How to Do Sahaja Yoga Meditation at Home (Step by Step)*
If for some reason it is not possible to go to a center, we can also receive Self-Realization while sitting at home. Through this, we can experience the divine vibrations received through Sahaja Yoga, and with regular meditation, we can also attain greater depth. So let us understand the meditation process step by step. First, choose a quiet room in your home and sit comfortably on the floor or on a chair.
We should place a photograph of Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in front of us. If a photograph is not available, you may look carefully at an image of Mother on your mobile phone once and then close your eyes. Invoke the Adi Shakti (Shri Mataji) in your heart and pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please come into my heart. Mother, I wish to attain Self-Realization. Mother, please bless me and grant me my Self-Realization.”
Focus your attention on the very top of your head (the fontanel area), which in the language of yoga is called the Sahasrara. If too many thoughts arise, pay attention to the breathing process; hold your breath for a few moments and the thoughts will also stop. Understand the meditation steps properly before beginning the meditation. During meditation, pay attention to the position of both palms. Divine vibrations can be felt in the palms and at the fontanel area of the head.
*The meditation steps are as follows:*
1) Keep the left hand open in your lap. Place your right hand on your heart and pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, in Your infinite grace, I am a pure soul.” (Repeat this seven times.) Keeping the hand in the same position, meditate on the heart for a few moments.
2) Place the right hand on the earth and pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please draw all obstacles from my left side into the earth element. Please bring balance to my left channel.” Keeping the hand in the same position, meditate for a few moments.
3) Bend the left arm at the elbow and raise it toward the sky. Keep the right hand open in the lap. Pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please draw all obstacles from my right side into the sky element. Please cleanse my right channel.” Meditate in this position for a few moments.
4) Place the right hand on your forehead and respectfully bow your head forward. Pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, I have forgiven everyone, and I have forgiven myself as well.” Meditate in this state for some time.
5) Place your right hand on the top of your head at the fontanel area. Pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please grant us our Self-Realization.” While moving the palm in a circular motion over the fontanel area, repeat this prayer seven times. Move the hand up and down over the fontanel area once or twice and try to feel the vibrations. Gently place both palms in your lap facing upward.
Try to experience a cool breeze (divine vibrations) on your palms or above your head. Do not think about anything (thoughtless awareness). Simply remain peaceful and feel this divine love (supreme energy). The experience of Sahaja Yoga is best in collective meditation.
