First of all if you have anything negative or critical to say about Shri Mataji or Sahaja Yoga I would respectfully ask you to keep it to yourself. Otherwise, if you have any questions about Sahaja Yoga then feel free to ask.
Also, if you like this meditation you should seek out a local Sahaja Yoga meditation center and try a collective meditation (solitary and silent meditation is a part of Sahaja Yoga after you get self realization, but collective meditation is necessary for growth).
Here is a link with an audio or video recording of a meditation guided by Shri Mataji http://www.sahajayoga.org/ExperienceItNOW/
Review this photograph to know where you will be placing your hand:

Hope you enjoy it.

Brother,
Your post made me realize the average person is swamped with competing information and claims. In such an environment, how can the average man be expected to distinguish truth from half-truths, or worse, misdirection?
I have no quarrel with your guru, but if he leads you down the wrong path, or retards your awakening, his karma will be terrible.
As long as your own intentions remain selfless, righteous, and compassionate, you will do fine.
Blessings to you.

The Truth does not mess around. Half-truths do.
The Truth will erect your spine, deepen your breathing, release your toxins, it will clear your head and purify your body.
Half-truths cannot do that. The Truth and Health are one and the same thing. All comes down to the DMT secretion.

In it lies complete fulfillment.

Actually, people think they are looking for the 'truth', but they are actually looking for something personal: such as comfort, certainty of mind, emotional satisfaction, security, admiration, health, etc.
DMT will fail you one day. I hope you don't take it regularly. That stuff will ruin your nervous system.
You will be in trouble if you start encountering low-level beings; of course you will not be able to tell they are low-level beings.
Nobody thinks of God when they are preoccupied with satisfying their personal wants and desires. What will you do, suppose, when one day your conditional happiness leaves you? What I mean by conditional happiness is: you are happy when certain conditions are met, such as: good health, mental agility, engaging diversions, satisfying relationships, comfortable living conditions, all of which can change at any moment. How will your 'god', DMT, help you then?
To me, truth can make you a better person, and it can equip you to handle changes in the future. Drugs however, will just mess up your mind and body, and lead you away from God and His plan for you. Drugs cannot lead you to truth, they will only lead you to glamour and confusion.
If you admit you just want to be healthy and have a good time, then I don't need to tell you these things. But if I am mistaken, and there is a part of you that aspires to more than physical world enjoyments, and suspects that not is all right in the human world, then you should re-consider your attachment or devotion to dubious drugs.
Here a some quotes that may help you see things more clearly:
. . .
"What never changes really exists and is true. What changes does not really exist and is not true. The one thing which always exists, which is true and unchanging is God, the one without a second. The world, when thought to be devoid of God, will be seen as constantly changing. Since it is changing, it cannot be true and, therefore, cannot really exist. But, in this, you are not seeing the world correctly.
"When you are under the spell of illusion, you see the world as separate from God. You do not see the divinity as the principle underlying everything in the world, and as a result, you become afraid and find it impossible to surrender yourself completely. It is like seeing a rope and thinking that it is a snake. But there is no snake there at all. You are subjected to fear and tension by imagining that there is a snake where there really is no snake, at all. What is the reason for this fear? Imagining things which really do not exist, as existing, is the cause of fear. This feeling is responsible for all your troubles. If you were to see all this in total awareness, you would find that there is only a rope; there is no snake. Then you would have no fear whatsoever. You would not be afraid to reach out to it, to hold it and to play with it, because you would realize that all there is, is only a rope.
"You are subject to many sorrows because you forget the fact that the entire world is the embodiment of God. It is not just the world as you think it is. You see the world only from the phenomenal point of view; you are not looking at it through the eyes of inquiry. If you were to look at the world correctly, you would realize that it is a stream of continuous change. This ongoing, uninterrupted flow of change is the basic characteristic of the phenomenal world. But within and governing that flow of change, is the one divine principle which is forever unchanging.
"It can be likened to a river. The water in the river will flow continuously and give rise to the apparent effect of a steady stream, flowing without end. But at any given period of time, and at any particular place along the river, the particles of water rushing by will all be different; some will be muddy, some will contain rocks, some will be foamy, some will be pure water. Although the flow is continuous, the exact makeup of the water is constantly changing. We see that the river is a combination of both changing and unchanging elements.
"In a similar way beings, which are the expressions of life, are born and die. Although they come and they go, there is a continuity of life in the world. Life which goes on continuously can be considered to be truth, whereas living beings which are born and die and are constantly changing, represent untruth. Therefore, the changing expressions of life are untrue, but life itself, which is a steady stream whose essence is the divinity, is true." (Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 'The veil of Illusion')
. . .
"What is glamour? We can more easily answer, what is not glamour? There seems to be nothing which enters our mind, comes out of our mouths or concerns us in any way at all, which is not saturated with glamour. Glamour is illusion on the astral or emotional plane. There are three levels of illusion, all pertaining to the personality. Illusion on the physical plane we call maya. On the astral plane we call it glamour. When it is on the mental plane, we call it illusion. The vast majority of us live constantly in a state of illusion, the result of not seeing reality as it is. Eventually, we come to an understanding that this physical-plane world, our astral and emotional life and even our mental ideas are nothing more than illusions of one kind or another. The real world, which we can only know through the development of soul consciousness, we have to reach and experience through the practice of meditation and service. Through meditation we gradually form a contact and eventually an alignment between our personality self and our true Self, our soul. When this is established the soul can throw its light on to this illusory life, physical, emotional and mental, in which we have up till then lived. That is evolution. We gradually evolve out of the darkness of our illusions, physical, astral and mental, into the light of the soul, the true reality." (Benjamin Creme, Maitreya's Mission Volume Two)

