Getting to Joy: A Western Householder's Spiritual Journey with Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi)
The day of Ammachi's program arrived.  I had clients scheduled  throughout the day and into the early evening, so was unable to be  present when the program began.  I walked into a room already packed  with people and found a seat against the back wall. Immediately a very  strange thing happened.  I have always had mild curvature of the spine  and I tend to sit fairly hunchbacked, probably as much from habit as  necessity.  As I sat down on the floor, cross-legged, my back  spontaneously straightened until I was sitting as straight and tall as  it was possible for me to sit.  Needless to say, I was quite shocked!
