Sahaja Yoga is a meditation practice founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970. It aims to achieve self-realization and inner peace through the awakening of the Kundalini, a spiritual energy believed to reside at the base of the spine. Practitioners learn to connect with their inner selves and experience a state of thoughtless awareness. The practice involves simple techniques, including guided meditation and breathing exercises, which help individuals attain a balanced state of mind. Sahaja Yoga emphasizes the importance of collective meditation, encouraging participants to come together in groups to enhance their spiritual experience and foster a sense of community.
