By Padma Devi Ishaya<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I write these lines, I find myself taking a retrospective look that seems to reach almost back to my first years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s incredible how much my experience of life has changed! From feeling like I’m in a constant struggle, to accepting and flowing smoothly with life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I only remember that little girl, that teenager, and that young woman who used to live in a much more complicated way, she used to struggle so much with everything, she believed and felt that everything in life was very difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe me, accepting myself, others, and what was happening around me wasn’t something I experienced very often. Instead, there was rejection, contempt, criticism, and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking For \u201cMore\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I read books about detachment, self-love, self-esteem, how to stop suffering, how to cultivate inner peace, and needless to say, about enlightenment, they seemed extremely distant, difficult, or even impossible for someone like me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read many books on spirituality and psychology; some inspired me in such a way that they had a positive effect on me for one or more days, but eventually I would return to feeling anxious, worried, insecure, and dissatisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried countless things to create a lifestyle that would make me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the depths of my being, I longed to find “how to be happy.” I no longer wanted to read or hear that others were practically floating on a cloud of happiness; I was ready to experience it for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This determination led me to make, what would turn out to be, a life-changing decision. Twenty-four years ago, I attended the First Sphere meditation course with the teachers of The Bright Path Ishayas. There I learned the Ascension Techniques and how to use them daily. And it remains, by far, the best gift I could have given myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before that course, I woke up every day with the firm intention of being happy, of loving and accepting myself, and of living harmoniously with my family. I remember that no more than fifteen minutes would pass after I got out of bed before I was already arguing with someone, or already annoyed by something. And what about when I went out? It was one unpleasant experience after another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything seemed wrong, out of place, or not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practicing The Ishayas\u2019 Ascension Changed Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what happened to me after I started practicing those Ascension techniques? Everything I had always dreamed of and searched for for years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just started using them every day, and they helped me dive deep inside myself, and that started to change everything. Thanks to the rest I was experiencing, my stress, anxiety, and reactivity levels began to decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took me a while to realise the incredible power of the techniques, but I gradually began to notice changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With consistent practice and the guidance of the teachers, I began to discover a version of myself I hadn’t experienced in a long time: without effort or intention, I found myself relaxed, serene, in good spirits, and at peace. I no longer reacted negatively to many situations; I felt like cleaning my house, serving others, my fear diminished, and there’s a very long list of other positive things I began to notice. It was as if the fog that clouded my vision was gradually dissipating, free of judgment, expectations, criticism, and negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I realise that acceptance of myself, others, and the situations in my life and the world is a natural byproduct of my daily practice. I have become filled with deep gratitude for everything I constantly experience and receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This practice calms my mind and fills me with peace. Believe me, it’s much easier to accept life’s challenges from this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a chaotic mind and a stressed and exhausted body, it is very difficult to find space to decide and act wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t use my techniques, because I love how I flow with life with joy, acceptance, love, and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is, beyond the mental chaos and daily stress, with the right practice, you can discover the ocean of Peace, Wisdom and Happiness that dwells within you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you already possess these techniques, I encourage you to continue practicing and to connect with the teachers of The Bright Path; their guidance is invaluable. If you are not yet practicing, I invite you to learn and discover the infinite treasure that resides within you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
