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...

Sadhguru : Breaking Your Habits – Living Consciously

-
Image
No Give & Take, Just Spring in Your Heart How to balance the give and take of life? A common saying in the Tamil language warns that both the one who always gives and the one who always takes will be ruined. Sadhguru responds to this aphorism, explaining that one who is in tune with the life process, who is like springtime within himself, will naturally give whatever is needed. Article Mar 21, 2017 Q: There is a common saying in Tamil that means, “The family that always donates gets ruined, the family that always receives also gets ruined” – both the giver and the taker! Sadhguru: Essentially, what they are referring to is either always receiving and living on aid, or indiscriminately giving because of your idea of goodness, not because of what the situation needs. If you are giving because you feel that by giving you are being good or that you will buy a ticket to heaven, it is definitely not okay. But when you see a need, if you are unwilling to give whatev...

Sadhguru : Doing the Right Things With Yourself

Image
Doing the Right Things With Yourself In an interview to the Gulf News newspaper before an event at Dubai, Sadhguru looks at how we can take charge of how we experience our life and “Inner Engineer” ourselves. Article Mar 17, 2017 Q: What is Inner Engineering; can you simplify it for me? Why is it the foundation of a successful life? Sadhguru: As there is a technology to create external wellbeing, there is a whole dimension of science and technology to create inner wellbeing. We are not teaching philosophies, ethics or morals. These are simple, powerful methods with which your body and mind naturally function at full potential, peacefully and joyfully. Technology means doing something the way it works. Unless you do the right things within yourself, the right things will not happen. If you are not peaceful, joyful and ecstatic, that means you have not done the right things with this life. Inner Engineering is an exploration of how to do these things right. Q...

Sadhguru : Being Human is Super!

Image
Being Human is Super! In an interview to Gulf News in Dubai, Sadhguru looks at the nature of human experience and how we can take charge of it. Article Mar 19, 2017 Q: Why do we need a book on Inner Engineering? Why this need to constantly tell people how to live their lives? Sadhguru: Isn’t it true that even the simple act of brushing your teeth was taught to you by your mother or father? If they had not taught this, some people might have figured it out by themselves, but most people would not. When it comes to deeper dimensions in life, some people will anyway figure it out, but most people will not. We approach all aspects of our life on the outside in a scientific manner using all kinds of technologies. It is important that we also address our inner wellbeing in a scientific manner using technologies of wellbeing. For a long time, people thought inner wellbeing must be handled through belief, fancy philosophies, ideologies and all kinds of superstiti...

Sadhguru: Karma On Record

Image
  If You Love Sadhguru Please Donate Atleast One Tree Karma On Record A seeker asks Sadhguru, when karma is continuously being recorded in so many ways, is it not an elaborate trap to keep one in suffering? Sadhguru explains that, once one is living by choice rather than compulsion, then no matter what kind of karma you have, what you make out of it is 100% in your hands. Article Aug 10, 2017 Q: Sadhguru, the other day when you were speaking about karma, you said that life has many back up processes for recording karma into a person; the mind, the body, and the energy also. Even if the mind is gone, it’s still engraved in the body and the energy. This sounds like a very elaborate and wicked ploy to keep everything in suffering. Why is this? Sadhguru: See, whenever I speak, you have got three recorders to record my karma, a wicked ploy to ensure that I can never go back on my word. In an unguarded moment if I make a promise, you have got three re...

Sadhguru: Horror Movie of Mind is Your Own Making

  If You Love Sadhguru Please Donate Atleast One Tree Horror Movie of Mind is Your Own Making A young student asks Sadhguru how to overcome a fear of ghosts and the supernatural. Instead of suffering your imagination and memory, Sadhguru replies, if you are watching a free horror movie, just enjoy it! Article Aug 24, 2017 Q: Sadhguru, if you are scared of something, how to overcome that? Like, personally, I am scared of supernatural things and ghosts. Sadhguru: So you are essentially scared of something that you have never seen! What this means is that one very important basic faculty of being human is going out of control. Compared to other creatures, a human being has a very vivid sense of memory. We can remember every aspect of what happened yesterday. Because of this memory, we are able to understand how to handle today. This is what we are calling knowledge or information. What we understood, grasped, or experienced yesterday is today...

  If You Love Sadhguru Please Donate Atleast One Tree Getting Distracted? Just Get Involved! Finding it hard to concentrate and avoid distraction? Sadhguru says, don’t try to focus, just get involved. Article Sep 14, 2017 Are you feeling out of focus in life? Finding it hard to concentrate and avoid distraction? Sadhguru says, don’t try to focus, just get involved. Like a movie-goer captivated by the screen, anything in life can become fascinating simply by one’s involvement. Q: Namaskaram Sadhguru. Every time I plan to do any work or start any work, I will be like, "Okay, I'm gonna do this, no distraction," but somehow I get distracted by food, movies, or whatever reason it is. How to be focused all the time? You say, "Simply sit," but I find it very hard. Sadhguru: Simply sitting may not be in you right now. Do not try to concentrate and focus. It is not a pleasant experience. Just get involved. For example, when you are ...

  If You Love Sadhguru Please Donate Atleast One Tree Fathers and Sons: Karan Johar in Conversation with Sadhguru Sadhguru and Karan Johar discuss the often-tricky relationship between father and son. Article Sep 19, 2017 During a recent edition of “In Conversation with the Mystic”, Karan Johar asked Sadhguru about love, family relationships, and how to deal with negative emotions. In this excerpt, the two discuss the relationship between father and son, which often becomes more complex as years go by. Karan Johar: When we talk about family, there are a few things that have always intrigued me and I seek answers, or rather validation, from a higher energy such as yourself. I’ve always questioned why there is an organic distance between a father and son. Why is there always that angst in this relationship? I am sure there are many here who have experienced this in their own homes, in their own environment. Sadhguru: Because every generation ...

Sadhguru: The Tree That Bears Fruit Will Be Stoned

Image
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: 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: 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...
