Train Journey Experience

I was travelling by train from Patna City to Kolkatta a journey of about eight hours in the morning. After two or three hours, I started feeling a bit agitated and uneasy within myself. Then an idea struck me: why not use this time for some breathing and chanting exercises?

So, I did a 20-minute “Yoga for Peace” practice followed by 20 minutes of AUM chanting that I had learned from Isha’s YouTube sessions.

After completing the practices, I felt a deep shift inside me the agitation dropped drastically, and I was surrounded by a sense of peace and quiet joy. I felt fresh, light, and centered within myself, and the rest of the journey became joyful and effortless.

It was one of those moments when I consciously changed my inner chemistry from being miserable to being well.
