to recognize the thought process. I stuck with it for a month or so, and gave it up eventually. But Ill never forget after one session with them, for the first time in my life, I was completely relaxed. Fast forward to a few years later, my life had not gotten any better. I was living off government money, couldnt go to school or get a job due to my severe social anxiety. Life was very hard. The doctor had me on different medications which I did not enjoy taking at all. Eventually I decided there had to be a better way and stopped my meds. So I started youtubing meditation videos, and low and behold I came across a video seminar of Baba’s called “Awaken your inner power”. After watching him talk, everything just seemed to connect and make sense. So I started inhaling every video he had! Later found his website and engaged in some practices of his. I immediately started to notice some subltle changes after learning how to use mantras. It was very difficult at first, but I refused to give up. A few months of practicing on and off, I noticed a trip to Mt. Shasta posted on his site. I felt compelled to go and registered right away. The trip was absolutely beautiful. To see Baba in person, I was in awe. I had some very deep experiences during that trip that were unforgettable. After that trip my life has COMPLETELY turned around. I now have a full time job, just got a raise, go to school full time, and no longer have serious issues with anxiety. More importantly, for the first time in my life I really feel happy and complete. I know that I am on the right path at last, and it is all by Baba’s grace. I continue to practice his teachings and would highly recommend anyone on the fence to not make judgements, or listen to other opinions. Your best bet is to EXPERIENCE your own journey, use the practices, and see what happens. You will not be sorry!
