Sahaj Meditation

There are many approaches to meditation, but the generally agreed purpose is to train the mind to observe, and then to let go of attachmentsin order to simply be "mindful". Whatever the method, after one begins to quiet the mind, one's life becomes a meditation. The mindfulness one acquires through the practice of meditation will be carried out during all life: when talking, one is talking mindfully, when studying, studying with concentration, when resting, resting fully.

Sahaj Samadhi, meaning effortless transcendence, is the meditation technique taught by Art of Living. Sahaj Samadhi is a natural and graceful system of effortless meditation providing the mind with a much needed, deep rest. Sahaj Samadhi allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into itself. When the mind settles down, it lets go of tension and stress, centering itself in the present moment. It is only in the present moment we find true happiness -- those moments when we are free from regrets about the past or anxiety about the future. Without effort our inner nature is available.
