Our Wednesday session is a highlight of my week and a chance to reflect and learn.
Thanks Sanjaya".
"I have enjoyed the sessions facilitated by Sanjaya. I am a novice, but have noticed better self awareness and ability to focus on my breathing during times of stress. I am getting used to the practice of meditation and again focusing on my breathing.
I am finding the guided meditation sessions for me are a focused activity aimed at relaxing my mind. (A bit of me time).
I also find that these sessions keep me committed to the practice by having a fixed time each week.
I highly recommend these sessions.
Give it a try."
"Sanjaya Rodrigo has been an incredible mentor to my son Tharun, providing invaluable support in both his chess journey and mindfulness practice. His guidance has greatly enhanced Tharun’s ability to approach chess games with clarity, strategic thinking, and confidence.
Sanjaya’s innovative approach of integrating chess techniques with mindfulness exercises has significantly improved Tharun’s focus and mental resilience during games. This was particularly evident in the 15th Chennai Open International Grandmasters Chess Tournament (Below 1800 category), where Tharun delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 6 points out of 9 games. Thanks to Sanjaya’s mindfulness guidance, Tharun remained composed under pressure and competitive throughout the tournament, culminating in an impressive FIDE Classic rating debut of 1639+ points."
"It is with immense gratitude that I share my review of Sanjaya Rodrigo and his transformative ‘Happiness is the Path’ practice. Sanjaya’s unique blend of mindfulness meditation, mental conditioning, and life coaching has been truly life-changing, not only for my son, Yugan, an aspiring young cricketer, but for our entire family.
Sanjaya’s sessions are more than just mindfulness training; they offer a holistic approach to self-discovery, emotional well-being, and personal growth. Yugan has gained not only clarity and focus on the cricket field but also invaluable self-belief and emotional resilience that have helped shape him into a well-rounded individual. Sanjaya’s unique ability to connect his experience as a former professional cricketer and U19 Cricket World Cup player with mindfulness techniques creates an unmatched framework for personal and professional growth."
