Engineering your Insides for Wellbeing?

Dec 20, 2018

After consuming Sadhguru’s videos on YouTube like a serial chip addict for well over a year, the time came to take things to another level. 
 


I mean everything I heard this man say appealed to my logic and sounded like truth bomb after truth bomb. I simply couldn’t resist.  After a quick Google search, I discovered this man is by no means playing small. He has a foundation (Isha Foundation) run by volunteers and conducts programs all over the world that promotes human wellbeing. Talk about being the change! Lucky for me, there was an Inner Engineering program being conducted right here in Perth 2 weeks from the date I looked.

 

As there is a technology to create external wellbeing, there is a whole dimension of science and technology to create inner wellbeing.

What is Inner Engineering?

I didn’t know, I thought the name was rather off putting and sounded very Indian (and I’m Indian) but what the hell…the seeker in me couldn’t resist. I registered my husband and myself for the program.

Unbeknown to me, the program was run by a trained teacher not Sadhguru himself. The first two evenings I found a little strange in relation the to the strictness and delivery. Admittedly the thought did cross my mind that this could be some kind of cult.  But, past experience has taught me that you never really know with these things until the very end. So I committed and attended. 

My Experience

For me, the program was nothing short of phenomenal. I do love how the universe gives you exactly what you need at exactly the right time. It didn’t actually matter that Sadhguru wasn’t physically there, his presence permeated everything that was being offered. What this man teaches covers every aspect of life and as I have continued on my journey with the Isha Foundation and their Hatha Yoga School, I’ve come to learn that I really know nothing about anything.

During the program we were initiated into a practice called Shambavi Maha Mudra. To say WOW would be inadequate.  This isn’t a yoga session where you’ll find you super lean, flexible Lululemon tight wearing students doing impossible poses (sorry Lululemon… I do love your tights, but it ain’t suitable for yoga…another post on proper yoga wear to come). This yoga is for everybody from the nimble to the rigid and elderly. It is vast and covers so much more than asana (which is what we think yoga is in the West). The reorganisation of energies that occurs during the initiations and how the practice unfolds post course is simply beautiful. 

Post Program…

I completed the Inner Engineering Total program in August 2017 and have immersed myself in the yogic science as taught by Sadhguru. The practices I have learned continues to open me up in ways that I never thought possible. Some days after my practice, I just sit there and tears of joy flow down my cheeks, my face hurts from smiling which feels like an outpouring of what’s inside (that’s just the beginning). The great sages, yogis and enlightened being of the past all said ‘know thy self. ‘ This yoga is a technology that I believe is helping me do just that. It continues to peel away all the layers and layers of bs that I have identified with and creates an internal situation in my body that is balanced, harmonious, vibrant and peaceful. 

Learn More

 I’ve noticed that they don’t really give you too much information about any of their programs, especially their advanced programs. My guess is so you go with an open mind instead of limiting your experience with someone else’s – that’s just my opinion. There is however a free webinar that your can register for or book available for purchase with additional information on Inner Engineering.
