Sahaja Yoga Meditation Introductory Course

Why is Sahaja Yoga Free-of-charge? Self Realisation is the birthright of every human being, so it wouldn't be right to charge for it. How is Sahaja Yoga funded? There is a minimum of organisation in Sahaja Yoga, and the little there is, is done on a voluntary basis. It doesn't cost much anyway. We do accept small donations for room hire, but the rest is covered by donations from practitioners and well-wishers.

Sahaja Yoga was started by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 It is based on ancient knowledge It is unique because it gives you a spiritual awakening (known as 'Self Realisation') straight away You can prove everything about it yourself by using the new sensations in the fingertips and other parts of the body it gives you

In todays course, you will:

Get your "Self Realisation" Learn how to Meditate and work on yourself Understand the principles of how to work on other people Learn some basic techniques for clearing your chakras Learn a little about "Sahaja Yoga"

Working on other people

You can work on others in the same way that you work on yourself It doesn't matter where they are even on the other side of the world! Working on others helps to clear your own Chakras You do it by feeling their chakras in your own fingers

If you were going to work on somebody, you would: Stand behind the person to be worked on Raise your kundalini and bandhan. Then do the same with the other person Put your attention on their chakras See what you feel in your fingers. (You
should feel different tingles etc.to what you normally feel)

Point your fingers at the lowest chakra where there is a problem Hold your other hand palm upwards in front of you Allow the vibrations to flow in to the chakra The tingling should eventually stop. Move on to the next chakra up

It's time to try being worked on

Sit with your palms upward on your lap as before Somebody will stand behind you and work on your Chakras Notice any different sensations on the hands or other parts of the body Enjoy the Meditation

Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yoga:

Shri Mataji gave the world en-masse Self Realisation and she also showed us how we can live together in the future in a better way. While she was with us, she encouraged us to come together as much as possible to experience the collective joy that is possible when the people of the world all have their Self-Realisation. The more you you go deeper with Sahaja Yoga, the more you experience its benefits

Estimated 2M+ Sahaja Yogis worldwide SY is now in almost every country

The next item is a film about the life of Shri Mataji, called "Freedom & Liberation". This lasts for about 20 mins. It shows how, in her own country, India, she is regarded as a "Saint", and she talks about her reasons for starting Sahaja Yoga in 1970.
