Who's citizen soldier

Thank you

I will give a content warning for reference towards su*cide attempt but

CITIZEN SOLDIER

Citizen soldier is a band that started when the lead singer, Jake Segura, attempted on his own life. He penned down the lyrics to his first song on a napkin in a psych ward.

He wrote this song, 'Let It Burn' as a passion project to help himself heal, but when he shared it it resonated with people, so he shared other songs he made, and the whole thing spiralled, he writes mental health songs, both validating and encouraging

I love this because he both goes into the darkest depths and isn't scared to show that darkness, but he also shows the possibilities of getting out

Now, 8 years after surviving, he's both a licensed therapist and going on world tours with his friends and with his music.

He's never cared to be on stage, but it helps so many people, he keeps going.

I love this band because it's a reminder that your darkest moments can be your brightest lights. I'm not gonna get too into it because no one wants to hear about my life, but this band was such a great ray of hope that survival wasn't just a mistake, but a possibility that everything could change. The moment he thought he wouldn't survive ended up being the moment that helped millions of people to.

I listen to music almost constantly and love lots of different bands, but citizen soldier will always be my top band. They do all genres of music and talk about different problems while keeping the same theme, from abuse to post partum depression, from piano to rock music, he tries to give everyone something

Fun facts:

I never go to concerts due to stimulation and anxiety, the only concerts I went to was citizen soldier. Due to the community despite it being exhausting, best nights of my life.

First concert I went to only had 200 people. Next concert I went to a few months later had 2000.

Citizen Soldier was just a local band that lived near me at first, never expected to become known as more than that.

Before Citizen Soldier even existed, Jake's mom taught me in middle school

I have autographs from all 5 members of the band

I have every single song memorized by heart and can recommend one to anyone that might match them best based on their preferences

The this is your sign playlists tell a story if you listen to the songs in order

This band is one of the biggest reasons I'm still here, and I'm not afraid to share my healing journey anymore.

Mindfulness and Wellness Travel: How Retreats Bring People Inner Serenity

Disentangling from the steady ringing of notifications and never-ending to-do lists, growing numbers are finding that getting away to wellness travel packages is transforming. Mindful getaways are not vacations; they are well-structured trips toward inner peace and self-renewal.

Growing Popularity in Wellness Travel Packages

Life's fast pace leaves little room for meaningful self-care and reflection.

Building a foundation for lifelong personal growth

The Lasting Impact of Mindful Travel

With a wellness travel package, clients get not just a temporary reprieve but actual tools and experiences that bring lasting positive change. After coming home, participants generally take away:

Daily mindfulness practices

A deeper care for themselves

Better ways of dealing with life stress

A more connected mind and body

Clearly defined next steps in personal growth

Usually, the change brought by attending a mindfulness retreat far exceeds a simple trip. Investments in wellness travel retreats bring more than just a good holiday—they form a basic foundation to ensure ongoing well-being and peace in life. The benefits often continue long after leaving and returning home.

There is tremendous variation when it comes to the length, focus, and intensity of wellness travel packages, making it possible to fit any schedule or experience level. Whether for a weekend reset or a deeper transformational experience, these thoughtful journeys offer a path toward better peace, clarity, and general well-being.

Sathya Sai Baba healing of shenanigans by sex obsessed Vishwananda

Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the healer of shenanigans by sex obsessed Vishwananda, the false guru originally from Mauritius who has been referring to himself as Swami Vishwananda. Vishwananda cannot stand up to the unfathomable power of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and Sri Sathya Sai Baba will provide the healing to anyone who has been victimised in any way by Vishwananda.

The book 'Kundalini and the Violet Flame' by Suvendrie Moodley has already been mentioned in this series of blogs and this book received a blessing by Sri Sathya Sai Baba for personally accepting a draft copy of this book and of interest is that Ela Gandhi, granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi, wrote the preface to this book.

'Friend of the Heart' is the other publication by Suvendrie Moodley and the content of this book empathises with those who have been to see a false guru where the healing gained is through the power of Sri Sathya Sai Baba as the speech at the launch of this book in Durban, November 2017 highlights.

Here is the update to the link for Suvendrie Moodley's blog on book publications that has been given in summary. http://publicationssuvendriemoodley.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/details-on-publication-of-books.html

The link to the speech that took place in Durban in November 2017 at the launch of Suvendrie Moodley's book, 'Friend of the Heart' where the power of Sri Sathya Sai Baba's healing of a woman's encounter with a false guru has been highlighted is given here.
