Om Wisdom Center For Enlightenment

Our programs help you transcend the stress of life’s challenges by shifting you to a place where your happiness reflects your intentions rather than being controlled by your circumstances.

We've been there. If it can happen for us, it can happen for you too!

Our Vision

At OM Wisdom Center for Enlightenment, we believe in making a difference in the world. It’s not just about a job, the business, or even the profit. It’s our destiny, our fundamental reason for being. We must help improve the quality of life for our fellow citizens and ourselves. Our business is merely a vehicle - a channel, so to speak, for helping fulfill our destiny.

We dedicate our lives to helping people come out of suffering by guiding them to awaken to their higher Self, a new state of consciousness. Being in this new state of consciousness heals relationships of all kinds: family, friendships, romantic, community, casual, even business. When this happens, we can be caring, kind, compassionate, loving and happy for no reason at all, and we can act this way towards others. This is enlightenment.

We are passionate about helping people face their ongoing challenges. We want to provide people with the wisdom and tools they need to transcend unproductive beliefs, habits and conditioning so that they can discover their higher Self and be happy, peaceful and fearless. When this happens they are able to “live life” and achieve their dreams. This is freedom!

Sudhaji and Gary Newton founded OM Wisdom Center for Enlightenment to help others transcend their suffering. They pour their passion into programs that awaken people to their higher Loving Magnificent Selves. “We strive for heaven on earth, a place that is loving, peaceful and kind - a world where there is no separation or division, only Oneness.”

What does “spirituality” and “enlightenment” mean to us?

We are not here to tell you what to do, what to fix, or to try to get you to believe in this or not to believe in that. Those are your decisions to make.

We are simply here to help you to end any suffering that you are going through by guiding you into a journey of discovery. There you will find the “real why” of your suffering so and with this spiritual wisdom, you can be lead your life in an enlightened manner.

Spirituality and Enlightenment to us are not really two words, but one. For us, it means living life in a loving, happy and peaceful way for no reason at all! It’s being awakened to your higher Loving Magnificent Self, free from the interference of the chattering mind. Here you’ll find quiet, stillness and freedom from suffering.

What would it be like to wake up each morning and be absolutely happy for no reason at all? This is spirituality and enlightenment to us!

Sharon (“Sudhaji”) Newton has, for more than 30 years, been helping people of all ages, as individuals and in groups, transform the quality of their lives, including internationally. She is a spiritual wisdom leader, facilitator, speaker, event coordinator, mentor, author, teacher, entrepreneur, primary caregiver for a loved one with dementia, plus a real estate investor. Her certifications include: Core Transformation Psychology, Healing Energy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programing and Hypnosis. She holds a BS from Kean College (NJ).

Sudhaji has also done a tremendous amount of volunteer and community work: lectures, meditations and other programs with organizations such as, Senior Source senior center (NJ), Kean College, Mental Health Association suicide hotline (NY), Richard C. Ward Treatment Center (NY), Saint Barnabas Hospital hospice center (NJ), You Can Thrive cancer support center (NY), Toastmasters, Rotary clubs and thorough programs and missions in India and South Africa.

As Sudhaji tells it:

Everything back then was so painful for me. I was emotionally and physically drained. I would do almost anything to numb the overwhelming amount of pain and hurt. My psychiatrist wanted me on anti-depressants but I didn’t want those. Nor did I drink. My drugs of choice were comfort food, sleep, and over-the-count sleep aids. I’d sleep as much as possible and, when awake, just shut down and walk around like a non-participating zombie. I tried to mask myself from experiencing severe depression and physical pain. But there was no masking my deep anger and disappointment about my life.

I turned my anger inward and it spiraled into deeper cycles of fear, anxiety, grief and worthlessness. It drained my energy. I couldn’t focus on anyone or anything but hurt. I thought that no one could really understood the suffering I was in, not even my new husband. I was mad at God, thinking that he didn’t care about me because if he did, why wouldn’t he stop my pain and suffering. No one could help me be happy again.

It was also affecting my second marriage and that was also about to end. I took my anger out on Gary. I already believed that I always lose what I have so why not cause it to happen sooner rather than later? It was taking it toll on him, too.

I was hopeless and started thinking and acting suicide. Gary eventually accepted my fate because he knew that if I truly wanted to take my life, I’d find a way. He told me that he eventually only wondered “not if, but when, where and how.” One time, he even took a butcher’s knife out of my hand as I was about to plunge it into my heart. It wasn’t that I wanted to die. No, I wanted to live just like everyone else. But I wanted the pain to end and suicide was the only way I could see that happening.

One night, I had a dream about a man dressed in robes who told me I would be helping humanity end their suffering. I woke not knowing what that meant, and not really believing it, but it did open up a little hope in my heart. At this point I was so desperate that just a little hope was enough for me to take action. I dove in head first and immediately found myself unlearning a lot of stuff: that I am not my suffering, not my body, not my mind nor my illusions. Of course I resisted, who wouldn’t? But I stopped hiding this time and eventually accepted my “masks.” Once I accepted, embraced and loved the truth of it all, I was free from the limitations of the mind. That’s when my whole life changed. I felt alive again! When I told Gary, he said that for the first time in eleven years he felt like a suit of lead melted off his body all at once. Finally. Free of depression.

The wonderful gift I discovered was that there is hope no matter how bleak it feels. I did find a way to end my suffering without drugs or alcohol. It saved my marriage, too. My whole spiritual experience was amazing, beautiful and powerful. I was enlightened about life and I want to share that with as many people as possible.

