1. Ability to perceive the subtle energy
system and its components
Practicing meditation with some regularity eventually
takes nearly everyone to this basic stage of feeling the
cool energy in the form of vibrations.
On the top of your head, you may feel a sensation
similar to a low voltage current, but it’s a soothing
sensation. This particular sensation can be really pow-
erful, depending on the number of strands of Kundalini
energy rising, which in turn depends on the strength
of your connection to the all-pervading power. Thus,
this sensation is also often a direct indication of the
strength of your connection, as well as an indicator of
how deep your meditation will be.
Some people report a hot sensation in the hands and
on the top of the head instead of a cool sensation.
Typically, this only happens in the very early stages of
a Sahaja practice and is due to the Kundalini energy
clearing the chakras as it passes through them. The
unwanted obstacles and negativity exit the body in the
form of a hot breeze. All you have to do is wait patiently
for the cool sensation to set in. Incidentally, people
who experience the hot breeze are usually closer to
actually experiencing the subtle energy components
than those who feel nothing at all.
2. Enhancing the experience of meditation, vibratory
awareness and improving sensitivity
In subsequent stages, the focus shifts to accurately
differentiating between various experiences and
sensations and fine-tuning your sensitivity to the
subtle energy system, that is: You become a subtler
human being. This includes being able to differentiate
between good and bad vibrations, between hot and
cool vibrations, between strong vibrations and feeble or
mediocre vibrations.
Good and bad vibrations
In Sahaja meditation, there is a real, tangible way of
detecting positive and negative vibrations once one’s
subtle energy system becomes sensitive or receptive to
vibrations.
Positive, strong vibrations can be sensed by a strong
flow of vibrations and a cool sensation, while bad,
negative vibrations can be perceived as hot sensations,
accompanied by stoppage of the flow of vibrations.
Negative vibrations may also be experienced as a feeble
flow of hot energy. These sensations can actually be felt
on our hands and fingers.
Vibratory awareness can become a helpful, practical
decision-making guide for Sahaja practitioners. As
you move to advanced stages of the practice of Sahaja
meditation, you begin to receive confirmation of good
vibrations emanating from positive things and bad
vibrations from negative things — again and again,
often, several times each day. Over time, the distinction
between good and bad becomes crystal clear and your
vibrations provide you with confirmation.
Hot and cool vibrations
Hot or cool vibrations are mostly synonymous with
good or bad vibrations, but not always. Many times,
feeling no vibrations at all can be an indication of
bad or not-so-positive things. Cool vibrations, while
generally positive, may sometimes indicate “Just Okay”

versus a strong pulsing flow of cool vibrations, which
indicates Extremely Positive.
Strong and weak vibrations, intensity of the flow of the
Kundalini energy
The strength of your inner energy connection to the
universal energy is directly proportional to the number
of strands of energy rising and the number of obstacles
in its path. The stronger the energy connection, the
deeper the experience of thoughtless awareness and
the stronger the vibrations. Conversely, when fewer
strands of energy rise, vibrations are typically feeble.
Aspects of sensitivity related to location
Vibrations can be felt on the hands or on the top of
the head. The movement of the Kundalini energy in
general may be felt through any energy center. At
times, vibrations may only flow through the left or right
hand, which indicates that the subtle energy system is
out of balance. An energy channel (e.g., left channel
or right channel) that is blocked results in absence of
vibrations in its respective hand (left or right).
Furthermore, the flow of vibrations can also be felt
on specific fingers. At times, the vibrations can be
sensed in some fingers but not in others. The mapping
of fingers and regions of the hand to the individual
chakras can be understood from the diagram of the
subtle energy system. When vibrations are not flowing
through a particular finger, it means there’s some
problem with a specific chakra that needs attention.
The toes experience vibrations similar to the fingers,
but there’s a slightly different mapping to individual
chakras for the toes.
Vibrations may also be felt at the location of the
individual chakra. Likewise, obstacles can be felt in the
chakra, or on the fingers or toes that are mapped to that
chakra.
3. Obstacles in the subtle energy system
An obstacle is a temporary obstruction or impediment
to the flow of the Kundalini energy. Obstacles can occur
in any channel or chakra. They’re felt in various ways,
such as a twitching sensation in the finger or toe that
corresponds to a particular chakra, or a twitching or
“catch” sensation at the precise location of the chakra.
At times, the twitching can be quite intense (though
not painful or disturbing) while at times, it can be
mild. At other times, it can be detected by the absence
of vibrations or the flow of energy through the specific
finger that corresponds to the chakra. Obstacles in the
energy channels can primarily be felt by the lack of

