\"Shri<\/a>When you first attend a Sahaja Yoga public program, you receive your Self-realisation. After this you will be able to meditate immediately. Before you leave the program, you will be shown how to meditate at home each day. Also, you will receive a diagram of the Subtle Body, showing the seven energy centres or chakras, the central channel which goes up the spine, the left and right channels and the places on your hands where the chakras\u00a0are connected to the nerve endings in your hands.<\/p>\n

Self-realisation\u00a0is the term we give to the initial complete rising of the Kundalini within a person\u2019s spine and out of the top of the head. The Kundalini (a Sanskrit word meaning coils)\u00a0is the creative power, or energy, which has created this world and everything in it. It is the female energy of the Divine, God,\u00a0Brahma, Jahweh, or\u00a0whatever name is used in the great religions to denote\u00a0the highest spiritual Power.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0a baby is\u00a0in the womb, it is the Kundalini that creates it. Babies stop growing about two weeks before they are due to be born, and that is when\u00a0the Kundalini coils up in the sacrum bone at the base of\u00a0the spine.<\/p>\n

So, everyone has his or her own Kundalini coiled up in the sacrum bone. When the time comes in your personal evolution to grow from being a limited human being operating from the level of the brain, to an unlimited spiritual being operating from the level of your own Spirit (the reflection of the Divine), the force that created you, your Kundalini, makes that growth happen. It is your own desire that causes this. Your personal desire to have something more than you have now \u2013 some sort of inner peace – will cause your Kundalini to rise up the central channel, inside your spine.<\/p>\n

This happens at the Sahaja Yoga program because the\u00a0person conducting the program is guiding you at this stage. As you are desiring it to happen, your Kundalini will rise through your\u00a0chakras and out of the top of your head, connecting you to the Collective Unconscious, gently and sweetly. At this point you may feel a cool breeze coming out of the top of your head. This cool breeze is referred to in the scriptures of the world\u2019s major religions, as being the sign of the “twice-born”, i.e. people whose Kundalinis have risen. The cool breeze you can feel is your Kundalini. Thousands of people are now at the stage of their personal evolution where this happens. The founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji, calls this mass level of evolution “the blossom time”.<\/p>\n

The Collective Unconscious was so named by the psychologist, Dr Carl Jung, because it is the area from which we receive all the wisdom of the Divine. Some of the dreams we receive come from the Collective Unconscious; some do not. The wisdom received by the great souls who\u00a0wrote the scriptures came to them from the Collective Unconscious when they were in meditation.<\/p>\n

When your Kundalini comes up it connects you to the Collective Unconscious.\u00a0 When you learn, at Sahaja Yoga programs, how to keep your Kundalini up all the time, you will receive wisdom from your meditation, which will improve your daily life.<\/p>\n

The most important time of your life now is when you receive your Self-realisation. You have it because you deserve it.\u00a0It is\u00a0wonderfully exciting to have one\u2019s Self-realisation and be continually growing spiritually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
