Meditation is a State, not an activity
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?
Ancient Wisdom in a Modern Package
The practice of genuine meditation and yoga—specifically Sahaja Yoga, our original name used worldwide—traces its roots to ancient scriptures and discoveries dating back thousands of years.
Modern creations and concoctions of mind control techniques and trendy yoga poses can only take you so far. They exist largely because we either don’t care to explore our traditions, lack the time to discover them, or remain blissfully unaware of what our ancestors already perfected. And let’s be honest—there’s the irresistible lure of quick money from offering superficial benefits. (Hard to charge premium rates when students realize mastery takes decades, not a weekend retreat.) While most contemporary offerings provide some benefit, they lack the underlying depth and intricacy of traditional systems.
They largely exist to cater to the growing demand for yoga and meditation offerings. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) found in 2022 that the adoption of yoga has increased 3 times and meditation 2 times over the past 20 years. It also found that roughly 55 to 60 million people in the US practice some form of yoga or meditation. It’s easy to understand why the “average offering” out there has to make money to take advantage of this trend, almost no one cares about offering what’s real, ancient or authentic. Almost no one that is. Sahaja is an exception because we are committed to that very cause and mission and all our offerings have zero commercial intent.
The practice of Sahaja is infinitely intricate. Let’s discover some of these intricacies and explore how we can harness them in practical, tangible ways. Indeed, Sahaja offers ancient wisdom in a modern package.

The guided meditation that we offer here at Sahaja Online provides many benefits, and different people experience the effects in different ways. Far too often, people want to quantify things, but this is not always possible.
There are some human experiences that cannot be adequately conveyed in words. You may have an innate intuition that is telling you there is some type of underlying force or energy that has everything to do with the way that events unfold around you. Many people have become interested in so called “new age” theories and philosophies over recent years. There have been many books and movies released that have given people a lot of food for thought.

Guided Meditation and the Collective Unconscious
You may wonder why Sahaja Online offers guided meditation sessions that include hundreds of participants at the same time, and the answer lies in the concept of the collective unconscious. In the West, the noted psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote a lot about it. In essence, he contended that by virtue of being human beings, we all have access to the shared memories of the species.
