Recently many of my friends and acquaintances all of a sudden got a genuine interest in practicing Sahaja yoga meditation- apparently because they have been watching me since years and came to a conclusion it must be a good thing because it makes me so happy and my life so easy. Generally there seems to be a growing interest in Sahaja yoga meditation practice worldwide and I believe it is important to make the interested population aware of some dangers in connection with it.
Danger Nr.1
After some time of Sahaja yoga mediation practice you will find out that communication with many people will become difficult as you will not be able to keep up the favourite topic of all conversations – the moaning. That can become a real problem if you are not a skillful conversation leader - why should you keep up a totally boring and useless conversation at the time when you know what to do about the problems (interestingly some people seem not to be interested in solutions but only in moaning).
Danger Nr.2
After some time of Sahaja yoga meditation practice you will find out that your life will change and all the happenings, people and nature around will start bubbling with colours. The number of happy coincidences and amount of luck will grow. At the same time something else can start growing – namely the jealousy of people. Some people may start having serious difficulties with you becoming “too positive”.
Danger Nr 3
After some time of Sahaja yoga meditation practice you will find out that the true value of all things is the vibrational one.You will start enjoying only things that have been created with love, attention, with the quality of heart and soul. Immediately you will know which object, music, or information is valuable for you and will do you good – literary in seconds you will be able to percept and revise huge bites of information with the right solution and answer for every situation (compared to this the famous sixth sense wearable device is peanuts)
Danger Nr.4
After some time of Sahaja yoga meditation practice you will notice that more and more people feel attracted to you – some can mistake it for the physical attraction but the true reason for that is your increasing freshness and loveliness. Regular sahaja meditation has some interesting impact on a meditator as: glowing eyes, softer skin and beaming face. All that will be consciously or unconsciously recognised by the people you meet. The possible danger for you here: will you be able to deal with your increasing popularity?
Danger Nr. 5
After some time of Sahaja yoga meditation practice you will notice that not only the attention to your lovely personality increases but also the demanding nature of it – more and more people will want your council, your company, your support. After some time, when you realize that you are your own master, people will automatically see a master in you. They will be naturally seeking your help and guidance. The question is whether you want to be that or not?
All these are serious dangers as they may not only lead to a total transformation of your personality but also of your surroundings. You have to ask yourself before starting with sahaja mediation – do your really want all this happen to you? If you are desperate or curious enough – try it out. BUT BEWARE!

Very Good Ax : )
In fact I would say inspired, congratulations!
Much Love

Axinia!
Thanks for pointing out the 5 “dangers”.
Wow, what a change of perception meditation leads to.
I have to admit after 14 years of sahaj meditation all points have actually happened to me.
So be aware, who ever you are out there in the internet void, this meditation is an awareness and life changing experience.

Good warnings, i agree with them. Lov
Oh Axinia!!! What a lovely and beautiful way of presentation provoking the inquisitiveness by listing out the not so dangerous dangers (actually Boons). I love this.
sounds something i need to start.
i really really want the positive vibrations…
shraddha
No. 4 is really a dangerous one
it is indeed…
I hope I can handle all that.
Axinia, we DO need it to be posted in Russian section, too. it would be so cool to have it posted on as many of unofficial sites as possible, too.
there is more dangers to the list: lacking the interest in alcohol, smoking etc… and wanting to spend more quality time enjoying nature…
sure, my husband will re-post it in Russian on his blog : http://sahajayogalive.wordpress.com/
It’s already done, welcome! May be you can spread this?

Axinia, Vova, do u like them?
with some additions
I will try my best. I just thought that if we post it on ANY possible Russian blog/site – would be wonderful. Axinia’s Russian blog is already on the top of popularity. I personally think it would be great to have it there, too, with those additions
So far, i will send the link to the “7 dangers” one.
Ein wunderbares Foto und ein großartiger Artikel, den ich nur bestätigen kann. SUPER!!!
just five? there is more, there is also a “Boring side of SY meditation” and so on…
please feel free to continue, may be on your blog?

