About Rajyoga Meditation Course (RMC)
‘Raja’ means ‘the ruler’ and ‘Yoga’ means ‘communion’. “Rajyoga” is a divine communion which helps us be self sovereign. Meditation comes from the Latin word “Mederi” which means “to heal”. Meditation is a state of being beyond every day consciousness, which is where spiritual empowerment begins. Rajyoga Meditation is thus a self-healing process. Rajyoga Meditation enables us to see a totally new world, a world inside us, activating our dormant inner energies in the form of powers and nourishing the spiritual awareness of the self, the Supreme, time and world. Once we start to explore this inner world, we are able to see the root of our problems and also the key to their solutions. We start to respond to situations, rather than just reacting to them, enabling us to live in harmony.
Raja Yoga meditation is a form of meditation that is accessible to people of all backgrounds. It is specifically, for those who:
- have spent time searching for spirituality and have now found something they did not find elsewhere.
- have achieved much in their lives and just wonder, “Is that all there is?”
- have to overcome difficult experiences and challenges in life and need extra power to help get through them.
- have a deep desire to deepen their understanding and connection with, the Divine.
- have a wish to use their own energy and good wishes to bring about peace in the world and to share a sense of well-being and contentment with one’s self and the other souls in the world.
The Beauty of Rajyoga:
- You can practice Rajyoga anywhere, any place. No matter where you find yourself at any moment, you simply take one step inward and experience a world of peace and bliss.
