Upcoming events.
Our classes will include a brief introduction to Sahaja Yoga Mediation followed by the experience of Self-Realization (Guided Meditation)
It is achieved through a process that awakens the dormant energy called Kundalini that within each human being. Once the Kundalini is awakened, the individual experiences a blissful state of thoughtless awareness, where the mind is silent and they simply witness the present moment.
“Sahaja Yoga means 'born with you'. 'Saha' means with, 'ja' means born. This right to unite with God is born with you. As soon as you are born a human being, this right you have. And that is why human beings are seeking. They are somehow aware of that right.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
London, 1980
"This Kundalini, when She passes through these six centers, She enlightens those centers, nourishes those centers and integrates them - so in totality you are all right. It's not like, that one part of the body is treated, another part is neglected - in totality, in the whole balance. And She puts you in the central path of balance."
The aim of meditation is not to experience something extraordinary and spectacular, rather it is to become extraordinary. It is the rare experience of going beyond all expectations we've conjured with the mind and instead being simply silent inside. At its essence, it is to be yourself through and true. This is Sahaja Yoga.
That being said, on the path to self-realisation through meditation different people will have different experiences, ranging from simple to more profound to ecstatic. Yet, as sustained meditation develops and improves, it begins to enhance the way in which we engage with our world on a daily basis.
A genuine state of meditation, where the mind is completely silent yet alert, can have an incredibly soothing impact on our psyche. Thankfully all of us can reach this state thanks to a powerful living energy within us called ‘Kundalini’ in Sanskrit. When this energy is awakened it spontaneously cleanses us of any tensions. In this way we naturally transition into meditation.

Thoughtless Awareness
Thoughtless Awareness", where the mind is silent and you simply witness the present moment. Through this meditation we will come to the realization of the joy of unification with the Self. The experience of complete inner peace and love. You will understand and feel, the real experience, the state of meditation
Kundalini
The Kundalini energy generally starts out dormant. The aim of meditation is to awaken this energy so that its qualities can be manifested. It can be awakened through our power of pure desire, the desire to know our true self, our spirit. In other words, the desire to have our self realisation. When the Kundalini energy rises through our Chakras, it releases these tensions and therefore cleanses us of imbalances.
“This Kundalini is the spiritual mother of every individual.” - Shri MataJi Nirmala Devi
Vibrations
The clearer our chakras become through regular cleansing by our Kundalini, the greater our sensitivity to Vibrations. Vibrations are the physical manifestation of our Kundalini, and can be predominantly felt at the top of the head and on the palms of the hands. Thus, when the Kundalini is raised a ‘cool breeze’ can be felt at the fontanelle area. Similarly, when the Kundalini reaches this point this coolness can be sensed on the palms of the hands.
Testimonials
“Betty N has been coming for 3 months. She told us today that she feels very empty on the days she skips meditation. She, today, feels the importance and benefit of the Divinity within and taking her spiritual journey day by day.” - 2023

Sowmya practices isha yoga .. she did not feel anything after realization. After balancing left and right channels, vibrations were flowing but felt warm on Sahasrara.
David after receiving his self-realization, his kundalini was pulsating in his Vishuddhi. Instructor was wondering how to “work on him” through online class. After Left and Right side balancing technique, David felt Cool Vibrations flowing.
