The change in my breathing~ IE Experience

“After completing Inner Engineering, one good thing I have noticed in me is that when I get any problem I used to be very tense and worried or depressed. But now, I am able to handle it with clarity, and even sometimes when I look at the problem I laugh instead of feeling stress. I am able to manage my work in the given time with a proper plan and organizing the work schedule. I could really make out the best food practice suitable for my body. With the Practice of Shambhavi Mahamudra, I could see a tremendous change in my breathing.

Earlier I used to have nasal congestion in the early morning during winter, but now I am able to breathe properly.Some times, my mind says ‘skip the practice for today’, but my body will automatically go and sit in the posture, because body already came to know that it is very comfortable and feeling light and at ease after doing the Shambhavi Mahamudra.” –

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 ...
