Workshop on Stress

Management through
our Inner Meditation

… meditation for modern times

 Scientific Research Findings-IV
•Noticed significant increase in alpha
wave activity in both frontal & occipital
EEG recordings of subjects, practicing
Sahaja Yoga for at least 4 to 12 weeks.

•The neural basis of increased %age of

alpha activity, explained by the
experimenting scientists as follows:

• Actualization of Kundalini
awakening in the Limbic System
gives rise to profound bliss & deep
relaxation.

• Hypothalamus, the major sub-

station of the limbic system,
inhibits the RAS (Reticular
The four types of EEG rhythms Activating System) & flow of
irrelevant sensory stimuli.

• Hypothalamus interact with certain thalamic nuclei to produce predominant alpha-

wave activity.
• A positive inhibitory effect on posterior hypothalamic area produces various effects
like decreased respiratory rate, heart rate, B.P., skin temp. and a decrease in blood
lactate & urinary VMA and an increase in skin resistance (Scientific Research
Findings-I,II & III).

 Scientific Research Findings-V
Electrophysiological
Study of Meditation-
Mapping of Brain Electrical
Activity during Sahaja-
Yoga Meditation

The purpose of the

investigation was to study
differences of brain
bipotential distribution in
humans between the state
of quiet wake-
fullness and deep Sahaja
Yoga meditation.

Increased activity of theta2 waves were noted when the subjects passed into deep
meditation. This proved that theta2 waves are associated with activation of the limbic area
and deep subcortical structures of the brain.

What is Unique about Sahaja Yoga?
• It makes one his own ‘Doctor’ to
diagnose/cure his own problems

• It’s completely natural and devoid of side-

effects

• It’s very Scientific. Referred as ‘Meta

Science’ by Russian Scientists

• It’s Spontaneous i.e. No physical effort. Only

strong desire, a Scientist’s Open-mindedness
& Curiosity are enough

• It gives immediate experience which makes

it verifiable and a living process
 Effects of
regular meditation

• Gradual improvement of Chakras

• Inner peace
• Disappearance of physical,
psychological and psychosomatic
problems, and other stress related
diseases

REGULARITY IS MOST IMPORTANT!
