Have you ever noticed how Science Fiction leads the way in modern thinking? Fahrenheit 451 published in 1953 talked about portable audio—well before today’s earbuds that weren’t popular until 2000. And Jules Verne had revolutionary ideas in the 1800’s like From The Earth to the Moon, which in many ways predicted Apollo 11’s 1969 lunar landing.

People have different definitions of growth and satisfaction when it comes to their profession. Some of the common expectations include more money, promotions, being respected and valued as an expert, being in a workplace with happy and understanding co-workers, a flexible work schedule or working for yourself.  The good news is that practicing Sahaja meditation can help you get quite a few of these benefits if not all.

But are plants capable of recognizing their relatives and acting altruistically like humans are?

With any worthy endeavor, consistency is key. While it’s easy to get started, obstacles will undoubtedly come our way. Sometimes, it can feel like these obstacles are determined to see us fail. And without consistent defense, obstacles can outsmart us, especially when we grow complacent. It’s human nature. Whenever we strive to grow into a higher state – whether on the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual dimension – obstacles are bound to get in the way.

Meditation – and Sahaja meditation in particular – can be likened to a type of workout routine. Just like a fitness regimen, meditation requires working your routine daily for best results, including some collective meditation, too. Meditation isn’t immune and is susceptible to the same dissenting inner voice and subtle negative scripts that discourage any kind of healthy routine.

Here are 7 of the top excuses I hear from my lazy and complacent inner voice.
