Param Chaitanya

As mentioned in my previous posts, I’ve been meditating regularly for the last 50 days under Sahaj Yoga with the blessing of the founder Mataji Nirmala Devi Ji. I’ve  joined a collective meditation group that interacts through WhatsApp and organizes meditation sessions on Zoom. After meditation, the participants are asked to share their experiences or ask any doubts. While sharing my experience of solo meditation that I do during the morning, I was asked by the mentor to document it as we tend to forget these, in due course of time. So, I’m going to share it in this post.

Param Chaitanya when translated would mean ultimate/eternal bliss. In the terminology of Sahaj Yoga, it refers to the cool breeze that one feels on his palms or on top of the head during meditation. The sensation happens when the Kundalini in our body gets activated and starts to clear all the Chakras and Nadis. I’ve felt this cool breeze on both my palms for the first time when I started foot soaking. Yesterday, before my solo meditation, I came across a video of Mataji which appeared randomly as a suggested video on Youtube in which Mataji was guiding Sahaj Yogis to clear their left and right channel. I decided to clear my Channel with Mataji’s instruction after reciting three Mahamantra and Ganesha Atharva Sheersha. When Mataji was talking about how most of the people suffer from imbalances in their left Nadis, from that moment tears started rolling down my eyes. I was in thoughtlessness by then because of the rituals that I did before listening to Mataji’s video. Then she instructed to pass negativities of the right channel through the left hand being raised towards the sky by folding it in the elbow. She then asked the volunteer present beside her to feel the cool breeze in our palms, the moment she said this I started getting a cool breeze on both my palms. I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. I then sat to meditate and got an out-of-body experience. I felt as if I was observing myself as a witness with my soul out of my body. This experience was very unique to me and I take it as a blessing of Mataji. Mataji concluded that video by saying that your life would change from this moment whether you believe it or not. After the meditation, I sat with my pending task which I could finish within 1 hour!

What I take home from the excerpt that was shared in yesterday’s session of collective meditation is sincerity and consistency. These two qualities are like stepping stones to reap long-term benefits from anything that we want to pursue.  As promised to my mentor, I am documenting that experience as a present from Mataji so that I will revisit it in the future whenever I want motivation.