What a wonderful description of the spiritual life! Thank you for these “dangers”. Your post so eloquently lists what we are loosing by placing the confidence on our rational mind.

One difficulty that has arisen for me is that I have become detached from drama; some interpret this as detachment for people, and see it as cold. In my perspective, my happiness does not rely one consent of others.
I can see what you mean very well. I have the same problem. But then…we shoudl develop what is called COMPASSION, – even if you understand that a persons suffers on his/own fault, it is still suffering and it hurts…here we have to learn compassion. It is my life task, to learn it. The rest is not difficult.
Axinia, excellent presentation. Very impressive.
One thing I am concerned about people who practice Sahaja Yoga, whether the “BODY & MIND” of the people who practicing this yoga, is conditioned enough to accept the “awakening of the Kundalini [ Serpent power ].
I am always curious about this, since books about Raja Yoga cautions about this.
Yoga Sutra of Patanjali talks about “yama & Niyama” [ do's and don'ts] to condition the body & mind.
By the way, I practice “kriya Yoga” and Hamsa [ watching inhalation and exhalation without controlling them.]
thank you AM I A HINDU?, I can understand very well your concern. You know, when I was a young girl, I always wanted “to grow spiritually but FAST”, I tried many differnt things and saw that they do bring about some changes but tooooooooooo slow. Sahaja yoga was the only method I found that speeds up the spiritual learning and let you experince all that what the saints of all times and lands have described….
And my second argument will be: read my blogs, see my photos, my profile picture, check it all and ask yourself honestly – is that the person who was somehow damaged by the awakening of Kundalini?
love this post!
I was really surprised at first to see the title, Axinia. After reading the post, the surprise vanished completely. All I can say is that you are an eternal optimist
Even when I specifically requested you to list my negatives (and not just the positives), you pointed out only a minor one. And now this post
Sure, seeing the brighter side of things is great, but only to a certain extent. It’s like ignoring the negative numbers in mathematics. Working only with positive numbers may be sufficient for many purposes, but one simply cannot do mathematics if one ignores the negative numbers. Several problems can be solved only by working with negative numbers
If one fails to acknowledge the existence of negative numbers, the result of the calculation will be a big error. I sincerely hope you don’t ignore things that are negative. After all, even the ‘+’ sign has a ‘-’ sign contained in it. Only by drawing a vertical ‘l’ sign through the middle of the ‘-’ sign does it become a ‘+’ sign 
Raj, happy to see you back
Yes, I am an optimist, and youa re a pessimist – and I will never meet in the middle, because we don’t want to change our position, do we?
))
Sure, there are some negative points in everything, and I DO SEE them, believe me. May be even more than others. But just do not concentrate on them. And you do.
Though I have no evidence that you are able to see the negative points, Axinia, I trust you and believe your word that you are able to observe the negative points. (Your deliberate ignorance of the negatives is what made me believe that you cannot see them
)
By the way, I don’t like these pathetic new wordpress smilies
They are not half as good as the old ones which were simple and very expressive at the same time.
Wonderful post! I have tried Sahaja Yoga for the first time today. I plan to experience some of those things.
thanks and good luck on the way – you will enjoy it!
sweet, nice and novel! but make sure to read the whole
seeing the sahajayoga in this perspective was little different but true one.
what good points…..really interesting to read and can be used for spreading the divine love.
Sahaja Yoga is no different to anything else in life there is available to experience…..by way of one precise detail.
All things in life are inextricably and positively determined by ones very own perspective. If one believes an exercise to be beneficial, then it absolutely is….for them. If that same individual believes the same exercise to be of questionable reasoning….then it absolutely is….for them. No single human being can dictate to any other human being the validity of what one wishes to do with their own choices or actions in life.
How can you tell a person that the Sun is in the East or in the West, if that person is an Astronaut in Space?
“Perspective is every-thing”
Brad, absolutely agree with you. We are free to have as many experiences as we want.
And if you would read some more posts on my blog, you will see that I always highlight that this is my personal experience and this is how it works.
Interestingly it works same with all/or almost all people that try sahaja yoga out
