Health knowledge made personal
I actually had the pleasure of meditating in a group once. That was the first and only time Ive experienced a Kundalini Energy Awakening. I was not doing Chakra mediation at the time, yet I felt and saw a rush of red energy coming at me from my root chakra. Since that moment, my meditation has been a lot more intense and I am actually in the process of looking for ways to ground all this newfound energy. Meditation groups can be a great thing but I think the experience you will have meditating in a group will be very different, perhaps much more intense, than meditating on your own. Its a personal decision. I think people should try both to see which way feels most comfortable to them.
All the best to you and yours,

Meditate in a Group
Posted by Stephanie B.
If you are having problems meditating by yourself, then try meditating in a group. The group is beneficial in a number of ways:
1. It forces you to sit still and be quiet if just due to peer pressure.
2. Group meditations will often have some guidance at the beginning.
3. If you believe in group "energy," then that energy will help your meditation become deeper and more fulfilling.
Note that in group meditations, you are often required to sit in a cross-legged position for a lengthy period of time. This can cause your legs to fall asleep or be painful. You can often improve your comfort with a meditation cushion or a simple meditation bench that allows you to fold your legs underneath while putting the weight of your body on the bench.
