I don't want to be too personal, but Om Shanti Ananda and Davidji's meditation this morning has allowed me to be great peace today as I decided last night, alone, to go to detox and treatment. I have a few health issues that allowed me to continue to be on medication for over 30 years. My father passed away last year so I had my mother and sister move to help with my mom in any way I could. I see my mom in a much more frail and fragile state, which has been overwhelming and I see that my sober sister needs help. My brother took his life 8 years ago and my oldest sibling hardly functions in her own alcoholism. So I have always stayed away from alcohol, but have consistently been on pain meds thinking (more like convincing) myself that I am not an addict because I take everything as prescribed - no misuse, no abuse- which I think I will one day accept that I was in compliance with meds (and my addiction) because I couldn't have it stop! I don't have expectations for my journey, but I believe anything worthwhile is never come by easily. I have been meditating for a dozen years or so. My spiritual path has been sustaining, waiting for me to remove the blocks I built around my addiction. But it has prevented me from attaining sustainable joy and happiness. This meditation reconfirms to me that I will almost always have access to presence, my connection to the Divine. Thank you for the excellent meditation. Davidji has been one of my favorite teachers on this app since I can remember. And I knew you were calling this morning and I was brought to this meditation today, not by coincidence, but by a great opening in my Soul- an invitation to not be in control, but to be at Peace with the Divine connection I know will be the bedrock of a newly accessible potential. Maybe someone else will read this and have a seed planted as it has been in me. I have love and compassion today, for everyone who struggles in any way, particularly the marginalized humans who feel unworthy - anything is possible in all situations and we can't live in the fear of what may happen or the regrets of the thoughts and decisions we have made before this moment, as this is where we, and all things, are possible! Om Shanti Ananda! Om Shanti Ananda! Om Shanti Ananda... Will