Today Sudhaji lives a "Whole New Life" as an enlightened being who has awakened into her higher Loving Magnificent Self. This state brings awareness for living a conflict free life. She and her Gary healed their marriage and are best friends. This is why she is so passionate about helping others awaken and why she and Gary founded OM Wisdom Center for Enlightenment.

Her book will be out soon.

We are skilled motivational speakers. You can book us to motivate your audience or employees by having us speak at your events or organization.

The on-going well-being of the people who work in your organization or company is key to its ability to maintain cost-effectiveness, agility and competitiveness.

When your people's mental, emotional and physical wellness starts to slip, how well can they do their jobs? How effective can they be with your customers and clients, or even with their coworkers? At what point will they need to prioritize their attention on their condition rather than on performing at their best? How will this affect the rest of your group? How many replacements will you have to hire and train?

If you are looking for an effective program help protect the wellness of your organization's employees and your investment in them, or even the clients who use your services, we would be glad to tailor a program specific to your company's or organization’s needs.

We invite you to browse through this website to get a sense of who we are and how we can help your employees stress or even your clientele as a supplement to your own services.

A truly happy individual is contagiously happy! And they spread the word.

We have tailored wellness programs for the clientele and/or staff for organizations such as CareOne at the Cupola assisted living center (NJ), Bergen Community College (NJ), Saint Barnabas Hospital hospice unit (NJ), You Can Thrive cancer support center (NY), Senior Source senior support center (NJ), Kean University (NJ), and Richard C. Ward Addiction Treatment Center (NY).

The staff and clientele have included undergrad and graduate nursing students, hospice caregivers, student athletes, cancer sufferers, substance abusers, criminals re-entering society, the management staff of an assisted living center, and independent seniors.

We would love to meet with you to discuss how we can help you help yours.

Programs, Seminars and Retreats

How quickly could you list the ways life would improve if you could get beyond your situation? By the time you’ve started to notice what would be different, you’ve already accepted the possibility that it can.

One of our founders even came out of a suicidal depression once she became aware. It's one of the reason our Center was born.

Gary has worked in the health industry for over 30 years. Coaching, mentoring, and facilitating personal and professional change, he helps others uncover and use their own special gifts and talents. Having the gift of remaining calm despite utter turmoil, Gary excels at helping those who suffer see light at the end of the tunnel. Calling on his experience as spouse and caregiver during his wife’s period of debilitating personal trauma (see Sudhaji's bio), Gary brings the caregiver’s story to the table. That said, he’s not free of trauma himself: the gas pipeline explosion mentioned below, a divorce, a major car accident, multiple company reorganizations, being laid off after twenty-five years with his company, and is the son of a parent who did commit suicide.

Gary’s volunteer work also includes some of the same work listed in Sudhaji’s bio. He is a certified practitioner of Ericksonian Hypnosis and of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. He is also a skilled “IT-Guy” and one helluva facilitator. His hobbies include writing, graphic arts, photography, music production, reading, driving, technical IT projects, figuring out how things work, designing solutions, and fixing stuff around the house.

The stress is affecting you and those around you.

About Us

Her passion for helping others was born from having transcended years of suicidal depression to emerge into a new state of consciousness and a whole new life of inner peace, joy and happiness.

Numerous, overlapping personal traumas threw Sudhaji’s life into a rapid tailspin. A physically and emotionally abusive first marriage lasted only four months. This was while her younger brother’s illness was taking his last few months of life.

Also during this period, she injured her leg at work and suffered chronic and very severe, sudden spasms that left her in bed unable to move for days at a time. Though diagnosed with PTSD, tens of doctors could not fix the problem and the

resulting surgeries almost left her leg amputated. Her numerous unscheduled sick days cost her her job as a professional network engineer.

During her convalescence, she had to escape a major gas pipeline explosion at her apartment complex by fleeing without her crutches, causing further damage to her leg. There was nothing left of the building but dust. Everything in it, and all the cars parked near it were destroyed.

Three concurrent law suits related to the medical and explosion incidents, a divorce proceeding, countless medical procedures, as well as the compacted timeframe of all this trauma left no room to emotionally process any of it. The result was eleven years of suicidal depression. It was quite the training ground for the work she does now.

Book Sudhaji to speak at your next event
Sudhaji has done motivational speaking for years in venues such as hospitals, assisted living centers, colleges, cancer support centers, addiction treatment centers, senior centers, hospice centers, Toastmasters and Rotary Club. Her audiences have included undergrad and graduate nursing students, hospice caregivers, student athletes, cancer sufferers, substance abusers, criminals re-entering society, the management staff of an assisted living center, teenage orphans, independent seniors, Toastmasters and Rotary Club members, and, of course, the general public. She has also spoken to groups in India and South Africa.

Sudhaji captivates her audiences with highly motivating stories about how she transcended eleven years of suicidal depression and emerged into a truly happy and peaceful person. Her passion in life is to inspire others to live happy, successful lives and help them be their Loving Magnificent Selves.

Having survived more severe, often overlapping traumas than most people face, she has the unique gift of a having such a wide variety of experiences that people instantly connect with her: divorce, chronic pain, a gas explosion, PTSD, escaping from an abusive relationship with just what she could throw into her compact car, multiple surgeries, loss of a job, anxiety, fear, self-esteem issues, career challenges, grief from the loss of loved ones – be they human or pet, loss of her home and everything in it, women’s issues, multiple concurrent law suits, not being believed by medical professionals, caregiver to a loved one with dementia – the list goes on.

