Losing my dream job and starting again with Raja Yoga Meditation | Parmjit Basra

09/14/20 • 42 min

In this episode Parmjit Basra is guest of The Career Changers and is sharing his inspirational career change story, going from a failed business to the discovery of Raja Yoga Meditation and a new career.
When he first attended a Raja Yoga meditation class 15 years ago, it was because his wife kept insisting it would do him some good. He had been in business with his father, and a downturn in the economy meant they had to fold. Seven years on, the aftermath of settling financial commitments had ground him down to a point where he was feeling very stressed.

His reluctance was based on the assumption: “How can meditation fix real problems?” but he instantly felt the benefit. The meditation enabled him to think more clearly, and what he learned from the teachings reminded him that he had choices, and he had to take responsibility for those choices.
Today Parmjit Basra is a student and teacher of Raja Yoga Meditation. He has many years of experience of facilitating courses, talks and seminars on self-development to a variety of audiences.

A few years ago, he was a tired, demotivated, and disillusioned employee. The job that once challenged and raised him, had started to weigh him down. He had stopped looking forward to the next day and began to understand what others meant by ‘Monday morning blues’. He had seen others around him live in a state of -at best- apathy and -at worst- disdain, towards their work and told himself this would never be him.

This is when he decided it was the right time for some drastic changes in his life.
