I used to get headaches if I skip a meal and get acidity problem if I stay hungry for a long time. So I was scared to try Nirahara Samyama during the earlier batches. When I saw other Sangha members, I gained confidence and wanted to try it. During samyama, I did not have any acidity or headaches and that was a big surprise to me. Nowadays I don’t feel bad even if I skip a meal or if meal gets delayed. My food intake has gone down so much. I am also not dependent on the rice or other foods any more. I lost almost 10 lb and have not gained much back.
On the first day of Level 1 and 2nd day of Level 2, I felt very bad and low. I was almost feeling to give up but I did not give up. When I held the mala and prayed to Swamiji, I felt better and felt good. I felt lighter and energetic. This process gave my being more courage and strength.
This process has helped me to watch what I am eating and not to over eat when my body does not need it. I am not tempted to eat whatever is served when we go for parties. My colleagues were amazed to see so energetic without solid foods during the process.
I thank Swamiji from the bottom of my heart for giving me an opportunity to break some of my food patterns and complete the process successfully.