This background enables Sudhaji to relate to her audience in a way that speaks from experience, not theory. Her listeners respond instantly because they can tell that she is speaking from having “been there.” This touches them deeply because she knows what they are feeling. It’s often said, for instance, that you can speak about divorce, but can only “know” divorce if you’ve been through one.

Sudhaji speaks from her heart with wisdom and passion and she reaches into the hearts of her listeners to guide them along an enlightening journey. She skillfully unfolds her powerful story of transcendence using both humor and inspiration to bring them into a whole new way of living where they, too, can transcend their own challenges and uncertainties.

She encourages them to step beyond their limitations and conditioning to shift to a higher state of consciousness that will help them face, without suffering, whatever life throws at them whether in their personal, public or business lives.
She speaks from having been there. She changed her life from “giving up and suicidal” to “being happy and at peace.” She motivates others to shift their lives as well.

The book about her life story is in progress.

- Why this program?
  Cast New Boundaries and Dance Beyond Them!
  Inner journey. Mystical Secrets. Quiet the mind.
  
  Throughout ancient times, enlightened mystics, sages, shamans and Sufis have journeyed inward to connect to higher energies and awaken to the universal infinite heart. This universe infinite heart is their true Self - oneness with all there is.
  
  “Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
  ~Rumi
  
  Dances Beyond Boundaries is for you, just as in ancient times, to awaken your own universal infinite heart.
  
  This program is designed to help you face today’s challenging times. You see, life is nothing but a dance! Each one of us has a dance. You can move through life dancing someone else dance as if it were your own, or you can free yourself to dance your own dance! Dancing your own dance is the language of the infinite heart.
- What will I learn?
  Gathered in a safe, loving and non-judgmental environment, we work with unique and rare music from all around the world to guide your journey. We use rituals, drumming, dance, healing energies, sacred sounds and mantras, and Dhyana yoga for chakra meditation. These techniques help turn your attention inward to quiet the mind as the dancer disappears to transcend time and space – you become one with the dance.

  Shadow Dance: Journey safely out of limiting beliefs and move beyond them
  
  Tribal Dance: Let go of the dancer (the ego) and disappear into the dance

  Self-Confidence: Discover a profound new power within!
- What people are saying
  - Louise Northcutt, Warwick, NY: "When I attended Sharon (Sudhaji) Newton’s workshop, I was immediately struck by her warmth and the relaxed atmosphere she and her husband, Gary, created. After a brief introduction and opening ritual, she guided us into the dance, with Gary as the music master. Sharon’s authentic presence, humor and verbal guidance made it easy to turn attention to what my body wanted to do. We were then lead to recall a time when we asked someone to do something for us and they refused and to notice whatever feeling we had from it, whether it was anger or feeling upset about it and dance it. This process of recalling a feeling of anger and expressing it personally and creatively, with body movement, was a powerful exercise.
  
  It was a way of feeling it fully and safely. She then guided us to form groups of three and each of us danced our anger dance for the others while they watched. Then I watched as the two other members of the group danced my dance for me. I ended up feeling far from angry, feeling joy and amusement at seeing my anger dance danced by others. I also understood something about my fellow dancers by dancing their dance. It was a way of knowing them swiftly and directly that might not be achieved, even with many hours of chatting over coffee.
  
  This was just one of at least five improvisational dances we were guided through. Each one offered tremendous opportunity for insight and self-awareness. The three-hour workshop, besides being a chance to move to great music, showed me aspects of myself related to personal power that I am ready to look at more fully as well as an understanding of the value of body movement and empowerment. It was a Friday evening well spent. I am so grateful to Sharon and Gary Newton for providing this opportunity."
  
  - Mary Gravelle Wisdom Painting and Art, Vernon, CT: "I loved the entire program. Meeting Sudhaji was a treat. She has a soothing way about her- loving, open, caring, and accepting. Dances Beyond Boundaries makes so much sense to me. Are you dancing your own dance or someone else? This is an intriguing question to ask ourselves from moment to moment. Sudhaji programs are wonderful she does a terrific job in creating sacred safe place, which is the most important aspect to creating an inviting atmosphere where people can relate to one another. She did that and I felt like each person there left safe and comfortable, including me. I am glad I join it help me a lot."
  
  - Kathryn Yarborough Therapist, Chester, NY: "Sudhaji tells us, 'Put it in your dance.' A group of women, I among them, got together to transcend “our stuff” in dance. Together we did the Confident Dance, the Blaming Dance, the Anger Dance and other dances. We danced alone and together. We danced self-consciously until we became unconscious of ourselves. We danced until we understood that it is all a dance; who we are and who we pretend to be, it’s whatever dance we choose. This night we danced a tribal dance among the scents of incense burning, in a wide open room with subtle lighting; spiritual symbols and rocks that offered their power. Many of us came in with physical complaints.
  
  Many, myself included, had changed their mind about wanting to go for various reasons, but went anyway. For myself, I was told I’d need a biopsy that day. I almost went to a free seminar on cancer screening offered by the hospital that night, but my husband convinced me to go to OM Wisdom Center for Enlightenment instead. 'Get out of your head, if just for one night.' That night I was tired. I didn’t feel like doing anything. When I got to her center, I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t really feel like socializing. My head hurt, my body hurt. Dancing was the last thing I wanted to do - sleeping, what a wonderful therapy - was the very first. 'Why am I here?' I thought.
  
