Free Meditation & Yoga â just show up â we start at 19.00 on Thursdays
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 â 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 â 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. Itâs ultimately all about getting into âthoughtless awarenessâ, a natural state of being.
10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Vienna in 2015
Itâs easy.
You donât have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You donât have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You donât 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.
Itâs free.
You donât pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesnât 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 youâve learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centres clearing, and as a consequence your health improves.
Itâs all-inclusive.
All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No oneâs 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, youâll find that since youâve been meditating youâll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha and Mohammed.
Youâre your own boss.
You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You donât have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things youâre 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 donât 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.
Itâs 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.)
Itâs portable.
You donât need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere â 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 youâll 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 â male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You donât 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......

You just havenât been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. Youâre not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **Thatâs where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we donât meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who are:
* building something
* figuring things out
* or simply trying to stay on track
**without doing it alone**
You donât need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward.
**What happens here**
You bring something youâve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. Thatâs it. And thatâs everything.
**Why people keep coming back**
* âI finally follow through on what I planâ
* âI leave with real progress every timeâ
**Time and Location**
đ **Time:** 9:30 AM â 12:30 NOON
đť **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything youâve been avoiding
**Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar ⨠you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops
â Please do order something from the local host, so as to keep us in their good graces!
**How it works**
* **9:30â9:45 â arrival + soft intro + set your task**
* **Deep focus sessions (2 x 45â + 15â breaks)**
* Quiet focus + optional social space
* Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want
Simple structure. Real progress.
**First time joining?**
We are near the ground floor bar đ Weâll get you settled.
**This is for you if:**
* You keep starting but donât finish
* You feel stuck working alone
* You want structure â without pressure
* You want to express yourself AND move forward
**What youâll get**
Not motivation. Not a productivity hack.
**Youâll get: ONE THING DONE.**
And then you come back, and do it again.
**This is how it starts**
You donât need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing.
Finish it. Weâll be there. As weâre growing and improving the experience, weâre moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating.
**Stay connected**
Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t)
Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)

Blue Zone Dinner â The Long Table: When Strangers Become Family
Across the world, different cultures have the same word for the same sacred thing.
In the Arab world, it's ***sufra*** â the spread that holds the room.
Across Spain and Latin America, ***sobremesa*** â the hours no one wants to leave the table.
In Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, ***keyif*** â unhurried pleasure (the Greeks call it *kefi*, same ancient root).
Across Italy and the Lusophone world â Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique â ***convivio*** â living together through the meal.
In Southern Africa, ***ubuntu*** â "I am because we are."
In Okinawa, ***moai*** â the lifelong circle that eats, walks, and grows old together.
Across Malaysia and Indonesia, ***makan-makan*** â the easy, communal feast.
In the Sikh tradition across South Asia, ***langar*** â where every person eats as equal, seated on the same floor.
Eight cultures. Eight words. One truth: **the long table, the slow meal, the people who start as strangers and end as family.**
The Blue Zones research â Dan Buettner's work on the five places where humans live longest and healthiest (Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, Loma Linda) â keeps pointing back to this. Not the recipe. The table. The presence. The time.
So let's do it.
**What:** One long table. Food we cook together. Hours of real conversation â emotions, relationships, philosophy, and yes, politics â not as sides, but as the questions we all carry. Here, what usually divides a room becomes the ground we meet on.
**What we leave behind:** Phones. All digital devices. None of the cultures we're honouring tonight needed them at the table â and the Blue Zones research is unambiguous: real longevity, real connection, real nervous-system repair happens only where we are not being scrolled into a loop.
**What we bring:** Ourselves. Our culture. Whatever we're carrying. Whatever we want to share.
**Open to everyone:** Whether your grandmother cooked in Beirut, Madrid, Istanbul, Naples, Johannesburg, Okinawa, Jakarta, or Amritsar â or nowhere at all â you belong at this table. The whole point is that nobody's culture runs the room. Every tradition sits beside every other.
**Before the event:** A poll goes out, so we choose the menu together.
**Now:** I'm looking for the right location â outdoors if possible, somewhere near Vienna. A garden, a terrace, a piece of land with trees and sky. If you have a spot or know one, message me. This is ours to build.
Come as you are. Stay as long as it takes.
*A small ritual before the ritual: a short call beforehand, 10 to 15 minutes. Not to screen you â to meet you. Every culture at this table starts a meal with a greeting. Ours starts here.*
