Amazing health benefits ~ Notes from California

Jen L2
Jennifer Lomboy, an Isha meditator from California shares her experience of Inner Engineering and the amazing health changes she experienced.
Just over one and a half years ago, I found fibroid tumors in my uterus, so many they formed the size of a grapefruit.  Because of the size and location of tumors, it created great discomfort and started to interfere with my lifestyle and drastically limited my activities.   I had become anemic and weakened by the heavy menstrual bleeding caused by this condition that at one point, I even passed out.  Adding to the complications, was the tumors seemed to be growing rapidly.  The timing of finding all this out was that it came 3 months after going to a talk one day in West Los Angeles by Sadhguru about the “Inner Engineering” program.   What started off as a text from my friend with the words “Do you know a man called Sadhguru?” ended up leading to the day that changed my life, and I became determined to do an Inner Engineering program later that Fall in Long Beach.  Finding out about the tumors months later became an added incentive to do the Inner Engineering program.  For reasons that I can’t explain, I completely knew and trusted this program would help me.
After seeing various doctors, they all told me no medicine would work, nothing would shrink the tumors because of the size, and I would need a hysterectomy.  I was told that at best, based on their experiences with treating other patients with very large fibroid tumors, maybe drug treatments could keep tumors from growing, but not shrink them.  If it shrunk, it wouldn’t be by much.  What would be left would still be large. Out of concern for my well-being, the medical staff, including nurses and PAs when they had me alone privately, tried to talk “sense” into me and tried to urge me to have surgery asap.   But, I managed to convince my doctor to give me six more months before we would consider surgery, knowing I would have done the Inner Engineering program by then.  After doing the program with Sadhguru, and as time went on and I did the Shambhavi Mahamudra practice every day (most of the time twice a day) the tumors actually started to disappear.  You used to see the physical “bump” of tumors protruding outside of my belly as I have a small frame, but slowly the bump receded.
As the tests results would come in, my two doctors and the medical staff couldn’t believe it.   Neither my family nor friends could believe it either.  Now, at least 80% of the tumors are gone (maybe more, haven’t done x-ray recently). I feel great now, and I’m doing the things I used to do, and then some I never imagined I would!  So, now I’ve gone from going to doctor’s appointments three-four times a month to where my next doctor’s visit will not be for six months for check up!  What’s more amazing is that doing the daily kriya brought me to such a level of  joy, calm, and buoyancy on the inside, and more ability to encompass the vicissitudes of life, that it actually started not to matter so much what the medical results would be.   There is a photo posted on the ceiling of my doctor’s office of a beautiful beach paradise.  They printed the words on it, “Pretend you are here.”  The Shambhavi Mahamudra creates an inner paradise in you every day.  It’s real, so pretending is unnecessary.  Inner Engineering doesn’t only transform your health, it transforms you!

40 days of Shambhavi Maha Mudra Kriya

I have completed 40 days of practicing Shambhavi Maha Mudra Kriya twice a day, and in this post, I would like to share with you my experience of it so far. But first, let’s start at the beginning. At the end of September, I attended Inner Engineering, a course conducted by Sadhguru’s Isha foundation. I have been following Sadhguru for the last few years. I have completed inner engineering online (this is not a pre-requisite for the teacher-led program) and also the Hata Yoga Surya Kriya program ( you can read about my experience here) . My husband has also been practicing for the last two years, so the prospect of taking this course was not new to me, and yet, everything was. This blog post isn’t to share much about the specific events of the program,  the teachings, the exercises, the schedule or the initiation to the kriya itself. I truly believe it is something you need to experience for yourself. Words can only take you so far, and besides...

Can Shambhavi Mahamudra Help During Pregnancy?

Although not all types of yogic practices are advisable for pregnant women, the practice of yoga is very important and even crucial in making an expectant mother’s experience of pregnancy, child birth and parenthood as wonderful as it can be. Isha’s flagship program, Inner Engineering  offers Shambhavi Mahamudra , an ancient kriya that brings harmony to one’s body, mind, emotion and energy. Of special importance to a pregnant mother are the increase in vitality, balanced moods and emotions. Today we take a look at the experiences of two Isha Yoga practitioners, and how Shambhavi Mahamudra has helped with their pregnancies. "You are not just giving a body to the child, in many ways who you are is imprinted on the child. So how you keep yourself during pregnancy is a very important thing." ~ Sadhguru Joanna Neale, Australia I did the Inner Engineering Program with Sadhguru while I was pregnant. Everyone at Isha was so positive, happy and kind....

Experience of 40 days of Shambhavi Maha Mudra

When I had ventured out to attend the DoPT organised Isha course  at Coimbatore  with Niyati, I somehow knew that I needed it and felt a strong urge to value whatever it ends up teaching. I guess I did end up valuing it as I stand here completing the prescribed mandala of 40 days. This implies that I managed to do the twice-a-day cycles of Shambhavi Mahamudra, albeit with occasional (possibly minimal) breaks in discipline consistently for 40 days that follow the course. I enjoyed the sense of discipline that it gave me. A hidden sense of judgement seemed to come to the fore as the days passed. Yet, when I'm asked as to what has changed in me since, a sense of bafflement engulfs me. I can't really pin point as to what has changed or how much it has changed and how it has benefited me as a causal relationship result.  But in an attempt to honestly assess myself as I try to see within, I feel that maybe - Maybe, In my desperate attempts ...
