We can all do with less stress in our lives.<\/em><\/strong> Sahaja Yoga meditation is very easy to learn and is offered free of charge.\u00a0You\u2019re welcome to join us to experience the peace it can offer.<\/p>\n

What is Meditation?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Meditation is best understood as a state of “mental silence” in which one is fully alert and aware but free\u00a0from the unnecessary thoughts or worries that lead to many of life’s daily stresses. This state of silence occurs spontaneously when one learns how to focus on the experience of the present moment, leading to a state of peace and calm. Through a simple process, known as Self-realisation (Kundalini awakening) this meditation state can be quickly established, maintained and, most importantly, enjoyed!<\/p>\n

About Sahaja Yoga Meditation:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Sahaja Yoga is a method of meditation which brings a breakthrough in showing<\/a> how to achieve “thoughtless awareness”. It was founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 and has now spread worldwide.\u00a0 As the potential to find peace inside and experience the true Self is innate in every human being, it cannot become the commodity of any business and cannot be paid for. Shri Mataji states “We cannot pay for our spiritual evolution.”\u00a0\u00a0 Sahaja Yoga classes are free.\"mataji6_jpg_jpg_jpg.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Man in his search for joy and happiness is running away from the Self, which is the real source of joy\u2026 now a method has been found to tap the Divine power.”<\/em>\u00a0
\nShri Mataji Nirmala Devi<\/p>\n

Nobel Peace Prize nomination:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 When Shri Mataji was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, Claes Nobel, Chairman of the United Earth Organisation, declared, “Shri Mataji’s discovery brings genuine hope to humanity.”<\/p>\n

How can it be free?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 People who have experienced its benefit show others how to meditate.\u00a0 It\u2019s that simple.\u00a0 Whether in the public, community\u00a0or business sectors, Sahaja Yoga meditation is available without cost to the general public and to many schools, universities, hospitals, community centres, immigration detention centres and major corporations.<\/p>\n
