Self-realization through Sahaja Yoga involves awakening Kundalini, a dormant spiritual energy located in the sacrum bone of every human. When this connection between the individual energy and the all-pervading power occurs, it results in the flow of breeze-like vibrations. This is a very tangible, direct experience.  You can feel it in your nerves – a gentle breeze on the palm of the hands as well as on top of the head. This awakening initiates a profound inner transformation, leading to greater balance, peace, love, and joy.  

Once the kundalini is able to cross the sixth chakra, called the Agnya chakra, this energy is able to elongate the gap between our thoughts, and we enter into a state called thoughtless awareness - a state where we are completely aware but without thoughts. This is the present moment.   As we meditate more and more, strands of kundalini cross our Agnya chakra, we can expand this state of mental silence so we can be in this state of silence for longer periods of time.  Life becomes more enjoyable and peaceful and less stressful the more we are in this state - in short, the more we are in thoughtless awareness - everything improves.
