Journey Loneliness to Aloneness

When I immigrated to Canada (Ottawa and Toronto) from Tehran, felt lonely and far away from family and friends. Spent 5 years of solitude there, busy with university and jobs afterwards which made me realize that I prefer to get deeper inside of my Self. Moved back to Iran recently and looked for the true sense of liberation and happiness. Heard from many yoga teachers and read in many books that you can find it within.. although never felt or experienced in a true sense. For the first time, experienced it in the past few days through your assistance at the ashram.

Pretending to laugh can lead to real laughter which increases shakti. Very powerful which has transformed me. I Saw myself walking very peacefully through a very green field, sun shining in a blue sky with a very pleasant breeze along with a great sense of liberation which is not describable in words. My head and feet were moving up towards the sky a bit. The only part of my body which feels a bit heavy is around root chakra.. everything seems green today.. was inspired to do some painting.
