Guided Meditation

Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our FREE Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted by Wolfgang, Hamid, Anil, Shantanu & friends which take place in Vienna – 7pm Thursdays. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity association and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. 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 Vienna most evenings and throughout Austria. 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 Vienna in 2015 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......

**Die absurdeste deutsche Comedy-Show Wiens: jung, wild & unberechenbar. Gratis Eintritt – jeden Donnerstag im Comedy Pub.** # [Hol dir deine Tickets hier!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-sein-vater-absurd-witziges-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-CZ89PB?ref=MeetUp) Willkommen zu **Comedy sein Vater**, der Show, die klingt wie ein Meme und sich auch so anfühlt. Jeden Donnerstag im *The Comedy Pub* übernehmen junge, wilde Comedians die Bühne, um mit absurden Ideen, schrägen Gags und gnadenlosem Humor das Publikum zum Lachen (und manchmal auch zum Kopfschütteln) zu bringen. Hier gilt: nichts muss, alles kann. Von wahnwitzigen Gedankensprüngen über dunklen Humor bis zu völlig chaotischen Auftritten – **Comedy sein Vater** ist das Open Mic, bei dem Regeln aufhören und die Absurdität beginnt. Wer brave Comedy will, geht woanders hin. Wer das Unerwartete liebt, ist hier genau richtig. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist die Spielwiese der Stand-up-Comedians. Hier werden Ideen geboren, getestet und manchmal auch sofort wieder beerdigt – live, unzensiert und direkt vor Publikum. Genau deshalb ist es so spannend: du erlebst, wie Stand-up entsteht, wie Comedians Risiko eingehen und wie oft daraus die lustigsten Momente des Abends werden. Bei **Comedy sein Vater** ist das Ganze noch ein Stück extremer: mehr Mut, mehr Chaos, mehr Überraschungen. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Zuhause für Chaos & Lacher Austragungsort ist das **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien) – ein Irish Pub mit Herz und einem historischen Altbaukeller, der wie geschaffen ist für wilde Stand-up-Abende. Oben wartet die Bar mit Drinks und Pub-Atmosphäre, unten der Keller mit Underground-Flair. Niedrige Decken, warme Lichter, intime Stimmung – genau der richtige Ort, um Comedy an ihre Grenzen zu bringen. Dank der U4-Station **Kettenbrückengasse** gleich ums Eck ist die Anreise so einfach wie ein Lacher auf einen guten Witz. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Hier gilt: Lachen kostet nichts, aber wer lacht, sollte geben. Der Eintritt ist frei, Spenden sind willkommen. Jede Reaktion des Publikums – ob Applaus, Gelächter oder betretenes Schweigen – hilft den Comedians, besser zu werden. Aber wer herzhaft gelacht hat, darf das auch im Spendenhut zeigen. ## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum Ja, auch im Chaos braucht es ein paar Spielregeln: * Sei pünktlich – sonst verpasst du den besten Wahnsinn. * Respektiere die Bühne – auch wenn’s absurd wird. * Lachen, Stöhnen, Kopfschütteln – alles erlaubt, aber bitte keine Zwischenrufe. * Kein Heckling – das endet nie so lustig, wie du denkst. * Spenden sind Liebe – und Comedy sein Vater lebt davon. ## 🎉 Warum Donnerstag? Weil am Donnerstag alles passieren darf. **Comedy sein Vater** ist das perfekte Ventil für Wochenend-Vibes, die schon zu früh kommen. Hier siehst du Comedians, die an die Grenze gehen – mit Humor, der nicht brav sein will, sondern mutig, absurd und manchmal gnadenlos ehrlich ist. Wenn du eine Show suchst, die dich überrascht, irritiert und garantiert zum Lachen bringt, dann bist du hier genau richtig. Willkommen beim Chaos.

