Swami's talk has been so helpful to me right now as I go through this period of my life. Several years of my getting knocked down and getting myself up, dusting off and continuing. Faith has kept me going. Finally I surrendered and gave it all to god. Divine Creator I give this over to you. I do not know how to do it, I do not know anything. Please take this from me and do what you will. After three and a half years, doors begin to open for me. Flying open in a beautiful way, beyond what I could have imagined. Tears of thankfulness to divine mother/father flow throughout my body.

Thank you for talking about how will, prayer and awareness can be used as 3 strategies for change. How does a person move from battery pack to being plugged in for prayer to work? I am planning on visiting the ashram in June 2019 :)

Thank you! Great talk. What does opposite positive mean exactly?

It is the yogic teaching of "Pratipaksha Bhavana," where you substitute a positive thought, feeling, attitude to shift the way the mind perceives something "negative."
