1. You must meditate every day like brushing teeth.

2. You must remember rule #1.

3. You must not break rule #1.

4. You must come to our weekly session to recharge your kundalini lithium ion battery.

Many of us would have experimented on ourselves to stop our thoughts and would have realized that we really do not have control over them. The more we try to stop them, the more do they rush into our heads. This chattering monkey in our heads, has no leash. We get thoughts of our past (which is dead and gone) or our future (which has yet to take birth). Both are imaginary situations. But once we get our self-realization, we are able to rein in our thoughts. We are able to achieve moments of thoughtlessness. (With experience, we are able to increase this duration of silence). If you have not achieved this, be patient. May take some time in some cases.

How do we reach this state?

When the Kundalini energy crosses the Agnya chakra, our thought waves elongate and we soon start to see a gap between 2 thoughts automatically. This gap is the state of Thoughtlssness. It is the Present – a state of Mental Silence. This Thoughtless Awareness, is actually the first stage of meditation. In this state we will have no thoughts but we are fully aware of our surroundings. Thoughts now are in our control. If we want to think, we may think but if we do not want think, we could avoid the thought process altogether.

Let us take an example to better illustrate this. Suppose we have a lady sitting and (supposedly) meditating and she hears a loud crash of glass splintering. What do you think would now be going through her. Oh No! These neighbourhood children, brats, were told so many times to play ball in the field behind the house ……. and they did not listen…… What I was afraid of, has now happened…… The patio glass door must have broken…… It’s bitterly cold these days. Now how do we get this fixed? It is Sunday evening….. Wait till I give a piece of my mind to their parents …..

This is a normal situation. But if this lady was actually meditating (and she had received her self-realization), she could have remained thoughtless, if she wanted to. When she has completed her meditation, she could then think of the situation at hand (and if she is detached, will be able to find an answer to her predicament easily).

If we are unable to stop our thoughts, then we should know that we are NOT in a state of meditation. (Meditation is actually a state we get into. We do not do meditation).

What makes Sahaja Yoga Meditation different from all other forms of meditation, Yoga, from ancient philosophies, various spiritualities-

There is a universe within us, which reflects the vast universe outside of us. It is the microcosm reflecting the macrocosm. We as human beings are extremely special in this creation as it is said we are created in the image of the Divine Being, but one must go deep inside to understand that we have to go beyond mental concepts and tap into the energy, which is divine. Shri Mataji

Nirmala Devi, who developed this Sahaja Yoga Meditation, teaches about an energy, which is laying dormant within your sacrum bone. This energy is a mothering energy that is linked to the Holy Spirit, and just like a seed sprouts from the mother earth, a human being gets connected first to his/her spirit that exist within the heart and then to the Greater Being, which exist all around us as complete joy, love, peace… It was said that one must be born again by the Holy Spirit and when one begins this form of meditation http://www.freemeditation.com, just like a computer or television has to be plugged in, you become plugged into the Divine force of the universe.

The absolute truth is that we are not this mind, body, ego, conditionings, past, defined by our occupations, actions, beliefs… we are the pure spirit and when connected, one can feel the love of the Divine flowing into our being and just like a desert flower, we become drenched in the pure refreshing nourishing waters of God, of the Divine and this connection is the YOGA. You do not have to stand on your head, you do not have to leave everything and live in the mountains of India, the mountains are within you as energy centers called chakras, or in the medical field called plexuses, which when awaken by the kundalini, this coiled energy within the sacrum bone, gives us the qualities of the Divine, the connection to the Divine and wisdom begins to flow.

This brings about a physical, spiritual, emotional, mental balance within us as we go deeper into ourselves and learn to silence the mind to achieve a greater connection. We become like hollow flutes, where the All Pervading Power is finally able to bring forth beautiful melodies, rhythms, and glorious songs. Like a lotus that rises out of the mud to receive the nurturing rays of the sun, we rise above our mind to enter a state known as thoughtless awareness and finally enjoy simply “being”. All stress, all negativities… are washed away as we become our higher selves that beautiful radiant lotus blossom.
“Within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There is an ocean of all that. We can not seek it outside. We have to go within.” -Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
