About the Meetings

Sahaja Yoga is easy to learn. At its core, it is a state of inner calm and quiet. Anyone, of any age or any cultural background, can benefit from practicing Sahaja Yoga meditation.
Children are always welcome--they are often more sensitive to feeling the state of meditation than adults, since the goal is the quieting of the endless stream of thoughts.
Each week a different topic or aspect is covered.
Newcomers are always welcome--previous weeks' notes and information are available for anyone who has missed a topic.
Sahaja Yoga is an inner yoga. The process of becoming a more relaxed and balanced person requires no physical or mental effort. Some discipline is required to develop the habit of a daily 5 or 10 minute meditation at home.
We usually begin with a guided meditation, where everyone in the room enjoys a peaceful state of silence and calm.
There is usually a tape or video of a talk by Shri Mataji, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, and a brief lecture and explanation about one aspect of Sahaja Yoga.
Hands-on demonstrations of Sahaja Yoga allow you to quickly learn how to feel your own subtle being and balance and cleanse it.
The meeting usually ends with a second, short group meditation.

What to bring, what to wear

Meetings last about an hour and a half. (Check the details on the previous page; some meetings only run an hour.) You can either sit in a chair or sit on the floor to enjoy Sahaja Yoga meditation. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You can bring something to keep your weekly handouts in, if you like.
