Sahaja Yoga

You don’t have to spend a lifetime living as a recluse to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to spend weeks in silence or give up anything. Meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily meditation practice you will be able to achieve deep and peaceful meditations on a regular basis.

You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn’t matter. You just pick up again when you can manage. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost.

You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. You start to feel your chakras (energy centres) and through the meditation techniques learnt you can understand the vibrations of your subtle energy system. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you have learnt to heal your chakras. As a consequence your emotional and mental state and your health improve.

All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. Through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. You will find that since you have been meditating you will come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha, Mohammed and Jesus Christ.

You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; sitting at the beach, walking in nature or listening to a concert. Thoughtless awareness -the state of meditation- is easy to achieve, if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation.

Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yoga Meditation. You may learn some new things, for example, about the chakras and their respective qualities. Once you have a chance to experience the state of meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable.

In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something universal.

You meditate and grow at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. Sahaja Yoga Meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. Of course, there are many people practicing Sahaja Yoga, who can teach you a great deal about yoga and meditation and its various techniques. But ultimately, all you need is within you.

Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. No matter where you travel, you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation meeting for you to attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, you can link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation.

Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. You may have a deep blissful meditation or just feel more relaxed and peaceful, either way you, your family and friends are reaping the benefits.