## **A Contemplative Retreat for Inner Peace and Strength for a Demanding Life** ### As one year quietly fades… and another gently approaches… there’s often a subtle pull inside. A sense… that we don’t want to fall back into the same old rhythms, the familiar patterns, the expectations that no longer feel alive. Something in us wants to begin differently — more consciously, more meaningfully. And for many of us, after years of building, achieving, and doing everything we once hoped for… another question begins to whisper underneath it all: **What truly matters now?** When the striving softens, and the world finally grows quiet… a deeper longing rises. Not for more to accomplish. Not for more to manage. But for something real. Something that feels like truth. **The Inner Pilgrimage** is for these exact moments — when freedom feels strangely heavy, when the old tools no longer bring clarity, when the next step is no longer outward… but inward. It isn’t about resolutions. It isn’t about goals. It isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about listening again. It’s about coming home to yourself before the year unfolds. It’s about giving yourself a gentle, meaningful inner boost — so you can begin 2026 grounded, clear, aligned… and quietly connected to what truly matters. ### **Essence** In a world that constantly asks for more — more effort, more speed, more responsibility — this weekend offers a simple invitation: Pause. Breathe. Come home. **The Inner Pilgrimage** is not a journey outward. It is a soft descent inward — into stillness, into presence, into the quiet clarity that has been waiting beneath the noise. You won’t be traveling far. But you may return changed. This is a space to rest. To listen. To rediscover the strength and peace within you that daily life so easily consumes. > The most meaningful journeys are not those that take us far away, > but those that bring us deeply home. ## **Program Overview** The morning begins slowly. A settling. A gentle arriving into your body, your breath, your presence. * A welcome into stillness * A quiet talk: *What does it mean to walk a pilgrimage of the soul?* * Guided inner reflection: *Where am I on my path right now* * Time for journaling, sensing, or resting * A soft morning of wordless presence — a Vigil of Stillness Short lunch break, softened… opened… ready for a different kind of listening. ### The afternoon continues in quiet. Not with effort, but with ease. * A meditation * A talk: *Coming home — living from what you discovered* * A gentle dialogue circle or short reflective moments * Tea shared in silence * Time for integration, writing, or contemplation * A symbolic closing ritual * Ending the day in silence, presence, and gratitude You return to your life not with pressure, but with clarity… with strength… with a renewed sense of direction from within. ### **Atmosphere** Soft. Unhurried. Warm. Human. A space where silence isn’t empty — it’s full of something deeper. A space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or hold yourself together. Just be. As you are. Light, healthy snacks will be offered as a small act of *mindful feasting* — simple, nourishing, grounding. Nothing loud. Nothing forced. Just presence, warmth, and the quiet company of others walking their own inner path. ### **Good to Know** **Date:** Sunday, Jan 18th, 2026 **Time:** 09:30 am–5:00 pm **Location:** Vienna **Language:** English **Facilitator:** Dieter Langenecker – Modern Elder & Meaning Counselor **What to bring:** Comfortable clothing, journal or notebook, an open heart **Refreshments:** Light snacks and tea provided (breaks in silence) **Contribution** Participation in *The Inner Pilgrimage* is offered on a **trust and appreciation basis**.

We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”

Join us for an evening of stories and science around one of the most intriguing – and intense – plant medicines on the planet. This talk explores Iboga and Ibogaine in the context of trauma, addiction, and mental health. We will look at flood doses, microdosing, current research (including studies from Stanford and Ohio State), as well as potential benefits and real risks. In addition to clinical and scientific perspectives, the talk will also address traditional and experiential views of Iboga as a root medicine, including its reported role in personal insight, spiritual inquiry, and intergenerational or lineage-related themes. 🧭 Doors open: 18:00 // Start: 18:30 🎟️ Entry 5€\* (Members free; become a member: [https://ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna](https://ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna)) \*if money is the only reason you can not come, reach out & we’ll find a way. 💰Donations welcome // Cash only 📍Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna (Entry between Billa and Bipa) (not barrier-free) 🗣 Language: English The talk will take place live via video call and will be streamed on-site via projector.
