Maybe it is the Right Time to share with You and the World the Breaking News (at least in our universe) of our unexpected GHP HOLISTIC AWARD WIN for 2026, making Halton proud!
You are Entitled to Know about the Great News featuring our Free-Meditation.ca Blog & Team
We want to share with you some astonishing news received around the Family Day 2026.
As at that time our 100 Seeds of Joy team of volunteers from Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network became increasingly busy with the Youth Wellness and Senior Wellness initiatives launched early in February, and being invited to offer meditation workshops for students and /or teachers, as well being invited to many organizations that are offering services to seniors – all these in addition to our own weekly wellness classes and events offered across the Halton region (and beyond!) – , understandably we had no chance to make this announcement earlier.
Even, more, it kind of “slipped our mind”, this is the simple truth. What to do – we love to meditate and have our minds free.
That is our Superpower! Feeling the Peace & Joy within and Passing them on to All Around us!
As you can see, even (Burlington’s own) Superman joined our Meditation exercise and afterwards Encouraged EVERYONE to Come and Get this New Super Power!
Enjoy a few photos with our team’s meditation activities as well with the blessed surroundings we enjoy in this slice of Mother Earth’s Heaven called the Halton region of Canada
Ok, it seems that we must return to the Topic of this Article and Answer the Question:
Breaking News: Who is One of the Few Canadian Winners of the International GHP Holistic Health Awards 2026?
In fact, towards the end of year 2025 we were contacted by the GHP organization to be informed that we were nominated for this Award and we were asked if we agree with this and for providing additional information. At first, we were not sure if this is something real, we tried to find out who nominated us (which could not be disclosed to us!) and after determining that this is a legit inquiry, we realized we were too busy to provide any additional information to support the award nomination.
We absolutely thought, “this is wonderful, it honors us but it seems that is a world-wide enterprise, there is NO chance for us to ever get such award!“, therefore, we graciously thanked and responded sincerely that we cannot add anything to what was (unknown to us) already provided to the Award Jury as evidence in support of our nomination.
The next phase was when in January 2026, we were contacted to be informed that we made into the Finals!
The Answer is: We, the Volunteers behind the FREE-MEDITATION.CA blog that is sharing our FREE Classes & Events with an Unique Holistic Wellness approach, became a Canadian Winner!
You can see the screenshots from the messages we received, when the Breaking News came our way, so You can feel it too:
We checked the Award Link and here we are listed, proudly & humbly representing our Halton region across the Canadian Winners and of course Canada, across the Worldwide Winners!
This Award brought us hope that people started appreciating the grass roots volunteering movement in providing Free of charge (!) holistic wellness in our community – and our Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of Halton volunteers made a noticeable difference in their 21 years of existence.
It seems that the Award Jury truly explored our Free-Meditation.ca blog and received all the proof and answers they needed; even though this blog is supported through genuine volunteering efforts (no AI is involved and rarely we have guest writers, how in fact tried Sahaja Yoga Meditation themselves, therefore they write from pure conviction, happy to pass it on!
We are forever thankful to our Spiritual Teacher – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (March 21, 1923 – February 23, 2011)- the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation, who lived by example in her selfless dedication to all humanity, inspiring millions of people to pay attention to their wellness from a holistic perspective and achieve their Self-Realization.
