Dear All,
Many
of you may have noticed that meditating daily allows you a little space
each day in which to nourish, repair and create your real and authentic
self. This then gradually begins to have it's effects on your outer
life by giving it new meaning, purpose and satisfaction. How does this
work?
According to Sahaja Yoga understanding, which is not contradicted by medical science, the 3 great organs of the body are the brain , the heart and the liver. These 3 organs represent our intelligence, our passion/emotion and our attention/creativity respectively.

Because
of the sometimes unfavourable circumstances of life we are not
generally able to integrate these 3 aspects of our personality, or
necessarily fully express them. The result can be a feeling of
dissatisfaction with life and it may not be clear to us where this is
coming from.
This dissatisfaction, in many cases, is being blamed on the effects of the sometimes meaningless grind of daily life, usually in the context of career and work. It has been suggested that this is evidence of a "midlife crisis" happening to people at an earlier age and a number of solutions have been offered, many of which involve quitting a job( see links below).
However, it may not always be easy to change your job to a more satisfying one; or start your own business or drop everything and go travelling; even winning the lottery is not always the answer.

Shri
Mataji once remarked that the increasing stress and dissatisfaction
that many people are feeling is an indication of a collective
unconscious urge for something higher, a new freedom. This is the
unconscious urge to kundalini awakening, which represents the
evolutionary breakthrough in human awareness/consciousness.
It
is no surprise that over the past twenty or thirty years, the interest
in meditation, from TM to Mindfulness, has gradually gone mainstream;
everybody seems to be doing some form of meditation or wanting to learn.
In evolutionary terms this is the equivalent of ancient fish* massing
in shallow water, growing legs from modified fins and then walking
onto land to become the first amphibians.
There's
no doubt that , based on experience, when the kundalini is awakened and
regular practice of meditation is established, then things do begin to
fall into place in a very satisfying way.
As
the kundalini begins to fully integrate the chakras, like pearls on a
string, she is also integrating the personality and bringing into
harmonious working the subtle controlling power of the brain, heart and
liver, which could be described as the 3 parts of your Happiness.
Happy meditating!
See you at group meditation on Tuesday.
