Over the past five months of practicing Dhyan, I’ve noticed genuinely positive internal changes, especially a stronger, more upright posture, more ease in my body, deeper breathing, and an overall calmer, clearer mind. One of the most striking moments came during deep Dhyan (about 10–15 minutes in), when Mata Lakshmi appeared to me. I recognised her by her multi-armed form and the powerful symbols she held, most vividly a bell and a set of scales which felt like a direct message about bringing more balance into my life, something that had already been a theme that week. She appeared seated in a lotus, surrounded by a white, cloud-like sky, wearing ornate gold, heavily jeweled adornments, with elaborate jewellery across her face and ears, and even a subtle blue tinge to her skin that gave the whole experience a divine feminine, sacred energy.
