Benefits of doing Sahaja Yoga Meditation

The experience of discovering one's inner subtle self is unparalleled. And if you’re seeking to explore this spiritual self-journey in a near-effortless manner, Sahaja Yoga may be exactly the vehicle you’ve been looking for. 

Once the light is shining within, you discover your chakras and come to understand how nourishing them produces lifelong improvement of your personal qualities. Over time, you become a more spiritual and subtler person. You develop a heightened awareness of the virtues in life that really matter.

During this spiritual journey, Sahaja Yoga helps you focus your attention on specific chakras and developing the qualitative aspects associated with those chakras. For example…

▪    At the first chakra (Mooladhara), you rediscover your childlike innocence and innate, intuitive wisdom.

▪    At the second chakra (Swadisthana), you discover and tap into your creative instincts.

▪    The third chakra (Nabhi) helps you develop a sense of contentment and master your accomplishments.

▪    The fourth chakra (Anahat) helps you open your heart and show tremendous compassion to everyone around you and nurtures family relationships.

▪    The fifth chakra (Vishuddhi) enables you to be an effective communicator and helps you achieve a sense of perspective, a balanced, healthy emotional detachment in stressful situations and diplomacy and eloquence in all aspects of your life.

▪    The sixth chakra (Agnya) helps you forgive just about everyone and everything, so that you can move forward without hangups or grudges and identify with your free and powerful Inner Self.

▪    Finally, the crowning glory of Sahaja Yoga is the opening of the seventh chakra (Crown or sahastrara), which integrates all the qualities within you and enables you to remain connected to nature and to the universe and feel that you are an integral part of it. This transformative connection enables you to understand the deeper, true meaning and purpose of your life and, ultimately, achieve your highest potential.  

The sense of inner calm that you experience during Sahaja’s state of meditation boosts your emotional resilience, which ensures that you can effectively cope with stressful life events now and over the longer term. The Kundalini energy is a living force that is not only working for us during meditation; it's working for us at all times. Sahaja Yoga provides all the benefits offered by meditation since meditation is the key vehicle through which you can achieve this ultimate spiritual union. Sahaja Yoga can go well beyond achieving the typical benefits of common forms of meditation.

Sahaja Yoga helps restore balance and a sense of well-being and improve self-esteem. It also revitalizes energy, restores optimism, peace and contentment. You’ll develop the ability to self-regulate your attention and focus on the present moment with curiosity, openness and acceptance. You’ll find that you’re able to observe and monitor your thoughts, feelings and sensations as they’re happening. The result is increased self-awareness, intuition and introspection. Your communication skills improve and your compassion and empathy for both self and others is enhanced. You become attuned to both the flow of energy and information within your own mind, as well as to the minds of others. Your overall personality improve. Your relationships improve. Creativity, focus, productivity and decision-making ability improve.

The constant practice of meditation in Sahaja Yoga enhances emotional stability by helping you self-regulate your emotions and respond to life’s stress reflectively, rather than reflexively. The present-centered awareness that results from the meditation allows helps you manage negative thoughts and feelings and regulate self-damaging emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety and feelings of low self-worth. You’re better equipped to confront and solve your problems, rather than just feeling guilty about your “mistakes.”
