“Sahaja” means “born with you” or “spontaneous.” Each of us is born with a potential energy that, once activated, calms us down. This potential is shown as a coil in the triangular bone (sacrum) in the diagram at right.

The result of practicing Sahaja Meditation is a feeling of relaxation and peace. The meditation activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps return all systems to “normal” after overactivity or stress.

Some people feel different sensations in parts of their hands, and those sensations correlate with different qualities, such as generosity, creativity and the ability to forgive. A cooler sensation indicates that a certain quality is stronger. For example, a cooler feeling in the thumbs means a strong, positive creative potential.

Not only is it easy to learn the techniques of Sahaja Meditation, it is easy to give the experience of the meditation to others. A candle, once lit, can give light to any other candle.
