Establishing Balance

The Yin & Yang of Life

Today’s fast paced world poses many challenges to a peaceful existence both within ourselves as individuals as well as part of a global society faced with global problems. Climate change, economic and social imbalances, all are symptoms of deep conflict in our human awareness which we cannot balance just by seeking external solutions. Without knowing the true meaning of our existence, we paradoxically continue to search externally for solutions to problems without taking a deep look inside ourselves. If we can connect to our innate nature, we can tap into the source which will provide the solutions.

To find our central path, we need to be aware of our own subtle inner balance. The feminine (yin) and masculine (yang) archetypes mold our personality and express themselves in the nature of our emotions, desires and actions, which influence the subtle balance of energy in our left and right channels. Excessive tendencies in our life style strain this natural balance and we experience physical, mental and emotional problems.

Sahaja Yoga meditation introduces us to new state of thoughtless awareness. In the state of deep silence, we find the right path for ourselves, our fellow beings and our society, and everything unfolds spontaneously, revealing a whole new world beyond our imagination.

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”

Mahatma Gandhi

Sahaja Yoga meditation offers us a unique moment to deepen our spiritual experience in a realm beyond our mind. It's a peaceful time when we can truly distance ourselves from the clutter of thinking. Thinking about what is going to happen, or what has already happened. Thoughtless awareness allows us to focus on the present moment, which is essential to deal peacefully with any situation in life.
