HEALTH BENEFITS
Illnesses and ailments arise due to imbalances of the subtle energy system. Through Sahaja Yoga, one awakens the dormant primordial Kundalini energy and it starts enlightening the subtle energy centers (chakras) within you. You can then heal, correct, balance and nourish the subtle energy centers (chakras) through simple cleansing techniques taught in Sahaja Yoga. As you become more centered and balanced, your state of health improves and you become more immune to illnesses. As Shri Mataji Herself says, "Once you are properly established, you don't have to worry about your health at all."
The health benefits of Sahaja Yoga have been documented by medical doctors and psychologists, and confirmed by clinical studies and research. Many have also cured themselves of ailments such as high blood pressure, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer etc.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
In her book "Stress Management through Sahaja Yoga", Shri Mataji explains the relationship between the nervous system and our emotional, physical and mental health. According to Her, the left and right sympathetic nervous systems correspond to our Yin (our emotions, desires and the past) and Yang energies (our action and futuristic thinking) respectively. Stress is a product of imbalance between the two energies, as well as an overworked and over-exhausted sympathetic nervous system.
With Sahaja Yoga, one can learn to balance these two energies and enjoy a more balanced state of living - staying alert yet being peaceful and calm.
SELF DEVELOPMENT
The awakening of the dormant spiritual Kundalini energy brings about improvements and positive changes in our personality. With practice, one will discover that many innate qualities of our energy centers (chakras) start manifesting and being expressed in one's life. We become automatically very dynamic, creative and confident, while at the same time becoming very humble, loving and compassionate. Many individuals, who practice Sahaja Yoga, also discover their own innate talents and potential in many areas (e.g. art, music, public speaking etc) and gradually develop these skills to levels they never imagined possible before.
The practice of meditation also improves one's mental focus, concentration and energy levels. With a calm yet alert mind, it is no wonder the practitioners of Sahaja Yoga take on an air of confidence in dealing with life's challenges.
