Free Brisbane Workshop

If you live in Brisbane or are lucky enough to be visiting in the area, please come along to our free monthly meditation workshop at Wamuran, (60 minutes north of Brisbane) on Saturday 30  January 2010.

People who have previously attended the seminars have remarked that they felt much more relaxed and balanced, and could feel their tensions  melted away by this simple, effective technique.

Here’s a sample of some of the things participants said about the workshops:

“Thank you for a wonderful afternoon, for the peace and friendship.”
“I felt welcome and enjoyed the experience.”
“I am grateful for such a beautiful experience. I felt welcome and believe the experience has opened me up to many possibilities.”
“I found it interesting and enjoyable. The people were kind and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and hospitable.”
“It’s a great opportunity to discover what is within us. We can learn to use the meditation properly for the benefit of our souls and the health of our physical body.”

The workshop, which commences at 2.00 pm, will include a very enjoyable, live concert performed by talented Sahaja Yoga musicians.

The workshop is intended for new participants, as well as those who have never attended before. Please come along, even if you have never meditated before.

The Power of Attention

Shri Mataji

The attention has to be purified, but that you don’t have to do. Your kundalini itself purifies your attention.You become collectively conscious. Many things happen to your attention. Sitting down here you can tell about people, what’s happening to them….

Now the attention manifests itself. It’s another very remarkable thing that’s happened. Like I’m sitting here now and I’m thinking of someone …. If I want, I can think. If I don’t want, I need not think. That is the situation. But after Realisation, if somebody needs your help, you’ll just think of that person and if you think of that person, that person is helped.

Shri Mataji, 1984

Sitting down here you should be able to feel the centres of anybody you want to think of, whether dead, alive or far away. You should be able to say whether a person is a fake or if he is a real person of divinity. That means your computer – the mind that you call as the biggest computer that human beings have got – should become eloquent. Any knowledge that people give you, you should be able to say whether it is a true knowledge or not. That is what in the Vedas is called vidya. Vidya means “to be known on the nervous system”.

Shri Mataji, 1985
