Experiences with Swami Prem Paras by Sandra Schoenmann

Experiences since I met Swami Prem Paras The first time I met Swamiji was the 14th of December 2013 in Interlaken at the yoga-center. He was playing a concert and I was very touched by his music. The music goes through all parts of your body and it feels like a cleansing. 3 or even 4 hours passed so fast, incredible – you lose the sense of time. At this time I was not very happy. My relationsship felt apart and I was still not accepting the fact my partner and me will have to go separate ways. The music consoled me. Even though I doubted that things like this can be true I wanted to experience more. I felt very depressed the next day and may be body was aching everywhere. But at the same time I knew something good is going on in my body. I just had to let go and trust. So I visited a workshop with Swamiji the 5th of January 2014. Again it was a very nice day with music and immense happiness. At the evening I felt sadness and I was horribly tired – pain all over my body. Next day again I felt miserable. But then a few days later, suddenly I felt a lightness in my mind and body like I probably felt the last time as I was a child... My heart was opening and my face had no choice than smiling. First time I did not feel as victim – now I started to enjoy. Of course some days I felt back in misery but it was easier to get up again. And the CD with Swamijis music were helping me through. I felt open, I got trust in life, that I meet the right persons, that my yoga classes will grow, that I got more work in marketing and it just happened... I just returned back from another two days workshop and what I experienced there is hardly to describe in words. Nice people, nice energy and a lot of meetings with new meditation techniques. We practized various meditation types and in some of them I felt and saw my soul. I guess so:) I lived through extreme bliss, silence and power. Afterwards I felt happiness, my eyes and face were shining. Many people cried in the workshops, Swamiji encouraged us to cry to release the sadness. I couldn’t - even I wanted to cry. The more I tried the less my sadness came out... When we meditated about our inner female and male, suddenly the pain released and I started to cry. I suppose there was a guilt that I was carring since childhood with me. So suddenly I knew this was a disorder between my female and male part. Because of that I could hardly accept my inner male part. I guess this disorder made it hard to love myself. After this relief I felt even better. And I could experience even more joy. For instance while I was practizing my yoga asanas it felt more intense. The music passed through every cell of my body – and I am convinced it is still healing me... When many people are sitting in a room, it seems Swamiji preceives every single person, every single soul and he answers to questions people are thinking. He responds without words. I am full of gratitude for all the experiences I made and I am very curious about more experiences. Would recommend concerts, workshops and sessions for everyone. Be open and try to become a child again! Sandra Schönmann, 37 years old Yoga Instructor and Marketing professional
