Inner Reflections from the Participants

How powerful my mind can be if I am patient enough to take a moment for my inner self. I m enought to be on my own. My body is my sanctuary. I am capable of more than I think.

Josselyn Luna

I can now bless even those who have hurt me. Equalizing breath and meditation has healed my anxiety. I relax with equalizing breathing when my mind is restless. This program has taught me the inner principles of meditation. The wisdom teachers' explanations on spirituality, yoga philosophy, and holistic well-being answered many of my life questions.

Reeni Giri

I realized how much locked energy I have in my body, and the Inner Awakening program really helped open some blockages. It brought light and much-needed clarity to my mental health. My favorite moment was the Third eye activation when I felt a surge of energy upwards.

Jorge

I realized that I can quiet my mind for more than a few seconds and go deeper into meditation. I feel more at peace, relaxed, and happy. Stretches and breathing practices really helped release my back pain. Upon activating the chakras, my fear was released, allowing me to go deeper into meditation safely. Now that I know how to breathe, meditation is easy.

Patti

"Before Inner Awakening, I was struggling with deep grief and anxiety after losing my beloved dog. I felt overwhelmed and unstable. Just after the first session, I felt calmer and more hopeful. My mental and emotional state improved significantly by the end of the program, allowing me to resume my life. I found the equalized breathing technique easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I also enjoyed the meditation practices that connect with our higher selves and the in-depth explanations of yoga's fundamental concepts. I plan to continue practicing these techniques consistently to experience more benefits."

Ashwini

I gained a better understanding of meditation and the power of breath. I feel calm, energized, pain-free and realize Positive thoughts shape my future. The crown chakra activation was intense, and I felt a loss of body awareness and high energy. I appreciate the volunteers for offering this program.

Divya Dhanapal

I felt more present. Stretches, breathing practices, and pranic yoga renewed my energy and calmness. I was able to quiet my overactive mind. Pranic yoga released emotional and mental blocks. Connecting with like-minded individuals was inspiring. I'm calmer, happier, and more focused. Thank you to GuruMahan and the volunteers for this wonderful program. UPF's mission of inner and world peace resonates with me.

Shalini Suri

Being aware of the chakras, balancing, and activation was insightful. Tapping into cosmic energy empowered me to feel more confident in my ability to deal with life's challenges. The chakra activations by the Guru were very special. I plan to use equalizing breath to balance and heal daily. I'm grateful to the organization, Wisdom teachers, and volunteers for this transformative experience.

Deepti Choudhary

I received the initiation I had longed for since childhood. I feel grounded, balanced, and at peace. The crown chakra activation brought tears of joy and bliss. I felt energy rising through my head. I plan to meditate daily to elevate my consciousness. I am grateful and blessed.

Vidya

I have been meditating for 3 decades, but the experience gained in this program is profound. 

Obaid

I found myself letting go and felt lighter. I have been studying Kundalini for over 12 years but couldn’t find anything like this. I am so happy to have found UPF and gaining this experience. I saw a lot of colors during the Third eye activation. I could feel my mind more at peace, happier, and centered all day. I am so glad for attending this program. Thank you for helping me get more self-realization.

Sue Patterson

I realized my child spirit needs to be re-discovered, nurtured, and protected. I had the best sleep in almost a year after attending the first session. I felt loved and the energy jump-started releasing the blockages. Thank you is not enough for receiving this profound experience.

Sandy Lam

I felt very relaxed and present. Emotionally, I was able to let go of some clutter from my mind. Chakra activations were amazing, filling my body with energy and high vibrations. A big thank you to everyone who made this possible.
