The Art of Meditation Course (Sahaj Samadhi)

EFFORTLESS PATH TO GENUINE RELAXATION THROUGH MEDITATION

Everyone has experienced a meditative state in moments of deep joy, or when completely engrossed in an activity, when just for a moment the mind becomes so light and at ease. While we have such moments, we are unable to repeat them at will. The Sahaj Samadhi course teaches you how.It is a meditation technique that is designed to self-heal and improve the general body health and mind state. This meditation technique almost instantly alleviates the practitioner from stress-related problems.

Sahaj is a Sanskrit word that means natural or effortless. Samadhi is a deep, blissful, meditative state. Sahaj Samadhi meditation is a natural, effortless system of meditation.

Regular practice of the technique can totally transform the quality of one’s life, by culturing the system to maintain the peace, energy, and expanded awareness of meditation throughout the day. These meditation techniques combined with yogic practices can ensure good health and a calm mind.

Meditation allows the conscious mind to settle deeply in the Self, giving it rest
When the mind settles down, it lets go of all tension, making one healthy and focused

How does Sahaj Samadhi meditation work?

The participant is given a mantra which allows the experience of meditation to be deeper. When the mind and nervous system are allowed to repose a few moments in profound silence, the blocks that suffocate our progress gradually dissolve.

Why should we repose in the Self? How is this going to help in our day-to-day life?

When a river is calm, its reflection is clearer. When the mind is calm, there is greater clarity in the field of expression. Our powers of observation, perception and expression improve. As a result we are able to communicate effectively and clearly.

Why do I need a mantra?

In Sanskrit, a mantra is described as, “Manana trayate iti mantra.”. Iti Mantra is that which saves you from repetitiveness. A repetitive thought is a worry. Mantras help to free you from worries.

I had always heard and seen people meditating, but never quite understood what "happens" or what one "does" for meditation ; until 24th Feb 2009 - when I was initiated into the ART OF LIVING Family; with my Part-1 Basic Course. And then - the flight began! I have since then been practicing Meditation everyday! And it has been a truly enriching and transforming experience for me - since every day's meditation brings is different from the previous days! It brings in newer insights, and more depth! I have become more observant of my inner thoughts, and my awareness has increased. Not only that - it has helped me become calmer and centered more focused and also my Intuitive skills have sharpened a lot ever since I started meditating. And the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is like Instant Coffee - in almost no time you're transported to a different realm! Such is the power of the Guru Mantra in Sahaj! Meditation is going to be 1 habit I am going to keep for all time to come! It truly is the art of doing NOTHING!

When I was 16 years, I wanted to do meditation, and started trying it out through books and trial and error. I had one good experience and failed to achieve it later. So I gave up on meditation. Later when I started learning Sahaj, I could relate directly when the teacher said, 'It's not about the experience, but the benefits to your mind and body.' This was such an Aha!-experience, and by proper guidance it has made all the difference in my life.

After completing medical school followed by 4 years of specialty training while being married to a physician and having 3 very active boys, I found it very difficult to sit still and relax. Sahaj Samadhi taught me not only how to sit still, but to feel the stillness inside and to be able to carry that sense of peace with me while in activity.