  I followed Sharon’s command – the headache, the pain and the fear, the tiredness and the resistance - I put it all in my dance. Also in my dance was the diagnoses of possible breast cancer. I wasn’t feeling particularly feminine and I was protective of my body. Yet something changed in me as the beat progressed. My headache stopped. Instead, the negative energy was all in my dance. Soon I felt nothing but the vibration and beat if the tribal music.
  
  Sharon had stopped her instruction, too, and danced with the group. Soon I was not conscious of the music at all, but just felt outside of everything – time/space were back there somewhere with my shoes in the hall or my headache, wherever that was.
  
  When the night was over we shared our experiences. I discovered I was not the only one who resisted coming, almost compulsively choosing to stay with my problems and myself. I was not the only one who resisted socializing and then danced freely with everyone in the room. I was not the only one whose physical and mental pain had disappeared into the dance, or whose strength, confidence and courage emerged.
  
  What dance experience teaches us is freedom through, and from the body. The more we surrender into the dance, the more of our souls we regain. Dancing is an act of letting go and in a changing world, the only consistency we can have is to stay moving, keep the dance flowing. The more we cling to temporal things, the less of eternity we hold in our hearts. So dance is a way to let go and grab a hold of what is important and that is us. Whatever our music is, we all do our individual dance."
  
  - Miriam Movsesyan Palisades Park, NJ: "I loved the entire evening. Meeting Sudhaji was a treat. She has a soothing way about her – loving, open, caring and accepting."
  
  - Dara K Ulter Park, NY: “I attended Sudhaji and Gary Newton’s Dances Beyond Boundaries program at the Living Seed Yoga Center. it was the right time for me to do something that would offer me away to empower myself. The music was GREAT! I found the program to be a powerful tool to remind myself to own my own power and to cherish it!"

  Living In Happiness!
  New Consciousness. New thinking. For a Magnificence Life
  
  Everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion, background, financial status or lifestyle, wants to be happy. We often say we want to “find” peace, love and happiness. Imagine waking up every morning happy for no reason at all.
  But life throws us difficult challenges all the time. Relationship turmoil, career roadblocks, health setbacks, financial trouble, you name it. Sometimes it even feels like we keep facing the same problems over and over again. Yes, it might play out with different characters each time, or even with the same people but different situations.
  
  We’re left wondering, “Why does this keep happening to me? How come others have what I want – why not me? What am I doing wrong? Why am I not happy?”
  
  Challenges like these can often surface painful emotions like hopelessness, anxiety, hurt, fear, anger, and feelings of loss and “alone-ness.” These can cause destructive effects such as depression, over eating, stress, pain, lack of confidence and self-esteem issues. We hope and pray that “that other person” will change, but of course “they” don’t, so we stay stuck and can’t see a way out, no matter how hard or how many times we try.
  
  The thing is, happiness really has nothing to do with lifestyle or “finding” or “getting” anything. No, there is nothing wrong with material things, but material things, no matter how nice, only provide temporary pleasure.
  
  Happiness is not pleasure because pleasure is only a temporary high. Pleasure comes and goes like a cloud, or like a car driving past us on the street. It’s that quick. When it’s gone, we start seeking the next high, only to be disappointed when it, too, leaves us feeling empty.
  
  The mind is the root cause of unhappiness. Its nature is to divide and compare. She has this. They have more. I’m lacking that. I’ll be happy once I get over there. To the mind, there is always something more or better “out there.” The mind must do this – it’s not bad or good - it’s just what the mind does. You can never be happy living within the limitations of the mind.
  
  So what is real happiness? True happiness doesn’t come from the mind. You’ll experience true happiness when the mind is quiet and you live from your heart. This is your unlimited Higher Self.
  
  True happiness does not depend on anything in the external world. Just the opposite, in fact - your external world depends on your internal world. Your unlimited higher Self is a higher energy field for you to experience the right clarity, new thoughts, and to take right action in a state of inner peace, happiness and love - for no reason at all.
  
  To have the kind of relationships, career, health and wealth you want,
  you have to awaken into your higher Loving Magnificent Self. Here you will experience a state of bliss and live a whole new life. This is freedom.
- What will I learn?
  The Living In Happiness program is Level 1 program that introduces you to the very basics of how to live in happiness for no reason. This program will give a firm foundation for taking your journey deeper at a later time, should you wish to truly transcend the root causes of your challenges.
  
  In a safe environment with meditations, discussion, music, and visual material, we will take you on a powerful inward journey to discover how the energy of cosmic consciousness can transform YOU. You will:
  
  Learn how the nature of the conscious and unconscious mind limits you
  
  Become aware of how words and thought are energy and how they, along with universal law, create your life experience
  
  Discover how to get to the root causes of your anger, pain, hurt and other obstacles that keep you stuck so that you can be free of them
  
  Once this powerful transform happens within YOU - this is true happiness. This is freedom.
- What are the benefits?
  Experience true calm, peace and happiness
  
  Freedom to face and conquer life’s challenges
  
  Let go of worrying and blame self-criticism
  
  Experience listening without judging
  
  Community of connectedness and share with others

- Why this program?
  BE FEARLESS!
  Life Without Limits!
  
  One of the greatest gifts in life is to BE FEARLESS. Fearlessness blows through obstacles because people like you can set their focused intention on what they want and let nothing stop them. What would be different for you when you learn how
  to do that too? By the time you’ve come up with a few ways, your unconscious mind has already accepted that it’s possible.
  
  Perhaps you already know what you want but don’t feel like you can move from where you are now. Or maybe you’re stuck repeating the same old unproductive patterns. Many people report that they want to move forward but just can’t seem to do that. They want to know why they are stuck and how get beyond it.
  
