Meditation

Once you have settled down, take your attention slowly to the top of the head. At this point we can simply say to ourselves silently ‘please may I go deeper into meditation’ a few times.

After a few moments we may feel tingling, cool or heat on our fingers or a slow ripple of movement along the spine as the Inner Energy starts to rise from the base of the spine to the top of the head. It helps if we try and ignore these sensations to start with, since we are trying to achieve a state of mental silence, where we are not dragged along with our thoughts but simply watch them float into and out of our consciousness.

After a few minutes we may notice that while we are sitting more peacefully, thoughts are still flowing through our minds. This is quite natural and we shouldn’t think that the meditation isn’t working simply because of this continued thinking. Just bring our attention slowly back to the top of the head and try to keep it there. In fact it will take quite a bit of practice before we are likely to notice a significant slowing of the flow of thoughts, but we will experience the benefits of our meditations long before that time.

Once we have been sitting for 10 to 15 minutes or so, we can slowly finish the session. This is a very simple meditation session which you can try for yourself during the day. We should really try and meditate at least once a day and preferably twice – once in the morning to set us up for the day and once in the evening to help us sleep more soundly.

Meditation in Sahaja Yoga is a unique method based on an experience called Self Realization(Kundalini awakening) that can occur within each human being. Through this process an inner transformation takes place by which one becomes moral, united, integrated and balanced which lead to a state known as “thoughtless awareness.” Sahaja Yoga helps you to relieve yourself from all physical, mental and emotional problems leading to a balanced, stress free and peaceful life.
