We’re all familiar with the use of the verb “meditate.” By now, you’ve probably heard more than one person proclaim, “I meditate daily.” But – if we take a closer look – is there something inherently wrong with that statement?

What do our perceptions of others reveal about our own personalities? A lot, researchers are discovering.
According to a recent study that explored perceiver effects, how positively you see others may be linked to how happy, kind-hearted and emotionally stable you are. In contrast, negative perceptions of others are linked to higher levels of narcissism and antisocial behavior in the perceiver (Wood et al., 2010).

While most forms of meditation rely on generic mind exercises, Sahaja meditation is based on an intricate subtle energy system within us. This system is so intricate that its components have built-in, perfect mathematical ratios and proportions.

While we may all have different perspectives of what “purpose in life” means, most any definition would include having a sense of meaningfulness and direction and a feeling that life is worth living. Purpose is a psychological tendency to draw meaning from life’s experiences. It embraces a sense of intentionality and goal directedness — inner directedness — that becomes a compass to guide our behavior.

Distilled to its purest essence, purpose could perhaps be thought of as the reason for our existence.

Today’s political situation rouses understandable fear and worry. In an effort to deal with these unsettling feelings, many are turning to forms of self-help for relief, including meditation. While we steer clear of political alignment or opinions here at Sahaja, we can help shed some light on this problem at a deeper level. In addition, our guided meditation sessions serve as a great starting place on your journey of self-improvement, empowering you to be a witness to drama without internalizing fear.