  When your true nature is out of harmony with your current reality, your life reflects that discord. Your mind tells you over and over that something is wrong. This can cause all kinds of spiritual, emotional and physical conflict within you. You try to avoid the discomfort but you can’t seem to outrun the fears, worries, anxieties and stresses - they just keep growing stronger.
  
  At some point the stress can trigger physical conditions like panic attacks, an irregular heartbeat, sweats and trembling, or shortness of breath. People often tell us that it feels like being pulled this way, pulled back that way, fearing that their next move might make things worse or even toss them into some unknown future. “Will that be even worse than this? As bad as this is, at least I know this pain.”
  
  Fear is not really “about” something, fear is just fear. Fear only happens when you are not living in the present moment. It is an emotion that can result from stories the mind tells you about the past and stories the mind projects from the past into the future. It manifests as you reliving past hurts or worrying about future ones. You believe the mind so much that you identify these stories as who you are! This keeps you stuck.
  
  Fear is a powerful, ancient emotion that has been around for millions of years. It’s not wrong or bad because it serves an important purpose when you relate to it in a useful way – it keeps you safe. But when it starts making use of you, rather than you making use of it, that’s when you become stuck in the past and afraid of the future.
  
  Buddha said, “The mind and body are not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment.”
  
  You have to learn how to live in the present moment.
  
  You can’t change fear, not should you want to. What you CAN change is how you relate to fear. Fear stops paralyzing you when inner transformation happens. All the images and concepts you believe are you are not the real you! Within you is something powerful, non-judgmental and loving that accepts you as you are.
  
  You must transform into this “real you,” which is your higher Loving Magnificence Self. This Self only lives in the present moment, free from anxiety and fear. When this transformation happens, then you can truly be free and enjoy life.
  
  Imagine being able to breathe and relax again in whole new way. What kind of life will you create? It would be a peaceful and happy one, would it not? Maybe you haven’t realized it yet, but the fact that you’ve even read this far means that your subconscious is ready for you to move forward.
  
  Experience inner peace by being the free of the past. Isn’t it nice to know you can?
- What will I learn?
  The BE FEARLESS program is a Level 2 program that awakens you into a new state of consciousness. You’ll go on a deeply inward journey to free you of anxiety, tension and paralysis of the mind.

- What are people saying?
  - Helene Weinberger (NY): This program was great! It was like coming home to peaceful place. Sudhaji is passionate, loving, kinds and compassionate. She guided me to be open, honest with myself, be authentic and loving. I loved everything about the program.
  
  - D. Harmony, entrepreneur, (NY): I remember not too long ago I was feeling depressed, lost and confused. I used to feel like an 800 pound body just moving on this earth. I never felt like I had a purpose or that I had accomplished anything.
  Just a few months ago in November my mom broke her shoulder and she got sick. When this all occurred I was heartbroken because I am closest to my mother and I just did not know what to do because now the person that I am closest to might be about to die.
  
  I was screaming inside because I did not know what to do. I hid inside myself and I have all of these fears that keep going over and over in my head. I wish it would stop but the fears just seem to take over my life. I wish my mind would just shut up.
  I put on a lot of weight because I started eating emotionally and I could not help it because food was the only thing that would put me into a comfort zone. I am glad that signed up for the private mentoring program. I wasn’t feeling loving or magnificence but I figure what the hell I have nothing to lose.
  
  After joining the program I started to feel as if all the things that I was busy trying to hide no longer bother me anymore. It felt like all of this weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I was amazed about how much better I felt. My chattering mind calmed down! I was full of energy. I just felt full of life! I realized that all I wanted to do was enjoy my life instead of being afraid. I was full of love towards my family and friends. I have NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE!
  
  I even had the motivation to exercise. I couldn’t believe how easy it was for me to start doing exercises - it was like I was happy to do them. I finally lost weight and feel so much better about myself. My mind kept telling my stories about why I should be afraid of this or that or how I wasn’t good enough, but for the first I did not identify myself as those thoughts or feelings. It was as if those thoughts belong to someone else. I just watched them without feeling connecting to them. I just kept smiling and enjoying everyone around me. I am so happy that I joined the program! I just wanted thank Sudhaji and Gary for their program it changed my life!
  
  - M. Vega (NJ): This program has been monumental and profound in my life. I t has helped me to realize things about that literally changed my life. The good things is that whenever I felt uncomfortable about something that I was feeling about myself, I didn’t want to deal with it. But in this program I learned that I can see it without judging it and without identifying it as me. It’s freeing!
  
  This triggered healing and resolution to the root cause to my emotions. It would be impossible not to benefit from this program! Realizations about myself and how love heals everything. The most powerful thing is not just knowing this but experiencing it. This was truly intense and without a doubt, most profound. I never felt so peaceful before.
  
  This program helped me in dealing with resentment and fear in my life. The energy from this program was great I was able to love me at higher level. It’s not often that we find people such as Sudhaji that have the ability to touch and help you to go within for healing to happen in your life. I got a lot of wisdom, support and love from Sudhaji. I would take this program again.
  
  Learning about myself and the universe as a whole has enriched my life in such a way I never had experienced before. Doing the energy healing, I experienced this force and energy within me was powerful. I can see that we’re all one at any given point. It was a profound realization and experience.
  
  I will cherish what I have learned and experienced. This program has changed my life. I thank myself, God and Sudhaji for this experience. Sudhaji has followed her mission in life and is giving back to the people that are ready to be healed!
  
