In Their Own Words

Florida When people learn how to tap into stillness and silence through the ancient practice of Primordial Sound Meditation, they are often profoundly transformed. Here is what a few of those on the path have to say (shared with their permission):


"Today is my 21st day of meditating and here is a report of my experiences: From the outset of the Seduction of Spirit gathering, I hated having to learn the attributes of the sutras, and when I complained about them to davidji, he said that they help us learn patience. That did nothing to allay my annoyance. I couldn't remember them, didn't care that I couldn't remember them, and was annoyed with myself for not learning them right away.

Once home, I made a commitment to meditate, partly out of the desire to bring my soul in closer alignment with my body and mind, but also more practically because I had spent all this money and did not want it to go to waste (I am from New England). It was true what davidji said about just waking up earlier to meditate. I rose at 6, put on the Ayurvedic oil, and meditated. In the beginning I had a little cheat sheet with the sutras but found early on that I did not need it. In fact, during the first week, the sutras were what kept me focused after my mind wandered a lot during the Primordial Sound Meditation. So now I like the sutras a lot and welcome them. Who would have guessed!

The evening meditation saved me from the sadness I feel during the winter months when the day closes down into night and becomes cold way too soon. Since I was meditating during this transition, when I finished and it was dark outside, I did not have the same sense of sadness, but merely of time’s passage.

What the meditation has brought me thus far is a realization of my stories and a recognition of myself as a person of value. I’d never had trouble forgiving others for how they hurt me, but my big realization in meditation was that I had refused to give myself the same forgiveness I so freely offered to others. I refused to love myself, a seemingly deliberate cruel act that I was able to recognize in meditation. So through meditation I have begun to reclaim myself as beloved."

"I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to go for Primordial Sound Meditation Teacher Training in July! I feel so blessed to have the gift of meditation in my life. I'm already studying, bought my airplane ticket, and arranged my days off at my job.

I’m always meditating and watching Miracles in my life and in other people’s lives too. I'm forever grateful to Deepak, who began to change my life with his books and made me aware of my Spirit."

"Thank you for the gift of Primordial Sound Meditation. I meditate daily now and my life has changed. I am writing my own story now and I am a person of love, wisdom, empathy, and giving. I make the story so good! I always knew everything was inside me – I just didn't know how to let the light in. I am where I need to be now wherever I am, and my peace is so grand I form tears of joy when I think of how I feel. I can never go back, I am awakened. I am so grateful for where I am and where I will go."
- Dr. Brandi K. Davis
