Sahaja Yoga Meditation

ABOUT

“If you lead a good, healthy life, you have to exercise and meditate. If you meditate you become peaceful. With that peace, you’ll be amazed, you’ll have so much of energy.” Shri Mataji – founder.

Nobel Peace Prize nominee
Shri Mataji was a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, recipient of the United Nations Peace Medal and was twice honoured by the United States Congress. She was internationally recognised for her contribution to humanity through a lifetime of work for peace and the wellbeing of mankind. She received awards and citations from the governments of many countries in recognition of her selfless efforts for social improvement.

‘Shri Mataji’s discovery brings genuine hope to humanity.’
Claes Nobel, (grandnephew of Alfred Nobel, Nobel Peace Prize Foundation) Chairman of the United Earth Organization.

In 1970, after studying the field of medicine and focusing on the scientific terminology of the anatomy and human physiology, she started Sahaja Yoga, which she insisted be shared with all, at no cost. In keeping with her principles, Sahaja Yoga meditation is now offered in over one hundred countries worldwide, free of charge.

International recognition
Shri Mataji dedicated her life to helping humanity realise its innate spiritual nature through an experience known as Self Realisation. In recognition of her lifetime’s tremendous work of transforming humanity, through collective en masse Self Realisation, she has been publicly acclaimed and awarded honours by the Governments and leaders of many nations. Shri Mataji’s core teaching is that within us all lies a transformative potential, which can be awakened through Self Relaisation and by doing so, we can bring peace and wellbeing to ourselves, our families, our social institutions, our nations and our world.

During these years, she gave over fifty public lectures around Australia, without charge. Over the years, many tens of thousands of people attended her talks.

About the meditation

The meditation is based on connecting with our inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing our subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which is to be in the present with no mental thoughts of the past or future. Short guided meditations with affirmations are used to clear and balance the subtle body to enable the silence of meditation.

During the meditation, participants sit on a chair (with shoes removed to connect with the mother earth) with hands on their laps.
