Heaven’s Formula For Saving The World
It’s been a pleasure from the beginning to experience this meditation. The reason I came to the center was because I was having trouble sleeping, anxiety attacks, and depression. My life felt like it was coming to an end and every day I felt worse and worse. I lived just to live, afraid of the future and the present; I was feared in my own home by my roommate and son because I would always come home angry all of the time. I did not feel like speaking with anyone and everything bothered me. My son would ask me a question and I did not have the patience to deal with it or with him and would break down and cry because my expectations were so high for him. I wanted him to do everything I wanted at that very moment with no questions asked. I felt lifeless body going through my every day routine only because I knew that’s what I had to do. On my days off I would only want to sleep to avoid feeling isolated and depressed. I tried going to the spa and the church, and therapy would help for a short while then I... View Article
Early on, my mind was full of fear, pain, and uncertainty. As a teenager, I sought answers and freedom from these feelings by rebelling, quitting school, and starting a job. At first, I got into trouble often and even almost died in an accident. Later, I pursued success, money, fame, respect, and admiration. Everything ended in failure, though. Debt was the only thing I had left, but worse than that, I was just as fearful as before. So I moved to Chicago for a new beginning and continued the search for anything that might help me out of my misery. Books, seminars, and religions taught me a lot. However, they were only transient motivations – only abstract concepts in my head – that I could never apply. This pushed me deeper into depression and anxiety that no medicine or doctor could fix. I had nowhere else to go and was exhausted from searching without results. For some time, I wallowed in my depression, feeling sorry for myself, until I decided to go out for a walk one night. While window-shopping, a young woman approached me and handed me a this meditation brochure. Upon reading it, I decided to go to the... View Article
I used to live in total darkness. Both of my past and future distressed me. Unnecessary and negative thoughts filled my mind and led me to a life filled with stress, fear, insecurity, and a lack of confidence in myself and in my surroundings. I lost all enthusiasm for life and was trapped in a deep depression. My physical health also continued to deteriorate. I found this meditation at the end of 2010. It has taught me a simple, easy, accessible, and understandable method to completely remove, from my mind, all these absurd thoughts and beliefs that prevented me from seeing and knowing the Truth. It was because I had been trapped in an illusory, unreal, untrue world. My health has greatly improved. The changes in my habits have improved the standard of my life. My family and personal relationships became more fulfilling and positive without criticism. When others ask me my favor, I can support them in a selfless and altruistic way. Now, I know how to appreciate and really understand them. I carry out my work more accurately; I have more focus and energy, which brings me better results. This Method of emptying out the mind has taught me... View Article
Before I started this meditation I was unhappy with life and the world and the people in it but I didn’t have any answers as to why this was. I have a good wife, 3 lovely children, a nice house, and a nice car. I have always wanted to work for myself because I really believed it would make me happy. In the years leading up to the start of meditation, most things that I wanted in life to make me happy, I was achieving with some ease. There was a lingering feeling that although I was getting what I wanted materially it all felt so delicate and fragile. I constantly worried about the future from an early age. One day I stopped and thought that no matter how much I have gained materially I was still worrying more than ever about the future and what it would hold for me. I stopped and asked myself, that if I set all these goals, even upon achieving them…and was still not secure, would I ever feel happy? This made me realise that there was something missing from my life, something that money could not buy. I have had questions all my... View Article
I had a precarious childhood. My parents had to support a family of six children so they experienced economic hardship, which was overcome with the family unity. I was not a good student but my brothers were. They had excellent academic achievements. Also, I was not satisfied with my physical appearance, which made me feel bad. I never talked to anyone about bad things I had gone through. This created many emotional problems throughout my life. I couldn’t trust people as I felt defrauded, so I kept distance from the people I lived with. My very way of thinking continued on to my marriage. With great efforts, I and my husband attained the certificate as a teacher, and we maintained the economic stability. Our children have always been the blessing that brought the great joy to our life. Although they were good and lovely, I could not be a good mother for them. They were very reserved about their school life and personal situations. I also started to have problems with my husband. As my time was solely occupied with my work, I felt the lack of communication between me and my husband. We had a big gap between us.... View Article
When I contemplate my life, the sixty years fall into three distinct categories. The first twenty-nine years I was a sleep walker living on an emotional path that gradually spiraled downward. Those sad years prompted me to spend the next thirty years as a seeker of spiritual Truth. Now that I have been practicing this meditation, I am on the road to becoming the Truth that I studied about as a seeker. Growing up, I was the youngest child in my family. As a result, I had numerous opportunities to study my older sister and I discovered that the best way to stay out of trouble was to just be quiet and follow the rules. This strategy worked for a while but eventually austere obedience began to take its toll and I got into the habit of daydreaming in order to cope with what I was suppressing in my daily life. In my dreams, I could do anything I wanted and I could have everything exactly as I wished it to be. Unfortunately, my unrealistic fantasies were a set up for disappointment. The space between my dreams and my real life situations steadily increased. In my imaginary life I had... View Article
