Glimpses


Participants came up with interesting and insightful experiences and thoughts. Most of the participants belong to rural areas with minimal education and struggling backgrounds.


Stories of their struggle, rites for bread and butter, beginning of their business with Multilevel Marketing Company Glaze Trading India Pvt. Ltd, how this company got them introduced to meditations like Vipassana, movie like "The Secret" and books like "You can heal your Life" and how all these things gradually started bringing a positive and healing impact on their lives.
People were mirthful and exalted their gratitude towards the leading men of their company Mr. Chetan Handa and Mr. Sanjeev Chibber who not only helped them to empower financially through this business but also motivated them to rise up from the level of making a living to empowering their lives with knowledge about life and about their "real selves".

A participant spoke very well about the human existence on planet earth in his dialect which another person pleasingly translated for me. 

The Guy said- "We are comprised of three elements Body, Mind and Soul and We have an unknown power which can keep all of them on track which is called Viveka (Righteousness)."

What is Mind?


The interesting answers I received from the participants were:

 "Mind is a playful horse who always runs."

" Mind is an unchained monkey."

"Mind is an invisible power within us."

"Mind does not exist. It is a myth."

After a detailed discussion on "What they think mind is" which was full of wit, humor and deep insights, participants asked me to elaborate it in a logical manner, which I did through power point presentation and I drew a diagram to explain  "what is Mind."

The moment I drew the "map of mind" on white board, an ammunition of questions got started firing from the other side of stage.

"How would we know that mind is energy. We do not even know what is energy?"

"From where have you studied all this madam?"

"Then what is brain?"

"Can we touch it?"

"What is the difference between dil (heart) and mann (mind)?"

"How would I precisely know


What is Energy?


To satisfy all the questions in a little vivid way, I asked them to stand up and made them do an exercise with closed eyes.

The hall was beaming with laughter, whispers and surprise of all 450 participants. 

Man, women and teenagers, everyone was wondering what strange thing I am asking them to do.

I asked them to spread their hands outward and start closing and opening their palms. First slow and then gradually fast and faster.

They followed my commands.

And then suddenly, I asked them to STOP.

And to remain in the same position for a while with closed eyes.

Their arms were aching and trembling.

Then I asked them to open their palms slowly and keep them facing each other. Slowly bringing them closer and far..Feeling the energy in between of both the palms.

I could see the heaviness in their arms which was hard for them to handle but following me they were doing so.

I asked them to feel whatever they can feel.

Some of them said -"They are feeling a huge magnet in between of the palms."

Some - "Huge Pull."

Some - "Pain and Aches"

Some- "Heaviness out of control."

Some felt- "Nothing."

I asked them to send a thought to their palms to release all the heavy energy which is Not needed to the universe.

I saw some of them actually sending the energy with the actions of their hands.

The arms started feeling lighter with this thought and they returned to the normal state and sat comfortably.

"So, whatever you felt was ENERGY and whatever is there in the universe is just energy. Energy of your hand movements made ur hands heavy and energy of a light thought made your hands lighter. So Now you understand what is energy?"

They replied back caressing their arms with smile- "YES!"

I noticed. Within minutes, the energy of hall was shifted. Fears and doubts were subsided, and the minds were calm and fresh now.

We spoke about Conscious and Subconscious mind.


Forgiveness Meditation - Calm your mind to listen to your soul


We began the meditation by saying- Breathing in, "I am willing to change" and Breathing out, "I surrender my pains." 

I tell you - If you want to see beauty see a common man in meditation with his closed eyes. Nothing is more beautiful to witness an inward journey!



Those 15 minutes. Some instructions, some silence, some tears, some sobs, some jerks, some smiles and whole hall was witnessing 450 people deep in themselves.


A participant told, " Once in a flash of fury I slapped myself repeatedly in front of my parents. I walked out in middle of some tiff in anger and never went back. Today I asked forgiveness..," 
He told sobbing, "My father is no more now. But today I saw him in meditation. We were too poor and he could never feed us well. He told me Son I love you, do not say sorry, I understand you. He blessed me and both of us kept crying hugging each other until our hearts became lighter. I am feeling blessed and relieved after a long time!"

A bright young face elated in peace.

Many other shared their experiences too. Wounds were being healed more as they stood up and shared their most personal experiences of life.
We went through many other  Emotional and Spiritual empowerment Techniques on next day i.e.

Emotional Empowerment Techniques

Cleansing Techniques

Detoxification Techniques

Self-Healing Techniques 

Heal Body Through Thoughts


Participants learnt and then there were some practice rounds. 

Hesitations dropped and empowerment was in progress.


Healing makes you brighter, knowledge makes you stronger and wisdom makes you empowered.

Love & Light
