Lincolnshire   Free Meditation & Yoga

Hello there!

We'd like to welcome you to our FREE Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings

We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes.

With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we generally sit on chairs to achieve Yoga effortlessly & spontaneously. There is no need for exercises (Asanas) or breathing techniques (Pranayama). No special clothing or mat required, just come as you are.

All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for.

The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous.

The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK.

The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga!

Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it.

Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for peace and self awakening.

All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through simple meditation techniques, often with guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation.

We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body.

The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future.

Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.

10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Grantham in 2014

It’s easy. You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear my mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis.

It’s free. You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn’t matter. You just picked up the classes again when you could manage it. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost.

You can see results. You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centres) and through the meditation techniques learnt along the way you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centres. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you’ve learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centres clearing, and as a consequence your health improves.

It’s all-inclusive. All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. And through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. In fact, you’ll find that since you’ve been meditating you’ll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha and Mohammed.

You’re your own boss. You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don’t have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the yoga & meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you.

It’s everywhere. Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation programme that you can attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, You try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation. (Meditating with others is a much deeper and more powerful experience than meditating alone.)

It’s portable. You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation.

It makes sense. Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yogameditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable.

Everybody does it. When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody.

You feel good. Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. Whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not makes no difference, and as a consequence your family and friends are reaping the benefits.

So there you have it......ten reasons......

Bourne and Beyond

Bourne, H7

Bourne and Beyond
Curious about why you should join yet another local group? Firstly, we are a very welcoming, friendly and vibrant group run by an enthusiastic and local leadership team. Members are mostly from the surrounding areas and usually in their 40s, 50s and 60s. This doesn't exclude those from further afield or exclude those younger or older! You are welcome to join, if you have a link to the area, new to the area or perhaps are keen to make new friends or try something different for 2023. Secondly, our group's vision is to create interesting and enjoyable events that get us out of the house! With a greater focus on town rather than city activities, we love everything from good conversation relaxing in pubs to letting our hair down and dancing all night! We enjoy attending local gigs and festivals, organising well planned country walks and we especially love to try delicious food at local restaurants! Our main aim is to ensure that you find leaving the house, perhaps meeting a bunch of strangers for the first time, a worthwhile experience, as we have all been there! So, we encourage everyone to try us out and see for yourself that it's a mixed group of friendly people from all walks of life. As we are democratically run, we value all active members and we encourage everyone to share or suggest ideas for local (or further afield) events. If you are keen to expand your social group, or just feel you'd like to show your face now and again, you are welcome to join in (plus fees have been waived for 2023!).

Stamford Meetup

Stamford, H7

Stamford Meetup
The club is a great way to meet people, make new friends and experience different activities. Maybe you are new to the area or perhaps one day you decide that you should be doing more with your leisure time. Well this is the perfect opportunity. We are fortunate that we have a number of excellent event hosts who voluntarily give up their free time to research and host events for our members to enjoy. We do ask that all of our members keep their RSVPs up to date. It only takes afew seconds to change an RSVP. No shows and very late cancellations cause hosts particular difficulties with managing events and may even dicourage them from hosting which would be a great shame. **MORE DETAILS ON THE GROUP** We are extremely fortunate to be based in Stamford, the "finest stone town in England" with its 600 listed buildings, five medieval churches and a vibrant social scene.  **IS THIS A SINGLES CLUB?** Stamford Meetup is **not** a singles club or dating group. We do ask that all of our members behave respectfully to everyone that they meet in the group as we do not want anyone to be made to feel uncomfortable at any of our events. The purpose of the group is for people to make friends and anyone who uses the website to send messages to strangers will be referred to the conduct group.     **CODE OF CONDUCT/BEHAVIOUR** We expect everybody to treat others with respect. We will refer any complaints to the conduct group for  investigation. **PHOTOGRAPH REQUIREMENT** To join/remain in the group you must have a recent photograph that clearly shows your face. A passport style picture would be ideal. This is very important because it helps us spot you at your first events and also increases the trust and security within the group.  **NAME REQUIREMENT** To join you must use your real name rather than a username. **Have Fun** John (Group Organiser)

We offer a walk every Sunday of the year plus regular Saturday walks and Wednesday evening walks in the summer. Walks typically range between 6 and 14 miles with a shorter option on a Wednesday evening. In addition we offer at least six walking weekend breaks every year. Locations range from Scotland to Cornwall and everywhere in between. Founded in 1997, NDWG is the original young person’s walking group for **Derbyshire**, **Nottinghamshire** and **Staffordshire**. As part of the Ramblers Association we do not charge people for coming on our walks and anyone is welcome to come and try out a walk. We do however believe that it is important to support the continued existence of the extensive network of free footpaths which we have in the UK. As such we request that following three walks you join the Ramblers Association. Ramblers membership starts at just £36.60 (£25.60 concessionary) per year. By joining the Ramblers Association you will become a full member of NDWG and have access to all group activities including weekends away. \*Note\* On average there are 20 people who attend each of our walks. We use Meetup as a way of promoting our walks, so don’t be alarmed to see only a few attendees in the walk’s guestlist!
