You can become your own master

It is possible to become your own master through Sahaja Yoga meditation. What does it mean to be your own master? It means that you are free, not bound by the chains of desires, materialism, hatred, attachments, anger, greed, fear and jealousy. You are able to overcome these negative energies and allow the eternal qualities within you to shine.

How, then, is it possible to become your own master? The first requirement is that you are truly aware of your condition, not through the mind, which is given to rationalisation, but in some other more objective way. This is exactly what happens when you get what is aptly called Self-realisation. You actually start to feel sensations on your fingertips that correspond to your energy centres, and you can also feel the energy centres of those around you, and also whether a place or a thing has a positive energy or not. This is not as strange as it may seem, just re-call your Shakespeare, "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes," and in the Koran "But their hands will speak to us and their feet bear witness to all that they did."

So, once you are able to feel the vibrations of the energy centres, what do you do with that knowledge? By attending a free Sahaja Yoga meditation centre near you, you will be shown a number of techniques that will enable you to bring yourself into balance and also to cleanse individual energy centres.

As a result, it is truly possible to become ones own master.

You can experience mental silence

Sahaja Yoga meditation makes it possible for you to experience mental silence, a state in which there are no thoughts. This is only possible when the kundalini has been awakened and it has opened the Agnya chakra, located in the center of the brain.

At first this experience may only last a few seconds, but with time, this period of thoughtless awareness can be lengthened.

Studies have shown that there is a correlation between the amount of times that people experience mental silence with their health and well being.

By attending a Sahaja Yoga centre (there is no cost) you can be shown how to establish mental silence and to deepen the experience. To find a local centre near you go to Sahaja Yoga near you

Your health improves

Sahaja Yoga does improve your health and there is a lot of research to back this assertion up.

An example of this is Asthma research. The Natural Therapies unit at the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney demonstrated a significant improvement in asthma for patients who were practising Sahaja Yoga meditation when compared against a control group who were not. A double blind, randomised control trial methodology was followed. Results were measured in three ways: through a profile of mood states, a combined asthma score (diary based) and by checking patients to see how responsive their airways were to metacholine.

It was concluded that the Sahaja Yoga meditation group showed a significant reduction in their reaction to asthma inducing substances as compared with the control group, which demonstrated that the severity of their asthma had been reduced through Sahaja Yoga.

The key to inner transformation

Within every human being is a dormant energy waiting to be awakened. This energy is called the kundalini. Once this energy has been awakened it rises through a number of energy centres, pierces the fontanelle bone (the soft area on a baby's head) and manifests as a cool breeze on top of the head, which can be percieved by placing the hand above the head. This awakening of the kundalini is known as Self-realisation.

When the kundalini crosses these energy centres it awakens them and the qualities of these centres start manifesting within the individual. Another very important state occurs, and this is called thoughtless awareness in Sahaja Yoga meditation; a state of mental silence in which we become tuned into the silence of the cosmos. It is not to be confused with a trance state as we remain absolutely alert and aware of everything around us. In this state we truly are in the present: after all if you are thinking then your thoughts are either of the past or of the future; it is not possible to capture the present in your thoughts. It is a state in which we feel truly peaceful, blissful and joyful.

By attending a Sahaja Yoga centre near you, you can experience your Self-realisation. Established Sahaja Yogis will help you to balance your energy centres and and to establish your Self-realisation. Sahaja Yoga meditation classes are always free.
