Human beings are always busy with one or the other worldly things in the material world. Plan after plan go through the human minds whether the plan is successful or not. With this kind of situation any body will say “I can’t get thoughtlessness”. One has to try and retry. After all it is he who can get that thoughtlessness after his constant efforts. The founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, has been giving this precious knowledge to the mankind since May 1970.
Sahaja yoga meditation is very simple process. One can receive his/her Self Realization (connection with Self) while sitting in a simple posture. The only condition is he should have sincere desire to have it. While sitting in a comfortable posture, keep both left and right hand on lap with the palm upwards. The right palm has to be placed on various parts of the body on left side as advised by experienced sahaja yogis, while keeping your eyes closed for the entire duration. This way the seeker will be free from distractions and able to keep attention (chitta) inside.
After the end of meditation, one feels relaxed and thought process slows down or gradually disappear. This is the first stage of meditation – thoughtless awareness – where there is full alertness without any thought, in a state of pure and peaceful consciousness.
Seeker experiences a sensation of a gentle cool breeze flow in palms and above the head. This breeze may be warm in the beginning which is a sign that Kundalini energy is purifying the chakras, but it will eventually cool down. If the seeker is unable to feel it, then probably he has not forgiven everyone. He has to say again from heart, “Mother, I forgive everyone” a few times and check again the flow of cool breeze.
Mataji has said, “This is the beginning of a fantastic journey into your own spiritual existence. It is a door opened to a new dimension of your awareness, which you can open and explore. If sustained through regular
meditation, you will be able to feel your subtle centers (chakras) as well as the chakras of others on your fingertips, and correct them using your spiritual energy (Kundalini). It is everyone’s right to achieve this state
of ones evolution and everything necessary is already inbuilt. But as I respect your freedom, you have to have the desire to achieve this state, it cannot be forced upon you”.