  - Vanessa H, (NY): I want to thank you Sudhaji so much for the tools you showed me. You have helped me to find an inner peace I thought was not there. Thank you – I got a lifetime gift of meditations. No matter where I am in life I know that I can use these tools to help myself to move away from putting myself down. I can look at things in my life whole different way that will empower me instead of drain me.

- About the program
  It's Your Turn to Be Happy!
  Serenity. Happiness. Peace.
  
  As seniors, you’ve been through a lot by now and you deserve to be happy and enjoy a peaceful existence, do you not? Maybe you haven’t yet imagined what it
  would feel like to wake up every morning and know that you will enjoy calm and serenity whenever you want them. The fact that you’re even reading this means that it can happen for you.
  
  Seniors tell us, “I’m in pain and I’m very unhappy.” This can eventually intensify to energy-draining depression, loneliness and frustration. Or anxiety over finances and independence. Or worry about current ailments and future ones.
  
  Such debilitating emotions can cause, or be caused by, chronic pain and illness, lack of sleep and many other things. They can wear down all aspects of your emotional, mental and physical well being, throwing your body and energy systems out of harmony. But you already know that.
  
  One of the things you’re really going to love knowing is the fact that there’s a way to feel happy again, regardless of what you may be experiencing right now. There’s no need for you to even try to believe that in your mind because we are talking about something beyond the limitations of the mind.
  
  The mind can only compare: I’m feeling better or worse, I have this but I want that, it’s going to be this way versus what it once was. The mind is always telling you that things can’t change for you. But they can indeed!
  
  We can help you get beyond what the mind tells you about your situation in order to experience true peace, calm and happiness. What you’ll experience beyond the mind is freedom and happiness, a new you that is free and independent and living in the present moment, not the past or the future. When you align to your Loving Magnificent Self and settle into a new way of feeling, your circumstances will no longer bother you.
  
  Our job is to help you become aware of, and aligned with, right wisdom that is a part of your return to harmony and wellness: your Loving Magnificent Self. Our OM Wellness Meditation for Seniors program can help lead you there. It is a powerful meditation and is NOT like other meditation programs out there.
  
  We’ve been giving this program for years and it’s been very fulfilling to watch our seniors leave just two hours later feeling peaceful for the first time in decades, if not ever, some report. Many come in with extreme skepticism like “you can’t help me” or “I can’t sit that long.” Sometimes we’ll hear, “I’ve been meditating for 30 years. What can YOU do for me?” They tend to leave with surprised smiles looks on their faces because they never believed they could ever experience this level of peace and relaxation. “What did you do?!” they ask. We just smile back at them.
  
  It has been working for our seniors for years, so we’re confident it can work for you, too.

- Why this program?
  One On One
  Personal attention. Complete Privacy.
  
  Private sessions are offered on a limited basis as a program called One-On-One. This program is for those who, for whatever reasons, prefer to do their program outside of the group setting. Perhaps, it’s a schedule issue, perhaps it’s a privacy concern.
  Whatever it is, it’s okay with us. These sessions are strictly confidential.
  
  The One-On-One program is block of six ninety-minute sessions that are tailored to the specific individual. It starts with a free consultation which allows us to get sense of what you want to get out of One-On-One and which allows you to get a sense of how we can help.
  
  The One-On-One personal journey is about YOU transforming your life to be your higher Loving Magnificence Self. This journey calls on ancient wisdom to lead you to experience a powerful shift that enables you be who you truly are. Here, you can manifest what you want in life. This is being truly happy, loving and peaceful for no reason at all. This is freedom.
  
  This is an intense program and you should only participate if you are truly, truly serious about investing in yourself and making meaningful change in your life.
  
  Many people like you have already been helped by One-On-One: veterans, moms, dads, entrepreneurs, teens, teachers, senior citizens, nurses, attorneys, caregivers, psychiatrists, leaders, people from all faiths and philosophies and people from all other sectors of life.
  
  They come to us looking for help in a variety of areas:
  People who feel something is “missing” in their life
  People who have been in traumatic situations like war and natural disasters
  People who feel that their Divine has forgotten them
  People dealing with PTSD, dementia, hoarding, depression, anxiety, grief, people-pleasing, lack of self-esteem, hopelessness, pushing people away, suicidal, substance abuse, eating disorders, anger, relationship issues, loneness, fears, stress, health issues, family problems, career issues, women’s issues
  People who really want to be happy, peaceful, healthy and full of energy
  
  Everyone wants harmony and balance in their life. They want to experience inner peace, be happy, have enough money, be successful, be healthy and be in a healthy relationships. Right? Imagine how you would be if you were free from what bothers you. Imagine how free and happy you would be.
  
  But it can sometimes feel like life has other plans for you. It sends you health problems, relationship issues, financial troubles, the death of loved ones, the loss of a house or a job or a business, to name just a few.
  
  These kinds of challenges can often deplete your energy and leave you depressed, afraid, feeling stuck, rejected or afraid to risk. With such little little energy, you’re always tired. You could probably list several more things about your own situation, couldn’t you?
  
  Thing is, when things are not going as we wish they were, we are uncomfortable with the misery it brings. We try to escape from that suffering by running from it, numbing it, blaming someone of something else for it, ignoring it, hiding it, compartmentalizing it, putting up walls to protect ourselves from it, all just to find some moments of comfort and peace.
  
