Dear Friends,
A lot of us are interested
in Meditation techniques, in Yoga, or looking for spiritual
enlightenment. In 1970, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi started to
give seekers of truth their self-realization through Kundalini
awakening. This process known as "Sahaja Yoga
Meditation" is offered by the way of free sessions all
over the world.
This newsletter informs you
about the benefits of Sahaja Yoga. Moreover, it is a resource
for those just starting their journey and are anxious to go
deeper into the experiences of Meditation. This newsletter
also informs you about Sahaja Yoga events and extends a
personal invitation to join us.
In order to provide
interesting and relevant articles, your feedback is important
to us! Please feel free to let us know about the subjects that
might be of interest to you so we can help you in your
journey. Send us information to contact@sahajayoga.ca.
We hope you will also consider attending our free classes, as
they are the practical experiences which complement the
newsletter.

What is Meditation?
What do I feel in Meditation?
How is Sahaja Yoga Meditation different from other kinds of
Meditation?
Meditation
Meditation is for you to go deep down into
yourself. When you meditate you are in silence, you are in
thoughtless awareness… then the growth of awareness takes
place, and then it opens out. To achieve that height of
detachment, of understanding, is only possible through
meditation.
Meditation is the only way you can enrich yourself with the
beauty of Reality… there’s no other way… to rise into
the realm of divinity.
Sahaja
Yoga
First is 'Yoga' which means the union of your attention
and your spirit. These two must meet, unless and until they
meet, you cannot reach your Absolute. Yoga is a living process…
is Sahaj … or spontaneous, easy… All yogas are really
Sahaja... Otherwise whatever people call as yoga… is not
yoga… because union takes place only spontaneously… only
through Kundalini awakening - so Yoga has to be Sahaja Yoga.
Kundalini
Kundalini is the power of pure desire within us, a
motherly and soothing spiritual energy which lies dormant in
three and a half coils at the base of the spinal cord, in the
triangular bone called "sacrum".
Kundalini cures you, she improves you, she bestows all the
blissful things upon you. She takes you away from the worries
of the grosser level.
Self
Realization
That process which occurs as the Kundalini is
awakened, and rises to unite with the all Pervading power…
and which first works on the physical being… then the mental…
followed by the emotional… and finally the spiritual being.
The awakening of the Kundalini is through the central channel,
piercing the seven energy centers finally to emerge through
the fontanel bone (little area at the top of the head.)
Cool
Breeze
Cool Breeze of the Primordial Kundalini… The cool breeze
is all around us… and we can start feeling it in our hands,
when the Kundalini pierces the fontanel bone
and emerges from the top of the head.
It is cool…. because the all pervading power of God's love
is felt like that… when your spirit is enlightened. It
exists everywhere… but you never felt it before… you start
feeling it when your spirit is awakened!
The
Spirit
A modern problem is that we have turned our
attention towards outside things, and to outward development
and to economics, and have lost the inner life… The problem
today, a very subtle problem that people do not understand…is
inside the human being.
People are so restless and full of tension. The problem is
that our attention is not on the spirit, it is outside.
But as soon as we put our attention to the spirit, we find,
amazingly, that everything works out, and that the spirit is
the source of all love, peace, joy and truth. This is an
evolutionary process.
