“He was a big giant of a man…” said the lead protagonist of one of my favorite binge-worthy shows: ‘Newsroom.’ Will McAvoy of Newsroom was concerned about being reductive – his good friend, the producer of the show had passed away and the whole team was looking to Will for some words in memoriam. Strumming the guitar to the tune of ‘went to Memphis…” Will finally finds the words that could somewhat do justice to what was in his heart. The pain, the gratitude and the power of moving memories all gushed forth in a few pithy sentences that served as a soaring memorial to a great character.

It was one of those moments that many of us feel moved by – I certainly was.

The purpose of a human being’s life has been questioned since time immemorial. At Sahaja, we’re happy to tell you that we’re crystal clear about the answers to all questions relating to the purpose of our lives. These are answers discovered by practitioners through their own experience and learned from Sahaja philosophy.

Without further ado, here they are.

The pursuit of money is, in itself, not a bad thing. But when we base our sense of self-worth on our financial success, it can be. We become more vulnerable to negative psychological consequences.

You’re a creative. You’ve spent time finding and honing your craft. Whether your work lands you in galleries, concert halls or in the hearts of those you love, creativity is the stuff your life is made of. When you’re a creative, your life choices align with and complement your work. If you’re a creative type, your emotional intelligence plays a big role in how you as a person come through your work, regardless of the medium you use. This emotional connection to your work enables you to connect with your audience.

Among a myriad of benefits, Sahaja mediation can offer artists and creatives refined attention, purified awareness, and greater emotional intelligence.

Today, many people are turning to meditation to improve and enrich their lives. Yet, many people still think of meditation as a fad, an activity reserved for the mystics and monks. While that’s not true, there certainly are clichés and stereotypes that support this mystical notion about meditation.

I find myself annoyed when I come across these common clichés and stereotypes. When I go online to look for anything even remotely related to meditation, the clichés are unavoidable. I’m constantly trying to explain that meditation is very different than these stereotypes purport. Meditation is so much deeper and more practical than what many people have been led to believe.
