Tuesday, August 12: Library Hosts Intro to Sahaja Yoga

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., will host an evening introduction to Sahaja Yoga, a unique method of mediation based on Self Realization (kundalini awakening) on Tuesday, August 12 from 6-7 pm in the Library's Lee Room. This introductory class is free of charge and no registration is necessary. Sessions will be started every 15 minutes so registration is not necessary and drop-in visitors are welcome.

Sahaja Yoga Meditation is practised by many thousands of people around the world. Its popularity has grown steadily since it was founded in 1970, by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Many centers have been established around the world to offer the public an opportunity to experience this simple meditation.

Meditation is best understood as a state of 'mental silence' in which one is fully alert and aware but free of the unnecessary thoughts or worries that lead to many of life's day to day stresses. This state of silence occurs spontaneously when one learns how to focus on the experience of the present moment, leading to a state of peace and calm. Through a simple process, known as Self-Realization (kundalini awakening) this meditation state can be quickly established, maintained and, most importantly, enjoyed! Research conducted in Australia and elsewhere indicates that Sahaja Yoga meditation can improve physical and mental health plus reduce stress. Recent studies suggest that Sahaja Yoga meditation is unique even when compared to other forms of meditation. People who meditate regularly, using Sahaja Yoga for around 20minutes a day, find they become healthier, calmer and much more relaxed, with an improved outlook on life.

Sahaja Yoga can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age or lifestyle. This form of meditative yoga offers simple techniques that are easy to practice. For more information about this unique form contact Smita at (732)-357-7564 or sahaja.info@gmail.com
