Thanks for Coming!


​Hi there!
Thanks for joining us for the group meditation yesterday. It may take a few more tries for you to begin to feel something. So, as promised, click here for a 10 minute guided meditation to download to your phone.

​Here are the 3-steps to do a sahaja yoga meditation
  1. Raise your kundalini & put on bandhan - click here for demo.
  2. Steadily gaze at meditation photo while paying attention to the top of your head to see if you feel anything.
  3. Close your eyes, keeping focus of attention above your head until you begin to feel sensation of coolness on head.
That's it!
Below are some hints & tips for getting faster and better results and some of your questions answered.
Regards



In your practice of sahaja yoga meditation, there are just 3 things you're aiming for which tell you that you are making some progress: 

1. 'Thoughtless Awareness'  - noticeable mental silence for a few seconds at a time, which then begins to develop.
2. Feeling 'vibes' - sensation of coolness on palms and above head. In the beginning a warmth or tingling sensation may be felt on some fingers.
3. Nourishment - there's the food you eat, then there's 'vibes' . When meditating there is sometimes felt a downward flow of 'vibes' from top of head into stomach. This can have a 'nourishing' effect on your appearance. The first you are aware of it is when family or friends remark on it.


1. Why the photo? - it's up to you. The usefulness of it will only become apparent from experience, so try meditating without the photo to see whether it's easier or harder to feel 'vibes' (cool sensation ) on palms of hands and on head.
Most of us keep the photo framed and also have a candle in front - but again, this up to you. Copies of the photo can be downloaded from here. Why Shri Mataji? Click here for Bio.

2. How often to meditate and for how long?
5-10 minutes in the morning & 5-10 minutes in the evening if you can manage it. To really begin to notice the benefits, try and be as consistent as you can for at least 1 week.

3. Group meditation versus meditating by yourself at home?
Both can help your progress. Practicing sahaja yoga meditation at home helps you to verify your own experiences. The group meditation gives you a booster; plus it's nice to get to know people who share your interest.

4. Sahaja yoga meditation versus mindfulness & other types of meditation?
Ultimately, sahaja yoga meditation is a state of being which is effortless as a result of kundalini-awakening. It is this that gives it a human evolutionary implication which is missing from other meditation practices. See below. 






5. What are the health & well-being benefits of practicising sahaja yoga meditation ?
Dr. Katya Rubia, Professor of Neuroscience at King's College, London, has put together the website below - click here to view
