COME MEDITATE IN CONNECTICUT
Know Thyself – A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Meditation
What I learned from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict
I would like to share this article of a dear friend of mine, Axinia. These questions are worth to introspect on. It is only a few people in the world who create all these problems because of greed for power, money or something else. But in general people all over the world in all the countries, people like you and me, just want to live their lives in peace. But to achieve that we have to start with ourselves, we have to find peace first within, then with the others, and go beyond all these misleading ideas that – instead of uniting us – separate us.
The Universal Being That You Are
”Everything is fleeting that is not eternal.
In the present the eternal stays, the rest drops out.
It’s like a moving river that does not stop anywhere, but the moving river is eternal, the rest of the things are all changing.
If you are on the eternal principle all that is not eternal changes and drops out, dissolves, and becomes non-existent.
You have to enjoy the strength of eternity, the strength of divine love, the strength of this universal being that you are.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Delhi. 30.3.76
Happy 91th Birthday, Shri Mataji!
Today millions of people around the world are celebrating the 91th Birth Anniversary of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the Great Spiritual Leader, the Great Visionary. In recognition of Her strength, love, devotion and compassion, many people call Her “Mother”. Those of us who have not heard or read about Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi could be surprised that the personality of such stature has not reached their awareness before… The impact of Her work and Her contribution to the well-being of humanity as a whole is hard to estimate.

50 Balloons and Happiness
Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began – exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness.
Unburden Yourself
Usually our life looks pretty much like this:
Sometimes we do not even have a goal but still face the same challenges. Life can be demanding and sometimes simply overwhelming. Many seek medical or mental help which often results in the intake of drugs with heavy side-effects. No wonder that people are searching for alternative ways.
Nowadays meditation has become really popular and rightfully so! But while meditation in general gives a wide variety of health benefits it does not make you completely free of your problems.
Imagine you have to carry a sack full of stones throughout your life: if you have the choice, would you rather learn how to live with it or get rid of it?
Most forms of offered help show you how to live with your problems and still enjoy your life. With the awakening of the Inner Energy the problem can be removed entirely from your subtle system. Because you perceive yourself in a new way the awakening of the Inner Energy is also called Self-Realization.
It allows you to dive deep into your own personality to explore it, develop it or transform it. In the classes of Sahaja Yoga Meditation you can learn for free how to find out where there is a problem, why it is there and how to remove it. You will be able to develop desired qualities easily and get rid of unwanted ones. It gives you complete control over your life and yourself. It gives you Inner Freedom.

Here is a wonderful experience of a lady who speaks about her “Nabhi Chakra” (the third energy-center) and what happened after she started to bring it into a balance.

The Inner Energy is the key and Meditation the Door into a new dimension of the Self
Meditation as the state of being in thoughtless awareness is the focus point where everything starts.
Here is a guided meditation to awaken the Inner Energy by the founder of Sahaja Yoga Shri Mataji. But even if you have your energy awakened already this meditation helps you a lot to get into the state of thoughtless awareness. Try it! Experiment with it! It is always for free.

Although this blog tries to give as much knowledge as possible (see the step to step guide) and to lead you into the experience of your inner being it actually cannot really replace a collective meeting where you meet like-minded people and experience the power of collective meditations. Also every person might need something different or something more specific according to his/her state so the coordinator of a program can give you great advice that fits exactly to what you need or want to know.
Here is list where you can find the nearest Sahaja Yoga Meditation meeting.
It is all about you and your connection to yourself, to others and to life! And if we can experience it together and share it with each other the better!
Hope to see you all there!
Yours, Angi
The Ocean In A Drop
“You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean, in a drop.”– Rumi
What does it mean when the drop becomes the ocean?
The “drop” represents the small sense of who we think we are – our thoughts, worries, identity, and the feeling of being separate.
The “ocean” represents a deeper reality within us – peace, joy, and a connection to something much greater.
When we go beyond constant thinking and come into a state of inner stillness, we begin to experience that we are not limited to this small identity. In Sahaja Yoga, this happens naturally when the Kundalini rises and our attention moves inward.
In that experience, the “drop” does not disappear – it expands.
You begin to feel connected, more balanced, and less caught in comparison, fear, or the need to prove anything.
What remains is a simple, genuine quality: a good and open heart.
If you would like to experience this for yourself, you are warmly invited to join our free meditation classes—no belief needed, just a willingness to try and see what you feel.
Tribute to Shri Mataji by Claes Nobel, nephew of famous Alfred Nobel
“Peace is not the absence of war but much more. […] Until we have the inner peace in ourselves we can never have an outer peace in our world.”
Claes Nobel talks about self-realization and Shri Mataji´s vision and work.
