The recent Sahaja Yoga program at Woolgoolga was one of the most successful in the giving of self-realisation we have seen over the past couple of years. The focus on the tent and the preparations really helped to lift the vibrations. Many thanks to Annaradha for her creative, artistic flair with the saris.
It began very slowly with people walking by and not even looking at our stall. Then quite a few of the yogis sat and began to meditate in the tent and whoosh! up went the vibrations and along came the seekers! It was amazing to see what happens when we collectively put our attention.
After that we had groups of people getting their self-realisation. One group would finish, and then the next group would take their place in the tent, in groups of about 7 people at a time. We put up a whiteboard with guided meditation times every 1/2 hour. This meant we could invite people, if they couldn’t stay at that time, to come back in ten minutes when we would be starting the next session. Having groups of people getting their self-realisation attracted other people walking by who would stop and watch. This gave us a chance to engage with them and give them information.
We had the www.freemeditation.com.au site on our phones, allowing us to walk people through the pages and show them how to get talks, music and information. The response from people was very positive.
Many people took information cards and stopped to chat. We gave realisation to about 50-60 people. We were really blessed with a beautiful day weather-wise, but beyond that were blessed with being able to give Shri Mataji’s message and self-realisation to so many people. It was a joyous weekend, with our hearts so full of love.
