“Love is an energy that makes things grow.”
–This is a quote from Mrs. Nirmala Srivastava, affectionately known as “Shri Mataji”. The Sahaja Yoga Meditation teacher you meet at a weekly meeting might very well have been taught the meditation technique by her personally.
In my Oxford Dictionary of Current English, the original Greek meaning of “ecstasy” is “standing outside oneself.”
Ecstasy is boundless joy. That is only possible when we lose the confines of our separate selves and start to feel we are part of a larger whole.
For most of us, when we enter a state called “Sahaja” meditation, we feel a soft, cool breeze above our head and a cool wind flowing in the palms of our hands.
Sahaja Meditation is the dynamic process of becoming our true selves. The foundation for our growth is inner peace and silence.
Sahaja Meditation is a soothing, relaxing state. Our mind becomes quiet and we start to experience things as they are, without the filtering of our busy, analytical mind.
