As I was winding up a creative writing workshop, my eyes were locked into another pair brimming with eagerness and hesitation at the same time. These eyes belonged to a young university student who was aspiring to be a writer. As the unfolding of events would have it, this person joined Aatman to enhance their writing skills as writing a novel was on their mind.
The programme of Aatman turned out to be quite a different affair for this writing enthusiast. Their stories clearly pointed towards strained relations with parents and their younger sibling. On further writing and probing, challenges with selection of career came to the surface. Aatman also brought out the problems this youngster was facing with their friends and other acquaintances in the social sphere.
Work began on the person through writing and discussion of their compositions, by me and the ‘Seekers’ of their Aatman community. Many tears were shed, many notions were overcome, many habits were changed and many decisions were made. The young pair of eyes was lit up again, but this time the eyes beheld love, joy and enthusiasm for life.
The person was able to receive and give love to their parents again. The estranged siblings were reunited; and the family was pulsating with gushes of love. Furthermore, this Aatman Seeker was able to draw a clear career path for themselves and were able to get into a renowned university in India for further education. The transformation was so wholesome that even while preparing for entrance examinations, this young soul took up work assignments with prestigious outfits as a freelancer. They have recently been offered a job with the same organisation. All this has happened through one programme of Aatman that has continued to release its positivity over a span of two years and counting.
The goodness of Aatman does not end here. The community of Seekers has become a strong support system for this Seeker, as it is for others in the batch or Hamlet. These Seekers have continued to share and support each other even after they have graduated from the programme.
For me, it has brought the realisation of my life’s mission with every person who has healed with Aatman.
So, what are you waiting for? Come and experience Aatman with me.