  But the peace doesn’t come so we go seeking. We believe that we’ll be happy, at peace and loved once we get what we want from “out there.” We leave one relationship or job for another or go from place to place only to find out months or years later that we’re still in the same place we started out at: unhappy. And we wonder why nothing seems to be changing no matter how hard we try.
  
  Why does this keep happening? Who wouldn’t be tired of living like this?
  
  The only way to manifest what you want in life is to first end your inner the conflict. Your external world is a reflection of your internal world. It’s easy to believe that what’s happening in your external world is causing your unhappiness. It’s how we’re used to thinking.
  
  But that kind of conditioned thinking keeps you stuck in the same old patterns and you’ll go through the same issues over and over again. The faces and situations may change, but you will replay the same unhappiness because you have not freed yourself from what’s really going on within you.
  
  You think we know why these things keep happening to you, yet they keep repeating. It’s because happiness has nothing to do with knowledge – it has to do with the right wisdom to unlearn your views, concepts, images, assumptions, judgments, old habits and conditioning.
  
  To be happy, you must experience who you really are: your Loving Magnificent Self. Right wisdom will help transform you into your Loving Magnificence Self in a state of consciousness beyond the mind. In this higher state of consciousness the mind is still and quiet.
  
  You have to get beyond the mind to be free of your inner conflict. This is freedom.
  
  The beautiful thing about this journey is that you do not have to take it alone. We will guide you.

- What people are saying?
  - Anthony J. Programmer, NJ: I am a veteran. When I returned home from the war, I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I tired meditation and psychotherapy but nothing was really helping me. I was suicidal and deeply depressed which ruined my marriage. My wife and I finally divorce and the only thing that was barely keeping me alive was my two kids. I heard about OM Wisdom Center for Enlightenment from a dear friend of mine. I didn’t want to go but one of my children told me that I needed to get some help. She said to me that she didn’t want to lose her father again.
  
  I didn’t want to be around large groups of people so I did the private sessions. This program completely changed how I look at myself and life. What I learned helped me to shift my perception about my wife, my trauma but most off all about ME!
  
  If felt like all of the negative thoughts I was so attached to melted away. I didn’t feel angry anymore. The panic attacks and mood swings where gone. The wall I use to keep up to protect myself disappeared. I feel free to talk with other people without the anger and fear. I am no longer on medications. I called my ex-wife and apologize to her. Our relationship is a lot better and I don’t argue with her anymore. I am closer to my kids. I’m so happy that Sudhaji helped me to get my life back. I am so thankful!
  
  - Rebeca McVea: When I originally made the decision to go to a consultation with Sudhaji, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was longing to become closer to God and have a certain level of peace within me that I didn’t feel l had. I wasn’t sure how things were going to turn out because, I felt that I didn’t have any major traumatic experiences in my life that affected me; so I thought.
  
  Before coming to Sudhaji, I would find that I was always concentrating on the thoughts that I “didn’t want”. These thoughts would play over and over in my head about different situations in my life. Sudhaji helped me to have that peace and closeness with my God that I was looking for.
  
  With the tools that Sudhaji showed me, it allowed me to appreciate the current job that I was in at the time (that I once disliked); this allowed a powerful shift to happen within me to be grateful to the universe and towards my god to occur. In this program, it allowed me to be open to receive a new job! My outlook on things in my life are so totally different, things that once affected me no longer do. I have learned so much. I am living a whole new life! Thank you Sudhaji
  
  - Barbara Hall, mother / teacher (NJ): I had been depressed for 12 years. Medication wasn’t real working for me. I felt alone and stuck in life. I thought my life was over. A friend of mine told me about doing a one-on-one Sudhaji.
  
  My girlfriend told me how it helped her. I told my friend that I don’t have anything to be happy about! I didn’t think anyone could help me or understand my pain. I been to so many doctors and I was still depressed. Nothing in my life seem to be changing at all! I decided to attend Sudhaji’s Be Peaceful-Be Happy-Live program!
  
  THANK GOD I WENT!! – After day 3 my depression was gone. When I saw my girlfriend she asked me about my depression, I said what depression! This program saved my life. I am happy and enjoying my life!
  
  - Patricia Quinn Ms, ATR-BC, CASAC, UnionVille (NY): Sudhaji is courageous both in her faithfulness to her considerable spiritual gifts and in her commitment to furthering others’ personal and spiritual growth. Her thoughtfulness, genuine warmth and unconditional caring makes her deserving of our trust and attention.

How do we know it works?
We know from first-hand experience. Listen to Sudhaji, one of our founders:
I was stuck in a suicidal depression for many years. Gary, my husband and co-founder, only wondered how and where he would “find” me. Once I became aware of a true way out, I took action and once I awakened, I started living a whole new life.

We know we can help because we’ve been there. We know what’s possible. If it can happen to regular people like us, it can happen for you too! It’s why we founded Om Wisdom Center for Enlightenment.
This is a beautiful opportunity to create a new YOU - one that is happy, peaceful and “alive in life.” Today is the right day to start a whole new life!
Who should attend?
Our programs are for individuals, groups, men, women, and anyone from teens to seniors can benefit. But let’s not forget that caregivers often need help, and often ignore, managing their own well-being while caring for others.

We also offer private sessions for individuals. We would also be happy to customize a program for your particular organization or company.
What we ask of you
We only ask one small favor of you and that is: please leave your mind outside with your shoes!
What people are saying
- Louise Northcutt, Warwick, NY: "When I attended Sharon (Sudhaji) Newton’s workshop, I was immediately struck by her warmth and the relaxed atmosphere she and her husband, Gary, created. After a brief introduction and opening ritual, she guided us into the dance, with Gary as the music master. Sharon’s authentic presence, humor and verbal guidance made it easy to turn attention to what my body wanted to do. We were then lead to recall a time when we asked someone to do something for us and they refused and to notice whatever feeling we had from it, whether it was anger or feeling upset about it and dance it. This process of recalling a feeling of anger and expressing it personally and creatively, with body movement, was a powerful exercise.

