Stress Management Through Sahaja Yoga
(Nirmala Devi)
For Mataji as she is popularly known, peace lies within an individual and it needs to be discovered. According to her, it is essential to go into the meditative state to reach that state. "And it is just the beginning of a transformation that takes us to a higher level of awareness,'' she said.
Nirmala Devi noted that people were not aware of the subtle system that works within every being. Explaining the concept of "kundalini awakening'', she said that the kundalini was the energy that lay dormant in the sacrum (bone at the base of the spine). In a broader sense, kundalini awakening was the process of self-realisation, which helps a person overcome stress and heals the harried nervous system. She believes that self-realisation was a person's first encounter with reality.she has explained that the left sympathetic nervous system, represents the power of desire of an individual, while the right represents power of action. "And it is the left side that you can control," she said, adding that there should be a balance between the two.
Sahaja Yoga aims at achieving holistic health care for people with meditation. Elaborating on the benefits of meditation, she said that a person could attain a peaceful state of mind and still stay alert. "One feels compassion for humanity and is able to let go of anger, hatred, fear, resentment and other negative traits that inhibit a person's growth,'' she said.
Nirmala Devi started the propagation of Sahaja Yoga in 1970 and today over 85 countries the world-over, have Sahaja Yoga centres. Having been associated with the freedom struggle, she said, that this technique of self-realisation also makes a person patriotic. "As those who practice it are above materialism and can sacrifice anything,'' she noted.
Commenting on the human tendency to brood over the past, she reiterated that to feel bad about the past was inconsequential. "If you feel bad, you torture yourself. Learn to stay in the present and stay balanced,'' she said.
