Tena Koutou, and Welcome to our Meditation Space!

If you have ever wanted to learn to meditate, think positively, develop stress management techniques, feel calmer, get to know yourself or just feel a little more peaceful … the solution may be closer than you think.

Raja Yoga meditation is a method of relaxing, refreshing and clearing the mind and heart. It helps you look inside to rediscover and reconnect with your original, spiritual essence. Meditation enables an integration of your spiritual identity with the social and physical realities around you, fostering a functional and healthy balance between your inner and outer worlds. We believe in the concept of changing the self to change the world and the power of micro-level change: whatever initiative one person takes, others get inspired and do likewise.

We have been teaching meditation in New Zealand for the past 33 years in cities throughout New Zealand. We have 4 Centres and a number of teaching locations, open to people of all backgrounds, offering free-of-charge courses in Meditation and Positive Thinking as well as a variety of seminars, workshops and lectures promoting self development and personal spiritual growth.

Over the years we have been active in the community presenting courses, seminars, workshops and lectures free of charge at schools, universities, hospitals, festivals, women’s refuges, prisons, youth groups, businesses and other organizations. We have welcomed thousands of people from a variety of backgrounds and professions who come to restore balance and focus to their lives through solitude, silence and the study of spiritual values.

If you would like to learn how we meditate or participate in any of our seminars, workshops, and lectures to re-energize and empower yourself, then contact one of our places near you and read about our current programmes in  What’s On.

Thought of the Day

Thought for today

Spiritual Progress

There is benefit for you in every situation. If, that is, you know how to look for it. The idea behind steady spiritual progress is to see every circumstance and situation (particularly those that challenge you) as a tailor-made lesson in your personal plan for self-development. For example, in a situation where hurtful or angry words were exchanged, why not see it as the chance either to perceive things about your own character which need changing or to rehearse some virtue or quality that you need to put into practice more often? Actually, we should be grateful for the opportunity to evaluate ourselves. In this way you can transform anything into a constructive lesson. Never think that you've learned enough and now can stop. You should love it when people try to correct you or give you advice. It keeps you alert and gives you plenty of opportunity to put your truth into practice. It's a sign of great danger to be unable to accept criticism and instead use your understanding to criticise others. Realise deeply the significance of every moment, and your spiritual progress will be assured.
