Shri Mataji
So when you are enlightened, the conscious mind is something like a tree into which the sap is now flowing. It may be that it is just like a leaf or it may be it is like a flower, or maybe it is like a fruit. So it changes its forms once he gets realization. If a person gets realization then the conscious mind moves on, getting more and more light. Say, for example, when the electricity comes, you can see this room, you can see another’s room, you can see another room, you can go round and see and again, again you will see it all the rooms; then you become aware of all the rooms. So you are conscious of all these. But in the beginning you are just conscious of the room where you are standing, isn’t it?
So the conscious mind’s definition cannot be given after realization. A person like Me, say for example, has a conscious mind that might envelop the whole world. Or a conscious mind of a person who is realized soul who is still not anywhere, just started, then he’s only conscious as to where is right, where is left, where is this. So before the realization the conscious mind sees things around you. Out of that also there are categories. Some people see, say, for artists can see something, and a scientist can see something, another poet will see something. So it depends on the conscious mind how it is, has got the trend. But still it won’t see something that is subtle behind it, and that only is possible after you get your realization.

Sahaja Yoga Workshop, Wamuran, Queensland
We had a very successful Sahaja Yoga workshop at Wamuran, near Brisbane, on Sunday 29th June 2014. About 35 people attended, many for the first time.
The program started at 9.30am with ‘meet and greet’, refreshments and introductions. This was followed by a short introduction to Sahaja Yoga and then Self-realisation. Everyone then experienced footsoaking, clearing the subtle system and exchanging vibrations.
An in-depth demonstration followed of the various clearing techniques used in Sahaja Yoga. These treatments include candles, lemons and chillies, and onion treatment for the Agnya Chakra.
The hard-working kitchen team had cooked a beautiful lunch which was served outside in the sunshine.

After lunch, a meditation/workshop was held outside on the Mother Earth where exchanging vibrations and experiencing inner silence were only interrupted by the wind, the birds and the rustling of trees.
Shri Mataji’s video talk was followed by music from ‘Sahaj Sangeet’ bhajan group. The performance was very well received, with people joining in clapping. Finally, a silent meditation left everyone in Sahastrara.

Sahaja Yoga Meditation had a lovely and successful day at the Logan Eco Action Festival (LEAF) at the Griffith University, Logan on 8 June 2014. The Brisbane Sahaja yogis arrived early to set up the stall, decorating the backdrop with colourful saris and receiving many compliments from patrons about the beauty of the stall.
There was a steady stream of people all day, with yogis talking to people and handing out information. Some people had come to Sahaja Yoga many years ago and were surprised that we were here. One lady had previously received her Self-realisation in China.
One young school girl took lots of pamphlets and information and said she would do an essay on Sahaja Yoga for her school.
A young woman from Brisbane said she would go to the Sahaja Yoga young people’s program in New Farm park on the following Sunday.
There wasn’t enough space for giving Self-realisation, but many people listened intently to explanations about the fundamentals of Sahaja Yoga Meditation, and received details about Sahaja Yoga programs in the Brisbane area.
All in all, it was a wonderful day with the vibrations flowing, thanks to Shri Mataji’s generosity and love.
