Brahma Kumaris in New Zealand

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

Nurture Nature

Many a philosophical debate arrives at the bottom line – are we naturally the way we are or is it nurtured? Are we all pure in heart, but blinded by the impurities of the world? Are we all enlightened souls who have simply succumbed to illusion? Most of us have an intuitive response which seems to acknowledge that there is goodness in everyone, it’s simply sometimes hard to see. As we look at ourselves maybe we even find it hard to see the good in ourselves. Perhaps we’ve been taught to see only the dark, the negative. Perhaps we grew up with others whose vision always landed on the negative. But who would choose to live in the darkness? Who would choose to be a negative person? Who would choose pessimism? Probably very, very few, if only we could see the choice. That’s why it is essential you find the good, however small within yourself, tend to it, nurture it, nourish it – just as you would the plants in your garden. When you focus on the good, the positive within yourself, you give it life, you give it permission to grow and to be restored to your nature. The good has been there all along, simply out of your inner sight, out of your awareness. Some say ‘get a life’ but this is how to give a life. This is how to give life back to yourself! Or do you prefer to live in the dark?
