Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness with Daily 10-Minutes Mental Silence.

Avoiding the Jab. How You Can Manage Your Weight, Surprisingly, with Meditation. Dear Friend, I hope you had an enjoyable festive break. Personally, I’m glad that I won’t have to come face to face with another mince-pie for at least another 11 months. And, I still haven’t been able to work out if panettone is bread or cake, despite sample-tasting it like a thousand times in a few days. The result of all this holiday eating is that my trousers may fit me a bit more snugly around my waist. Which I’m fine with. However, they’ll be many people who will be looking to shed any extra weight gained over the holidays. Some of them may choose the increasingly popular means of weight-loss jabs. Apparently, an estimated 1.5 - 2.5 million people are using jabs as their preferred method of shedding pounds. The fact that there can be unpleasant side-effects such as nausea and muscle wastage hasn’t seemed to put people off. If you had been considering the jab, you may be better off in the long-term by doubling down on your kundalini meditation practice instead. The reason why the meditation can help with weight management is related to the underlying psychology of why we eat, when it’s not about the hunger.   The full explanation can be found by following the relevant link in the new section below about evidence-based benefits of the meditation. The other revamp of the newsletter includes occasional contributions from regular meditators. This week, it’s Mitesh Gandhi, an optometrist, giving some useful information about the care of your eyes. And if you’ve already started planning your international travel this year, do take a look at the clickable map below which shows you all the places in the world where you can go and meditate with the locals. Also, if you’ve ever wondered about other peoples’ experience with the meditation, you can now find out by dipping into the new section carrying interviews with Sahaja yogis.   The usual buttons for downloading the free meditation app and joining some live online meditation sessions, remain in place. Have a transformative 2026, both inner and outer, to meet the individual and collective challenges that are coming. Best wishes P. PS.

This happening when it takes place, all these centers (chakras) get nourished. All world problems are due to human beings and all human problems are due to these chakras. If your chakras are put right, all your problems can be solved. So the first thing that happens to you is that you get your physical, mental and your emotional being absolutely into balance” July 23rd 1992, Sofia (Bulgaria) About Shri Mataji (More than Human) Your Question Answered I’m considering a vegetarian diet for the rest of January. Will this help me with my meditation practice? Reply: Where food is concerned, Sahaja yoga is similar to Ayurveda, in that you should try and eat according to your ‘dosha’ (mental and physical constitution) in order to maintain optimum health and balance. It’s easy to know what your ‘dosha’ is in Sahaja yoga because all you have to do is to ask yourself whether you tend to be more ‘left-sided’ (dwelling on past) or more ‘right-sided’ (projecting into future). If you’re left-sided, the recommendation is to  eat a diet with more protein in it (non-veg). And if you’re right-sided, to eat a diet with more carbs (veg). This will help to balance you, by which your meditation practice is benefitted too.
