Breathing, Living, Being... is becoming FUNNER because off Shambhavi Mahamudra




Yesterday I completed one year of practicing Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya since initiation. 40 days twice a day, 6 months once a day - and thereafter forever more! :)

I haven't missed a single day or single practice - whether I was in a plane, train, hotel, hospital - anything!

Time is no measure of any practice - but it is a good check point to stop and look back at just how far you have come. I cannot fully express what my journey has been for the past year... but I did write something on some of the benefits this magnificent gift of Isha has brought about in my life.

An ardent Devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba and Lord Shiva - my Devotion is deepening because of It. A Gita Yoga practitioner and Teacher - my Practice is taking on all new levels because of It. A student of Vedanta - my personal experiences of Its Mystical Truths are concretizing because of It.

A mum - My “mommying” is being weaved in a silky cocoon of dedicated awareness because of It. A wife - my marriage is gaining more meaning, fulfillment and direction because of It. A daughter, a sister, a student, an employer, a relative, a friend - every relationship is steadily becoming more honest and forthright because of It.

Because of It - I am judging less and accepting more, be it people or situations. I am keenly listening to my Soul’s convictions and reveling in the bliss of living my Truth(s) and walking my talk. Revolting firmly when needed, stepping back in humility when I am wrong ... I am recognizing the Inner Teacher’s subtle voice guiding my every thought, word and action.

A fragment of Divinity am I - The realization of that Eternal Truth is becoming experientially palpable because of It. A human being - the immensity of that Possibility I am beginning to fully comprehend and earnestly explore because of It.

My laughter, my tears, my love, my gratitude, my passions, my angst, my insignificance and significance... are all establishing their appropriate places in the rhythm of my life because of It.

I feel the warmth of the Sun, I draw from the fullness of the Moon, I merge with the twinkling of the Stars, I embrace the Wind and dance in the Rain... ALL ... because of It.

Breathing, Living, Being... is becoming FUNNER ... because of It!

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....

Amazing health benefits ~ Notes from California

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 ...
