🌿 My Awakening Story: From Struggle to Consistent Happiness

       A sunrise reminds us that every ending brings a new beginning — just as my awakening did

Growing Up with Questions

I was born in Mumbai, India, where temples filled every street and lane. Growing up in a Hindu household, spirituality was always present. But I was a rebel child — questioning rituals, asking why, and searching for meaning beyond tradition.

Life’s Breaking Point

Years later, life brought challenges I couldn’t ignore. My 15-year marriage ended, and I became a single mom raising two boys. A later relationship collapsed, and in 2014 I lost my father.

Behind smiles, I battled depression — sometimes laughing with clients, other times crying in secret. By the end of that year, I whispered to myself: “There must be a way.”

At the time, I was a Realtor with a decent income, but I longed for more — more peace, more abundance, more purpose.

Discovering A Course in Miracles

One day, I stumbled across a YouTube video. The speaker quoted A Course in Miracles, and though I didn’t understand it fully, something stirred in me. Months later, during heartbreak, I reached for one of her books. The Course spoke about “special relationships,” and I found small comfort.

That opened a door to metaphysics, and I searched everywhere for answers. Yet, peace was temporary, and the questions in my soul remained.

The Turning Point

On September 7, 2015, while stuck in traffic on the way to a client, I remembered a 40-day video program I had signed up for and forgotten. Curious, I pressed play.

The speaker said something about being consistently happy. My heart leapt. I declared: “That’s what I want — to be consistently happy. Not hiding in bathrooms to cry, not pretending to be strong while breaking inside, but truly, consistently happy.”

That moment was my spiritual awakening.

Walking in Faith

Those 40 days opened a path I could not have imagined. Questions I had carried for years began to find answers: Who am I? Who is God? Why am I here?

Some call it a kundalini awakening. I call it grace.

Even when I didn’t know where my next dollar would come from, I invested in myself and a $1,000 program. For the first time, I chose to trust God fully. That leap of faith became the foundation for everything that followed.

Ten Years Later

It has been almost a decade since that turning point. I no longer chase fleeting happiness. I’ve learned that suffering is not required, and happiness isn’t something to seek — it’s who we already are.

My spiritual awakening story was not just about spirituality, but about alignment, personal growth and faith. It shaped how I see life, wealth, purpose, and faith.

And now, I share this story so that others know — even in their darkest valleys, light is waiting to break through. This is only part of my faith journey. In my next blog, I’ll share how alignment shaped my sense of purpose.
