How does the brain responds to Sahaja Meditation?

The following informative page answers questions on how the brain responds to Sahaja meditation. It's calming effect can be seen from the brain activation patters observed via EEG. Here is an extract. Go here for the full article.

Electrophysiological studies (EEG) measure the electrical activity from groups of neurons on the surface of the scalp. EEG studies comparing the brain activation of long-term Sahaja Yoga practitioners (11) to short-term Sahaja Yoga meditators (16) found specific brain activation patterns corresponding to the subjective feelings of thoughtless awareness and happiness experienced by the Meditators (Aftanas and Golocheikine, 2001, 2002, 2000). In their EEG measures, the long-term meditators showed increased power in low band frequency EEG activity of theta and alpha, which was particularly pronounced over the left frontal regions.

Clearning with Bija Mantras (Oct 20th 9pm Eastern)

Monday night yogi online meditations will resume with collective clearing using the Bija Mantra CD from Shri Mataji. To enhance your clearing experience during the program, you may optionally use a vibrated lemon, sliced just before the treatment. This method can be modified as there is no exact "right way". Generally one would keep a half lemon on Sahasrara, and 2 parts of the other halfs in the two hands. The most important part is Mother reciting the bija mantras for the chakras and later She breathes into the mic at the correct frequency. It will be exciting to do it collectively - so please invite other established yogis for a large collective clearning time!

When: 9pm Eastern Standard Time (Visit website to convert the time for your time zone:
