We will experience the awakening of a divine mothering energy within us that gently takes us into a state of silence.

Learn how to calm your attention, reduce your thoughts, and increase your enjoyment of inner silence.

Our attention can move into the past or the future, making it a challenge to meditate. We will learn about the three energy channels, and how to balance them so that we can be in the present, and on the path to our spiritual ascent.

We discuss the innate qualities of the subtle energy centers (chakras) within us. We will learn how we can imbibe these qualities in our daily lives through Sahaja Yoga meditation

In Sahaja Yoga we use the natural elements of water, earth, fire, ether, and air to deepen our meditation. The foot soaking technique helps us clear our subtle system and increases our enjoyment of the meditation.

We will steady our attention and learn to identify and clear out the imbalances affecting our subtle being. Gradually, we'll go deeper into our own subtlety, silence, and self-knowledge.

We will demonstrate the cooling effect of ice to steady our attention and make us less reactive.

When our left channel clears out, we can feel how much we are loved by the Divine.

We become our own gurus through the daily practice of Sahaja Yoga. We stop arguing with ourselves. We accept and follow our own inner guidance. We leave behind all extreme behavior, whether it’s over-indulgence or over-strictness.

We will focus on the first energy center, the Mooladhara Chakra. In Sanskrit, "Mooladhara" means support of the root. This chakra is the base of the subtle system. Its innate qualities are purity, innocence, joy, and wisdom.

Swadhishthana, the second chakra, is the center of creativity, pure knowledge, pure desire and pure attention. The power of pure desire within us guides our spiritual journey. Opening this chakra helps us to let go of our need to control, so we can allow the divine power to work things out.

The third chakra, the Nabhi, is where our seeking for spiritual evolution originates. When this chakra clears, we experience our own divine qualities of satisfaction, generosity and peace.

Let’s collectively open our Heart Chakra so we can feel our innate qualities of love, compassion, security and fearlessness.

We will put our attention on the Vishuddhi Chakra to strengthen our sense of self-respect and respect for others. The power of this chakra also helps us to be a detached witness of the drama of life.

To open the Agnya Chakra, let’s learn to forgive. This clears the subtle pathway to be connected to the all-pervading power of the Divine.

At Sahasrara we can let go of all our worries, opinions, and frustrations. We can offer them to the silence above the top of the head. This is where our attention joins the universal, Divine attention.

We enhance the experience of meditation by going deeper into the silence within us. Discover the power of a mantra, or prayer in Sanskrit, to clear our chakras and strengthen the state of meditation.

We will sustain longer periods of silence using the techniques learned so far.

Our focus will be on taking full advantage of our self-realization by going deeper into the meditative state.

In our last session of this series, we integrate all that we have learned. We look within ourselves and see how much we have grown in our awareness. You'll find out what comes after this course to continue further with your journey in meditation. If you have missed a few sessions, don't worry because this entire course is available on our YouTube channel.
