Sahaja Yoga - Pathway to serenity!!

Sahaja Yoga - Pathway to serenity!!

A few weeks back,I attended a Sahaja Yoga session organized by "Young Professionals Network" ,a committee for professionals, as the name suggests in my organization.
I have learnt a few meditative practices including ART of living(basics),simple meditation,traditional yoga.Though I practice yoga regularly,I could not really bring myself upto meditating daily due to lack of time and interest...So I just thought of attending this session for a new experience and learning.It takes just 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the night and you are ready to embark into a divine journey..

Sahaja Yoga is a method of meditation which brings a breakthrough in the evolution of human awareness. It was created by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 and has since spread all around the world.
Sahaja Yoga is different from the other types of Yoga because it begins with Self Realization instead of this being the unobtainable dream of a distant goal.
When the foetus is about 2 to 3 months old in the mother's womb, columns of rays of consciousness emitted through the all pervading power of Divine Love, pass through the brain to enlighten it. The shape of the brain being prism-like, the column of rays falling on it gets refracted into four diverse channels corresponding to the four aspects of the nervous system. They are (see the section on Chakras and Channels):
Sympathetic nervous system - right side


Sympathetic nervous system - left side


Parasympathetic nervous system


Central nervous system

The subtle energy enters through the centers in the brain and precipitates on its way to six more centers called chakras. The residual energy then settles down in three and a half coils in the triangular bone placed at the end of the spinal cord (sacrum bone), known as Kundalini. The fundamental of this living force is self-organization, self-regeneration and ascent. Through self-organization it sustains and protects. Self-regeneration is its innate ability to renew, heal, balance and recycle. Ascent is its capacity to transcend the mind and myth and attain collective consciousness."
