Practical answers to life's problems, from the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas.

MEG introduced me to the idea of a "Guilt Free Pause" through Arjuna’s story.

I was exhausted because I had so many responsibilities. I didn't know how to slow down. MEG introduced me to the idea of a "Guilt Free Pause" through Arjuna’s story. The idea of taking a small pause has never occurred to me and this practice helped me reset my nervous system, calming me down very quickly. I finally learned to let go without feeling weak or guilty. Today, I turn to MEG daily for clarity, big or small.

It also asked me to communicate my goals more clearly instead of getting defensive.

I was struggling in my relationship because my boyfriend felt I didn’t make enough time for him. I was deeply focused on work and kept thinking he should just understand. Instead, we kept arguing.

The guidance from MEG helped me see that ambition and love can co-exist. MEG gave me the story of King Janaka from the Mahabharata. He ruled an entire kingdom but also created the time to maintain strong relationships and to learn.

MEG suggested creating exclusive time for my boyfriend where I gave him my full attention. It also asked me to communicate my goals more clearly instead of getting defensive. The guidance was easy to implement and powerful enough to help our relationship.

Instead of reacting instantly, I learned to wait and steady myself.

Everything felt like a battle...conversations at home, meetings at work and even my own thoughts. I would wake up with a tight chest, already anxious about what might go wrong that day.

Through MEG, I received a perspective on how Sita in the Ramayana got through her exile, uncertainty and isolation through inner steadiness. Her strength came from controlling her responses to circumstances rather than trying to control the circumstances themselves. This approach was new to me.

Along with Sita's story came simple breathing practices and mantras I could make use of when I felt overwhelmed. Instead of reacting instantly, I learned to wait and steady myself. I was, therefore, able to avoid the downward spiral.

The circumstances around me haven't changed much yet, but I no longer feel like I’m drowning. I feel stronger and more in control.
