SadhanaOriental Meditation and Christian Prayer
My experience of Sadhana sessions
My belief that has been changed
I was raised in a devout Catholic family. I have never questioned the existence of God, and therefore, I had lived in fear of judgment, thinking “this is evil” and “this is sinful.” I was more seriously concerned about not doing bad things and not going to hell rather than trying to do good things. I have been taught for years in family, through education, and at church, but where were true freedom, dignity, kindness, and love, if I think now?
I was around 40 when I met Sadhana, a program that I’d never heard of. At first, I participated in the program out of curiosity and because I was attracted to the guiding priest’s unique personality. After participating in it for several times, my soul fully met Christ, who I believe in, and I experienced the feeling of being loved rather than my love towards Him. It is unconditional love. I am loved as I am and freely, and even if I don’t specifically do good things but just because I live!
Through the game-like Sadhana program, I experienced the joy of becoming fully into one with Jesus, which liberated me in an unimaginable way, and I can keep having hope that never goes away.
“The Lord’s happiness is my happiness, and my happiness is the Lord’s happiness.” I want to say loudly that this belief is the blessing of becoming into one with God through Sadhana. (Tokyo Prefecture, 60s, female)