It was a way of feeling it fully and safely. She then guided us to form groups of three and each of us danced our anger dance for the others while they watched. Then I watched as the two other members of the group danced my dance for me. I ended up feeling far from angry, feeling joy and amusement at seeing my anger dance danced by others. I also understood something about my fellow dancers by dancing their dance. It was a way of knowing them swiftly and directly that might not be achieved, even with many hours of chatting over coffee.

This was just one of at least five improvisational dances we were guided through. Each one offered tremendous opportunity for insight and self-awareness. The three-hour workshop, besides being a chance to move to great music, showed me aspects of myself related to personal power that I am ready to look at more fully as well as an understanding of the value of body movement and empowerment. It was a Friday evening well spent. I am so grateful to Sharon and Gary Newton for providing this opportunity."

- Mary Gravelle, Wisdom Painting and Art, Vernon, CT: "I loved the entire program. Meeting Sudhaji was a treat. She has a soothing way about her- loving, open, caring, and accepting. Dances Beyond Boundaries makes so much sense to me. Are you dancing your own dance or someone else? This is an intriguing question to ask ourselves from moment to moment. Sudhaji programs are wonderful she does a terrific job in creating sacred safe place, which is the most important aspect to creating an inviting atmosphere where people can relate to one another. She did that and I felt like each person there left safe and comfortable, including me. I am glad I join it help me a lot."

- Kathryn Yarborough Therapist, Chester, NY: "Sudhaji tells us, 'Put it in your dance.' A group of women, I among them, got together to transcend “our stuff” in dance. Together we did the Confident Dance, the Blaming Dance, the Anger Dance and other dances. We danced alone and together. We danced self-consciously until we became unconscious of ourselves. We danced until we understood that it is all a dance; who we are and who we pretend to be, it’s whatever dance we choose. This night we danced a tribal dance among the scents of incense burning, in a wide open room with subtle lighting; spiritual symbols and rocks that offered their power. Many of us came in with physical complaints.

Many, myself included, had changed their mind about wanting to go for various reasons, but went anyway. For myself, I was told I’d need a biopsy that day. I almost went to a free seminar on cancer screening offered by the hospital that night, but my husband convinced me to go to OM Wisdom Center for Enlightenment instead. 'Get out of your head, if just for one night.' That night I was tired. I didn’t feel like doing anything. When I got to her center, I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t really feel like socializing. My head hurt, my body hurt. Dancing was the last thing I wanted to do - sleeping, what a wonderful therapy - was the very first. 'Why am I here?' I thought.

I followed Sharon’s command – the headache, the pain and the fear, the tiredness and the resistance - I put it all in my dance. Also in my dance was the diagnoses of possible breast cancer. I wasn’t feeling particularly feminine and I was protective of my body. Yet something changed in me as the beat progressed. My headache stopped. Instead, the negative energy was all in my dance. Soon I felt nothing but the vibration and beat if the tribal music.

Sharon had stopped her instruction, too, and danced with the group. Soon I was not conscious of the music at all, but just felt outside of everything – time/space were back there somewhere with my shoes in the hall or my headache, wherever that was.

When the night was over we shared our experiences. I discovered I was not the only one who resisted coming, almost compulsively choosing to stay with my problems and myself. I was not the only one who resisted socializing and then danced freely with everyone in the room. I was not the only one whose physical and mental pain had disappeared into the dance, or whose strength, confidence and courage emerged.

What dance experience teaches us is freedom through, and from the body. The more we surrender into the dance, the more of our souls we regain. Dancing is an act of letting go and in a changing world, the only consistency we can have is to stay moving, keep the dance flowing. The more we cling to temporal things, the less of eternity we hold in our hearts. So dance is a way to let go and grab a hold of what is important and that is us. Whatever our music is, we all do our individual dance."

- Miriam Movsesyan Palisades Park, NJ: "I loved the entire evening. Meeting Sudhaji was a treat. She has a soothing way about her – loving, open, caring and accepting."

- Dara K Ulter Park, NY: “I attended Sudhaji and Gary Newton’s Dances Beyond Boundaries program at the Living Seed Yoga Center. it was the right time for me to do something that would offer me away to empower myself. The music was GREAT! I found the program to be a powerful tool to remind myself to own my own power and to cherish it!"
What is OM?
OM is the universal Source heart. People use many other names for OM, like: The Presence, awareness, Bhagavan, God, Christ consciousness, Krishna, Loving Magnificence Self, Higher Self, the Light, cosmic, stillness, the Universe, the Great Mother, the Creator, the Divine, just to name a few.

OM is “one,” unity, undivided. It also means we are all connected as one.
What is Wisdom?
To be fully alive to life you need right wisdom. The mind stores knowledge, but not right wisdom. There is nothing wrong with knowledge, but the mind (ego) feeds on knowledge and unhappiness. Right wisdom only happens only when you get beyond the mind – where the ego has disappeared.

Right wisdom lives in the present moment where you are peaceful, loving, and blissful without interference of the chattering mind. Here, you are free from all personal suffering because your heart has awakened. Here, you are truly a Divine Being - one who lives from the heart!