a. The mental body, the first aspect b. The astral or emotional body, the second aspect c. The physical body, the third aspect

I know what you mean. All I can do is offer what I'm able to vouch for and let someone make their decision on it.
To be honest, it kind of agitates me when people have that "b-but this isn't what I read on thirdeye.geocities.com, how can you expect me to believe all this is true?" attitude
And I'm like "WELL WHY DON'T YOU JUST TRY IT!?"
But of course that's a reaction I need to get over because I can't force them to try my path, but at least they had the opportunity.

Any practice that disables that and prevents its occurence is a practice that is far from Divine.

i've tried this before, i got the cool breezy effect (before reading of it) and a decent meditative state, it seemed to work alright. i dunno how far it could go but it seems alright in its own right, it didnt do much for me but it didnt do nothing at all either. i might try it again more than once and with consistency to really see though, it seems ridiculous but then again theres not much in the world that isnt ridiculous so thats prolly not a good thing to go on :P

Have you tried foot soaking (or do you know what it is)? It helps a lot to do it every night.

I am not saying I recommend this form of meditation. I was hinting that this guru may be teaching people half-truths.
People gravitate towards people who think like themselves. The less pure your intentions (i.e. the more selfish you are), the more likely you will be impressed by charlatans and false gurus who tell you exactly what you want to hear. If you want money, they will promise you riches. If you want to achieve certain results, they will make guarantees. If you don't want anything for yourself, these people cannot lure you in or take advantage of you. The common denominator is you must sacrifice something of yours for what they have to offer you. So purity of intention, or selflessness, is an all-encompassing form of protection, to ensure you only make sacrifices for things that are worthwhile.
Even higher desires, such as looking for inner peace or spiritual salvation must come at a price (sacrificing the lower self or ego, to attain the higher self or soul), but at least what you gain will be everlasting.
. . .
A slight digression..
There is some element of truth to DMT being called the 'God particle' because it is secreted from the pineal gland, which is where the head chakra is located, but no amount of physiological manipulation of it will yield anything meaningful. Only the soul or higher self can safely activate and utilize it.
The physical plane (and the physical body) is the lowest of many higher planes, and the average person is only aware of three planes:
The Lower Three Worlds 5. Gaseous . . . . . . . . . . Mental. Fire
6. Liquid . . . . . . . . . . . . Astral. Emotional
7. Dense physical . . . Physical plane
Without getting into details, the visions and fractals you see from mind-altering substances or psychic trances are really just reflections of your mental body, which extends some distance beyond your physical body. They are not sacred.
. . .
If your intentions are selfish or self-centered, no matter how much you meditate, you will never go beyond the astral and lower mental planes. Human thought cannot go beyond the lower mental planes.
To be human is to be selfish, to be divine is to be able to let go of selfishness.
Maitreya teaches about selfless service in combination with meditation. As you serve others, you decentralize from the ego or lower self, with all its conditioning and attachments; through meditation (as prescribed by the Masters) you steadily purify your vehicles (mental, astral-emotional, and physical), elevate your vibration, and gradually open the way for soul contact. The aspiring individual or personality does his part to purify his heart and mind, and the soul will take care of the rest when the individual is ready.
25. Service, that most important gift
26. Service and the soul
. . .
"Of all the precious things in the world, time is the most precious. Think carefully how you are spending your precious time. Your primary duty as a human being is to offer your body, your work and your time to the Lord, who is the very embodiment of time.
"Health which is spoiled and lost can sometimes be recovered with the help of medicines. But time which has gone by is lost for good; there is no way for it ever to come back and be used again. You have to make every effort to use this precious time in a sacred manner. Time is infinite; it goes on forever. But the time which is allotted to you is only a microscopically small fraction of that. Many of you are wasting your lives by thinking that the phenomenal world is real. As a result, you are using all your limited time for enjoying the pleasures of the world. If you reflect even for a moment on what you have achieved and how you have spent your priceless time, you will be very sorry to find that you have used it in such a wasteful manner." (Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 'Remember God, Forget the World')
. . .
"If you waste your time enjoying the pleasures of life during your youth, wasting the power of your body and your sense organs, then if you want to reach your goal of merging with the Lord in your old age, you may not get that chance. There is no meaning whatsoever in serving delicious food to the demons [vices], and then, when they have consumed everything worthwhile, offering the leftovers to God. Do you think that will please God? No! After all your powers and capacities have been dissipated by the demons of anger, greed, lust and pride, you try to offer God what little is left. But that offering will not be accepted by him. In this context, the Gita has emphasized that your youth is a very precious period which has to be used with great care to advance yourself spiritually.
"When you have had something for a long time and taken it for granted, you may not appreciate its real value. It is only after losing it that you truly appreciate it. As long as you have your eyes, you do not know the value and the preciousness of your eyes. You only realize the importance of vision when you lose your eyesight. In the same way, when you have good health and all your faculties are in their full glory, you do not understand their true value. After having lost your health, and when your faculties have become impaired, then you repent and lament that all your capacities and powers are gone. But lamenting at that point is useless. During youth you have allowed the bad habits and bad traits to become your great friends and get deeply rooted within you. You squandered and misused the capacities that have been given to you, blindly following your sensual desires. Later, these bad habits and bad traits become your principal enemies in old age.
"Most young people do not use their powers of discrimination properly. They do not try to sort out who is their true friend and who is their foe. If you follow only your senses and lower instincts, and have not developed your intelligence to understand the meaning of life, then is there any reason for calling you a human being? Should you not be called a mere animal? Once you understand the significance of human life and fill yourself with the noble qualities of a human being, your senses will no longer be able to confuse you." (Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 'Do not waste your Youth')
Blessings to you, my brothers and sisters!

