What Does
Sahaj Samadhi Mean?
Sahaj samadhi is a type of samadhi, or "deep spiritual bliss," which yogis believe to be their natural state. Many consider sahaj samadhi to be the highest, or the most complete level of samadhi. It is said to be unconditioned, non-dualistic and uncontrived; and, as a state, it is always accessible to the wise and those who have burned their past karma.
Sahaj means “natural” or “effortless.” As such, sahaj samadhi can also refer to a type of meditation practice that yogis consider to be a natural and effortless system of meditation.

- Clear thinking
- Increased energy levels
- Improved physical health

In the practice of sahaj samadhi meditation as taught by certain schools, including The Art of Living, the anchor for the mind is a mantra, which is usually given to the yogi by a teacher.
