Sahaja Yoga Meditation can help bring a greater sense of well-being and balance to your life...
About Sahaja Yoga
Sahaja Yoga Meditation was developed by Shri Mataji Nirmala
Devi. It involves awakening a subtle spiritual energy known as
the Kundalini, which lies dormant in three-and-a-half coils in
the sacrum bone at the base of the spine. The gentle awakening
of this Kundalini energy and the inner journey of
self-discovery is known as Enlightenment
(Self-realisation).
Sahaja means
'spontaneous' or 'born with you'; Yoga
translates to 'union' (with the Divine or
all-pervading power). Sahaja Yoga Meditation then translates
to 'the method of divine union through yoga which
everyone is born with.' Sahaja Yoga Meditation is for
anyone who desires to find his or her true self, which is full
of joy, peace, and love. It is not just a book or a set of
exercises but a living science that will open up to you
gradually as your meditation becomes more profound and your
experience stronger and more fulfilling.
Sahaja
Yoga Meditation classes are held in over 100 countries
worldwide and are always provided free of charge. Right from
the early days, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi made it clear that
this knowledge and the process of union effected by our
Self-realisation is the birthright of every human being and,
therefore, cannot be charged for.

What is Meditation?
Humans are facing unprecedented levels of stress and fatigue
today, and meditation can be a great way to unwind and get
some sense of balance in life. There are, however, many
different forms of meditation practiced around the world.
Sahaja Yoga meditation is about bringing our attention inside
and awakening the primordial energy that lays dormant within.
Meditation is a state where we are not thinking or imagining,
but our attention is on our Subtle System. It is not something
we do, but a state we reach, known as
Thoughtless Awareness
("Turya" or "Nirvichaar Samaadhi" in
Sanskrit). We de-condition ourselves and move away from the
reliance on the mind to another subtle, more powerful aspect
of our own good self, the primordial mother energy, Kundalini.
When we meditate, we try to get to this state (thoughtless
awareness).
Meditating 10 to 15 minutes daily
nourishes and improves the individual’s connection with their
true spirit—the source of all peace and joy. There can be
immediate benefits with stress and contentment levels. It has
been scientifically shown that regular Sahaja Yoga meditation
can cure ailments and attain balance and enlightenment.