I'm sorry that you didn't get what you wanted out of spirituality but there are others out there not as jaded as you.
I'm trying to focus on giving others self realization so for me to entertain your criticisms serves little purpose.

They are tolerated within the forum but the OP specifically requested they not enter this particular thread. And although differing opinions are allowed, this forum is also specifically dedicated to a more respectful approach with regards to discussion. So in that vein, respect the OP request and keep it out of this thread.

I'm trying to focus on giving others self realization so for me to entertain your criticisms serves little purpose.
I get out of spirituality what is in it to begin with. If someone is not underwhelmed by their beliefs with a need to shut down any questioning or critiquing of those beliefs to protect them then spiritually has let them down.
In effect you cannot give others self realization imo. Who do you think you are?

This is your post after all, and I shouldn't pass judgment on your guru. I will stop posting in here if that is your wish.
Opposing opinions will not be tolerated in this forum. Cause it's soooooooo spiritual. 
They are tolerated within the forum but the OP specifically requested they not enter this particular thread. And although differing opinions are allowed, this forum is also specifically dedicated to a more respectful approach with regards to discussion. So in that vein, respect the OP request and keep it out of this thread.
I have. I've made no critique of whatever it is he's into these days.

I'm sure Sahaja Yoga is great and can act as a wonderful form of meditation. But I'd be careful for anyone to consider their personal path as "the" path. There are hundreds of forms of meditation and spiritual traditions and they all can produce the same effects. 'There is more than one path up the mountain.'
I'm personally weary to get involved with any spiritual institutions because humans tend to, well, be humans and that group-power-structure mentality can get out of hand. With that said, your little group could be awesome as well - Just be careful. It seems too many beliefs about reality just gets us caught up in our own head. The "truth" or what have you is always right in front of us - it can't be thought up for some future time.

Yup. I've just had way more benefit from it than anything else.
I really don't think that other traditions can do the same thing. I honestly believe that the meditation in the OP will awaken your Kundalini and that without this awakening meditation can only be a mental activity.
There's a multi page thread right now for people giving tips on how to not get bored while meditating and how to endure their practice for more than 10 minutes at a time... I'm pretty sure I'm not alone among Sahaja Yogis (by any small measure) to say that this kind of thing hasn't bothered me at all since after a few months of daily meditation and foot soaking. And obviously the meditations in the beginning period were enjoyable enough for me to keep the practice daily for that long.
