Sahajayoga Meditation is Always Free
Shri Mataji used the ancient process of awakening the Kundalini as the foundation of Sahaja Yoga Meditation. In the past, the awakening of this inner spiritual energy was achieved by only a few individuals, through arduous efforts of purification, asceticism, and prolonged meditation.
Shri Mataji discovered a spontaneous method to awaken this energy, which requires no previous knowledge or spiritual practice. This spontaneous awakening can then be passed on to others, without the necessity of paying money, acquiring a diploma, or becoming a disciple. “Like a candle that is lit can light another candle.”
It has been introduced in corporations (through the Center for Evolutionary Learning), schools (through the Health Corps and other programs), hospitals, and prisons, with positive, documented results. Self-realization is the name given to this awakening.
The subtle energy known in Sanskrit as Kundalini resides at the base of the spinal cord in the sacrum bone. When awakened, this benevolent, nurturing energy passes upward through the three channels (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna) and the seven nerve plexuses (Chakras) in the body, coming out of the fontanelle area at the top of the head.
One feels this energy as a cool breeze above the head and on the palms of the hands. Sustained through regular meditation, it establishes a state known as thoughtless awareness—where the mind is in silent repose yet perfectly alert.
The experience of self-realization through Sahaja Yoga offers significant benefits to those who dedicate even a small amount of time to daily meditation.
