Sahaja Yoga is a meditation practice founded in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
The word sahaja comes from Sanskrit:
saha = “with”
ja = “born”
Together, sahaja conveys the idea of something that is “innate”, “natural” or “born within us”.
The central principle of Sahaja Yoga is that every person possesses a dormant spiritual energy known as Kundalini, symbolically located at the base of the spine. Through a process called Self-Realization, this energy is said to awaken spontaneously and rise through the subtle energy centres (chakras), leading to a state of mental silence, inner balance, and expanded awareness.
The practice typically includes:
✴︎ Meditation
✴︎ Simple attention and awareness techniques
✴︎ Chakra balancing
✴︎ Affirmations and, at times, mantras
One of the distinctive aspects of Sahaja Yoga is its belief that the awakening of the Kundalini can occur naturally and effortlessly. Following the vision of its founder, this experience is traditionally offered free of charge by practitioners, making the practice accessible to anyone wishing to explore it.