energy flow either in the right hand or left hand.
4. Negativities
A negativity is a foreign entity in the subtle energy
system, very similar to how a virus or other unwanted
microorganism is a foreign entity in our physiological
system. A negativity has adverse effects on the subtle
energy system, most commonly an impact to the
vibrations and quality of thoughtless awareness.
Sometimes it has deeper impacts, such as influencing
our behavior negatively due to emotional imbalances or
inducing a lot of unnecessary (and possibly distracting
or intrusive) thoughts.
Typically, we tend to classify disorders based on
symptom clusters. Many Sahaja practitioners report
being able to detect physiological disturbances and
disorders well before the physical symptoms start
manifesting. In many cases, they can take preventive
action to eliminate the problem or significantly reduce
its intensity. Two common examples include being able
to detect a problem with the digestive system through
the detection of an obstacle or negativity in the Nabhi
or Swadishtana chakra, or being able to detect a flu or
common cold by detecting a catch or negativity in the
Vishuddhi chakra.
However, negativities in the subtle energy system
typically can be a lot more subtle. A common example
is infiltration of negativity in the left energy channel,
which is involved in addictive behaviors, such as
addiction to substances like alcohol, and other severe
mental health problems. While science has its own
explanations and diagnostics for such disorders, the
subtle energy system can also help us detect and
analyze these problems quite effectively.
Other types of the subtler negativities can include
significant behavioral changes, as in the case of a
person who suddenly becomes a shopaholic or an
overly aggressive personality when he or she was not
previously known to exhibit such behaviors.
Negativities in the subtle energy system are typically
experienced by a sensation of pain that sometimes
feels like a pin pricking the finger. They can also be
experienced as heat passing through the fingers, rather
than a cool flow of vibrations.
If you need help, expert SOL instructors and meditation
coaches are always available to provide guidance
and support for your individual Sahaja journey. Most
meditators find that having the support of a seasoned
practitioner helps them make progress more quickly.
The SOL Practitioner Video LIbrary offers a wealth of
practical tips, shared perspectives and experiential
learning from long-time Sahaja practitioners that
will help you understand what to expect from Sahaja
meditation and learn how to improve the quality of your
meditations.

Symptoms of different kinds can help us understand
problems relating to specific chakras. If we are alert and
aware of these symptoms, we can take corrective action
by trying to clear the obstacle or negativity and trying to
balance the specific chakra.

Making meditation part of your lifestyle
To ensure successful long-term outcomes, meditation
needs to become part of our lifestyle and in fact a basic
“hygiene” factor that we cannot do without.
Understanding the key subtler traits
Once we commit to a longer-term approach, it’s
important to understand the basic qualities associated
with the various components of the subtle energy
system and work on those to achieve long-term
improvement.

Attentional control and focus
Our attention is sharpened through regular meditation
and cleansing techniques, which helps us identify the
root causes of behavioral deviations from the subtler
traits we desire to possess. Meditation not only helps
elevate our attention to a higher state where we feel
less need to react or make impulsive decisions, but it

also provides us with a sense of objective detachment
towards people, things, and situations, which
ultimately helps us overcome our deficiencies.
In addition to the meditative practice itself, willpower
and a deliberate, conscious mental effort is required
to ensure that we stay on track and are continuously
pursuing the improvement of desired traits.
Being able to identify precisely which traits and,
concomitantly, which chakras are weak within us at a
given moment is an ongoing long-term effort that helps
ensure your progress.
The importance of collective meditation
Collectivity can be an important tool for longer-
term improvement. While meditating individually is
definitely beneficial, we may find ourselves wanting
to push harder and reach even greater heights in our
spiritual journey and improvement. Group meditations
can help us accomplish this, drawing upon the
collective energy of other meditators to help us reach
higher still.
