1. It’s easy.
You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear my mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun. As long as you keep up the daily 10 minutes of meditation, you will find that you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis.
2. It’s free.
You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you miss attending classes one week just pick them up the next week. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga Meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whoever desires it, at no cost.
3. You can see results.
With online yoga classes you feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centres)and through the meditation techniques learned along the way, you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centres. If you feel unwell, you can meditate and use the techniques you’ve learned to heal your chakras. As you feel the centres clearing, your health improves.
4. It’s all-inclusive.
All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. Through meditation, the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints are easily revealed and understood. In fact, you’ll find that since you’ve been meditating, you can understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha, and Mohammed.
5. You’re your own boss.
You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don’t have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people in Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you.
6. It’s everywhere.
Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation program that you can attend. Whenever you get a chance, and no matter where you are, you try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation.
7. It’s portable.
You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation.
8. It makes sense.
Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in this meditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable.
9. Everybody does it.
When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do this meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody.
10. You feel good.
Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate, you feel better whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not.
