The best way to benefit is to allocate time to practice your meditation at home daily. It may be difficult at first as you figure out where a daily meditation fits into your lifestyle, but without a daily practice, you are not going to be able to realize the full potential of your personal evolution. Meditating once in a while may work to temporarily reduce stress, which is surely useful, but the real growth happens gradually over time with sustained practice. Instead of using meditation to calm down after a stressful situation, daily practitioners may no longer perceive the situation as stressful to begin with. In addition, we sometimes find that newcomers to the practice want to read about Sahaja Yoga more than they want to sit and meditate. Gaining conceptual knowledge is useful and recommended to some extent, but it is not going to “fast track” a person to higher levels of consciousness. That can only come through meditation practice. It is worth the effort!
