Sahajayoga in the Workplace
Sahaja Yoga In The Workplace![]() Most of us spend a lot of time at work and we all dream about a workplace where we could deal with enlightened people, integrate work and family life in a balanced and dharmic way, and (bottom line) enjoy what we do and the environment in which we do it.
This section deals with the relationship between Sahaja Yoga and the workplace. It includes articles and stories related by yogis on the way Sahaja Yoga helps them in their everyday life at work. We plan to talk about the various ways in which Sahaja Yoga can affect our life at work, how to improve working conditions and about studies or theoretical contributions made on the more general topic of spiritual awakening and effectiveness of people at work. The reality shows that conventional management practices no longer work. What is more, employees and managers are more and more stressed and are looking for solutions to their problems. The good news is than an increasing number of business people are aware that the rational has its limits and that the solution may come from very different directions such as the spiritual path and Sahaja Yoga in particular. Sahaja Yoga for a Software Designer I'm working as a software designer for a large sized corporation. Having to deal with the computer 8 hours a day is a constant source of imbalances for my attention that I need to constantly watch and correct, as well as my eyes, so that I can preserve a good eyesight without having to wear glasses. Also, being surrounded constantly by a really active group of people, I have to protect myself from becoming overactive - it's really fun to watch myself and where my attention is going, especially when a product deadline is approaching. The witnessing power that Sahaja Yoga gives has many a time been of great help. Every morning when I arrive at the workplace, I always raise my Kundalini with my attention. After raising my Kundalini I take a moment to establish the peace within me by putting my attention on the Spirit in my heart: "I am not this body, mind, or project endeavor, but I am the pure Spirit, and I surrender all the work of the day to my Spirit". Once this point is established, I feel refreshed, centered, and with my attention in the Sahasrara (seventh center, the point of our connection with the All-Pervading Power) I start my work. Oh, how I wish my attention would stay there all the time till it's time to go home ! Well, but fortunately there is a lunch break and other short breaks I can take in the afternoon or even morning if I need to. And it took me a while to learn that yes, breaks are necessary to empty your mind of the work and refresh my attention by enjoying my Spirit for a couple minutes. Luckily I live in a climate where it's summer 9 months of the year and we have a nice little courtyard inside the compound - more of a garden judging by the beautiful trees and flowers. I always take my lunch and a short break in the afternoon and, even if there are other people around, I always look only at the sky, clouds and all the nature surrounding me. After a while of fighting my "continuation thoughts" ('ok, so after lunch I gotta set that parameter to zero cuz' otherwise the analysis will be 12.5% off, plus...'), my mind is put to rest and I become again connected to the nature, to my Spirit, and a meditative state slowly sets in. Back to my cube and can't catch a bug in the program ? I leave it for a few minutes, I go into meditation for a little while and there is a good chance that inspiration will come. "How come I didn't see the obvious?..." Soon it's the end of the day. I have already had a couple short meditations - sometimes the Kundalini comes up by itself so strong that I give up whatever I'm doing and I just enjoy my meditation for even a few seconds. Some of these spontaneous meditations are amazingly beautiful... Outside, a big, huge sky is waiting for me to enjoy. All feels fresh, like I'm just about to go to a big party or celebration. And maybe I'm going to. Making Sahaja Yoga meditation part of the day is my way of being free at work and sharing my joy with others. https://www.sahajayoga.org/researchandbenefits/sahaj_workplace.asp | ||||||||||||||

Sahajayoga Benefits - Physical, Mental, Emotional , Spiritual
Sahaja Yoga Meditation has a beneficial impact on every aspect of a person’s life – our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life. By bringing about an inner transformation, the benefits of meditation accrue not only to the individual but also to the society, the nation and ultimately the whole of humanity. Sahaja Yoga Meditation brings about integration of all the traditional spiritual teachings of the world.
Physical benefits
It is our subtle system which co-ordinates all the work done by the organs and the cells in our body. When one of our subtle centres is blocked, physical dysfunctions appear in the organs it controls. It is then that illnesses appear. Traditional medicinctly addre tries to cure the symptoms. Sahaj meditation allows us to direess the causes, by rebalancing our subtle system and by cleaning our centres using the purifying Kundalini mothering energy within.
Mental benefits
When we enter a state of meditation,we enter the realm of silence, the thoughts which assail us fade away, and the reality of the present is revealed to us in all its intensity. Our senses send us a direct image of the world which is not altered by our mind or our conditionings. The mind even becomes the enlightened servant of our illuminated spirit.
Emotional benefits
When the Kundalini mothering energy is awakened and we are immersed in a state of meditation, our emotions are also brought into balance. All the weaknesses which hinder the expression of pure and sincere sentiments, such as greed, insecurity, jealousy etc. are reduced when the joy of meditation is felt. This joy is absolute, devoid of all duality. This same joy becomes the motivation of our emancipation.
Spiritual benefits
Last but not the least, Sahaj meditation reveals to us the eternal, divine being that is truth, awareness and bliss. We become part and parcel of the whole, like a drop in that ocean of love, and in meditation we melt into that primordial being. This experience is the next stage in the evolution of a human being’s awareness: that person is said to be born again or realized. This means that our spiritual essence, that was previously hidden, becomes reality. We can now set about purifying our inner being, with the help of the self-knowledge that Shri Mataji gives us and the relationship we establish with her in our meditation. Our union with the Divine will become stronger and stronger as we go along and is without doubt the most precious benefit that Kundalini awakening can bring us. This middle way that is established within us day after day by our Kundalini will shower numerous blessings upon us, not only of a physical, emotional or psychological nature, but also mental, social and professional benefits.
From the very beginning, the flow of vibrations help us to decipher and decode messages from the collective unconscious informing us of problems affecting the different chakras. Thanks to our own enlightened attention and the observation of our inner being during meditation, we can know the vibratory state of our own or anyone else’s subtle system.
