How to Do Sahaj Marg Meditation

Sahaj Marg, or the "natural path." is an ancient spiritual teaching. This technique focuses on heart-centered meditation and is a simple practice which you can easily adapt. It requires no rituals or ceremonies. You need othing more than the power of thought.

Instructions

1. Practice Sahaj Marg meditation in the early morning for at least 1 hour and complete the meditation before sunrise. As the sun sets, perform an evening cleansing meditation for at least 30 minutes, completing it as the sun goes down.

2. Sit in a comfortable position with your eyes shut and concentrate on your heart filled with "Divine Light." Assume a position which is comfortable for you and where you can remain still for about an hour. Do not lie down to meditate, or you may fall asleep.

3. Concentrate on filling your heart and mind with loving energy and healing light. As thoughts enter your mind, allow them to drift away and come back to your heart-centered meditation. In Sahaj Marg meditation, all thoughts come from within, and they linger only if you give them attention. If you allow your thoughts to fall away, they will become weak as your meditation becomes strong.

4. Continue your meditation for about an hour until the sun rises, and then prepare for your day with new found energy.

5. Finish each day with an evening Sahaj Marg meditation, sitting for about 30 minutes as you allow the thoughts and stresses of the day to fall away as the sun sets.
