Some of the many benefits of Sahaja Meditation
There are so many benefits from practicing Sahaja Yoga that it
is hard to know where to start...I personally think that those who
benefit most from Sahaja Yoga are those who feel they are not completely
satisfied with their life. Materialism doesn't quite give them the
satisfaction that they believe it will.
That's because they are seeking something beyond, something that
makes us absolutely free of all the attachments and bondages of
life.
This freedom makes us more able to cope with life's ups and downs,
because there is a constant joy within us, which is our Spirit...anyway
read on for some more benefits.
Social
By improving certain chakras we can improve our interaction with
friends and strangers in society. For example people with low self
esteem need to improve their "left vishuddhi" chakra on
the left side of the neck. This chakra when blocked makes us feel
guilty for everything, makes us feel worthless and blocks the joy
of our life. By cleansing this chakra with certain affirmations
and mantras etc. we can rebuild self-esteem, improving our social
life immeasurably.
Emotional
We are freed from the pain of separation to loved ones because
we feel that we are always connected, not just to our family but
to every human being.
Our heart opens to strangers more readily and we become more compassionate
to others than we were before.
Physical
Many people have benefited physically from practicing Sahaja Yoga.
This is due to the soothing effect that the awakened Kundalini energy
has on our nervous system. And also by the amount of energy saved
as a result of thinking less.
Meditation helps to still our over-active minds which cause the
many stress related health problems of this modern era.
Economical
Many people practicing Sahaja Yoga find better employment as a
direct result of the improvement of their personality. They also
begin to feel so much joy from meditation that they find it unnecessary
to spend small fortunes on drink,drugs or excessive material pleasures
just to try to find some temporary happiness in life.
The fundamental law of economics is that.."desires in general
are not satiable"..in other words although material things
like alcohol, clothes or cars can satisfy specific wants, they do
not satisfy our tendency to want more. Hence even a millionaire
wants a million more, even when we get a nice car we want a better
car. However, by discovering a joy & peace so profound in our
own Self we overcome our endless desires and find true "peace
of mind".
Psychological
Many psychosomatic problems and mental confusions can be cured.
