What is Meditation
In today's world of stress and fatigue, many different types of meditation are being taught and practised throughout the world. Sahaja Yoga meditation is all about connecting with your subtle aspect, awakening of the primordial energy that lays dormant that cannot be achieved through mental or physical activity. Meditation is a state where we are not thinking of or imagining anything or anyone and our attention is on our Subtle System. It is not something we do, it is a state we reach, known as the Thoughtless Awareness also knowns as "Turya" or "Nirvichaar Samaadhi" in Sanskrit. We have to de-condition ourselves, move away from the reliance on the mind to another subtle and a more powerful aspect of our own good self, the primordial mother energy, Kundalini. When we meditate, we have to try to get to this state (thoughtless awareness).
Meditation is the personal experience of going beyond one’s thoughts, worries and upsets and being in a state of peace and calm. After the ‘true yoga’ or union has taken place, this state is quickly established. Meditating for even 10 to 15 minutes a day nourishes and improves the individual’s connection with the supreme spirit – the source of all peace and joy. There can be immediate benefits in stress relief & contentment. It has been scientifically shown that regular Sahaja Yoga meditation can reduce certain illness. It helps one attain balance and enlightenment.
