Sadhguru: Yogic Relief for PMS Mood Swings

Yogic Relief for PMS Mood Swings Sadhguru looks at the fundamental reason why so many women experience emotional turmoil during the biological process of menstruation. Article Apr 7, 2017 Q: I’m experiencing a lot of premenstrual emotional turmoil, and I’m wondering if there are any yogic remedies or practices that can help. Sadhguru: The menstrual cycles, which are physiological in nature, unfortunately cause many women a lot of psychological disturbances, due to lack of synchronization between these two aspects of who you are. There is also an elemental dimension to it. The five elements, which form the most fundamental geometry of the body, have to be in sync as well. Pancha Bhuta processes can ease these issues because they organize the elements within your system. There is nothing miraculous about it. The weird thing is actually that so many women are going through a normal biological process as if it was some abominable thing – simply because...

Where is God? Everywhere You Want

Where is God? Everywhere You Want Where is God? Sadhguru explains, that devotion is such that it can create the Creator. Article Mar 28, 2017 Does God exist? Where is God? Is God omnipresent? Many questions that have never been effectively answered. Sadhguru gives us not an answer to these questions, but a method to access what is beyond the physical and explore life’s innumerable possibilities. Sadhguru: When you say you are on a spiritual path, it means you are looking for truth. But what kind of truth are you looking for? Usually, most people – whether they go to a temple, church, mosque or ashram – are looking for something that pays – something that will benefit them. But for one who is genuinely seeking, truth is not the kind that pays. It gobbles everything. This is not for the smart who want to be “somebody” in the world. Everybody wants to conquer something. Only a fool aspires to be a nobody. Only a fool wants to surrender and be conquered?...

Sadhguru: The Two Ways to Open the Third Eye

Image
The Two Ways to Open the Third Eye Sadhguru discusses the two ways of opening the third eye, and the pitfalls of trying to follow a “middle path”. Article Mar 3, 2017 Sadhguru: The most significant aspect of Shiva is that he opened his third eye. He did many other things – he danced, he meditated, he married twice. All that is fine, but it is only because he opened his third eye that we remember him even today. After thousands of years, we still bow down to him because there is no substitute for knowing. To know is to be free. And there is no way to know unless your perception is enhanced beyond its present limitations. Shiva is significant because he perceived what most human beings failed to perceive. What is unseen for a large segment of humanity became a normal part of his vision. That is what the third eye means. People say when Shiva opened his third eye, fire came out of it. This fire indicates that within himself, he burnt everything that he thoug...

Sadhguru: The Tree That Bears Fruit Will Be Stoned

The Tree That Bears Fruit Will Be Stoned A common saying in the Tamil language warns that the tree that bears fruit will be stoned. Sadhguru responds, only when someone sees the value of the fruit and longs to taste its sweetness, will they take the effort to throw a stone. Article Mar 6, 2017 Q: There is a saying that the tree that bears the fruits will be stoned... Sadhguru: Oh, I know that better than anyone! They will keep throwing stones. If somebody has to take a stone and throw it at you, it takes lot of effort. They are throwing it at you because you are of some value. You are a valuable target! Who would throw a stone at someone who is not worth anything? Unknowingly, unconsciously, people know the fruit is valuable. So we have been stoned quite a bit. But over the years, many of those people have turned around. They are standing under the tree waiting for the fruit to fall into their mouth. That is always how it is. It is alright if people thr...

Sadhguru: Struggling with Daily Yoga

Struggling with Daily Yoga? In this musing, a seeker questions Sadhguru on the struggle to maintain a daily regimen of yoga. Article Mar 30, 2017 Q: Sadhguru, I had done a couple of yoga programsin the past, but the problem is that I'm not able to follow it strictly every day. There was a time when I used to do yoga from morning around 6:00 till around 9:30-10:00, for four or five hours, but I would say that's the peak. After that, it's completely gone. I'm not even doing practices these days, regularly. Why this on and off behavior? How do I change myself? Sadhguru: You should never do yoga strictly - it will not work. And never do yoga for life, just do it today, that is all. “I'm going to do it my whole life.” Do not burden yourself with such nonsense! Today you do it. Enough, okay? Life is so simple. Why do you make it so complicated? “I'm going to do yoga every day of my life.” Please do not do it every day of your life; only ...

Sadhguru: Samadhi – A Taste of “That Which is Not”.docx

Image
Samadhi – A Taste of “That Which is Not” When one has crossed the boundary and tasted “that which is not,” Sadhguru says, this is called samadhi. Article Apr 3, 2017 Sadhguru: The existence is made of “that which is” and “that which is not”. “That which is” has form, shape, qualities, beauty. “That which is not” has none of these things, but it is free. Here and there, “that which is not” spurts into “that which is”. And as “that which is” becomes more conscious, it will long to become “that which is not”. Though one enjoys the form, qualities, attributes and beauty attached to it, the longing to get to a state of utter freedom of being is unavoidable and inevitable. It is just a question of time, and the bondage of time and space also is only the hallucination of “that which is”. “That which is not” neither perceives time nor space because it is boundless and eternal, not shackled by the limitations of time and space.  When this longing to become liberated...
