Sadhguru: Isha Kriya is an extremely simple process but a powerful tool. These three ingredients – your breath, your thought and your awareness, in the right combination if you use them, your ability to use the mind and the body is so greatly enhanced that you almost look super human for somebody else. But I’m telling you, “This is human.” This is not about being super human.
This is about realizing, ‘Being human is super.’ Speaker: Isha Kriya instructions. Preparation: Sit in a crossed-legged p
osture
with spine comfortably erect. If needed use a backrest but no headrest. Doing the kriya facing east offers extra benefits. Keep your hands upon your thighs, with your palms facing upwards. With your face slightly upturned, eyes closed,
keep a mild focus between your eyebrows. This meditation will happen in three stages. Stage 1: inhale and exhale gently, slowly. With each inhalation mentally say to yourself,
“I’m not the body.” The inhalation should last
for the whole duration of that tho
ught. With each exhalation mentally say to yourself,
“I’m not even the mind.” The exhalation should last
for the whole duration of that thought. Repeat this for 7 to 11 minutes. Stage 2: Utter the sound, ''Aaa'' seven times with
mouth wide open, exhaling fully into each sound. The sound should come from just below the navel. You need not utter it very loud but loud enough
to feel the vibration of the sound. Stage 3: Sit for 5 to 6 minutes with a slightly upturned face, and keep a mild focus bet
ween your eyebrows. The total time of this practice is between
12 to 18 minutes. You can sit longer if you wish. Please note, when you sit to do Isha Kriya, do not pay attention to the activity of the mind or body. Whatever is happening in your body or your mind,
just ignore it and simply sit there. Do not take a break in between as it will disturb the reorganization of energies
that happens during the practice. The kriya will yield maximum benefits if you
do it for a minimum of 12 minutes each
time. Do it twice a day for 48 days,
considered as a full mandala or cycle, Or once a day for ninety days Anyone can practice this Kriya and enjoy its benefits. Simply follow the instructions
without making any changes. This is a simple but very potent Kriya. You can remind yourself that, “I’m not the body,
I’m not even the mind” anytime during the day. It would be best to use the voice in the video
as a support when doing the Kriya. However, you can also do it
without using the voice support. S
adhguru: Sit in a crossed-legged posture
and keep your hands open, facing upward. Sit with your face slightly upturned. The moment you sit this way,
with a slightly upturned face, you will see naturally your focus
will shift between your eyebrows. So maintain this mild focus between your eyebrows. As I utter these two sentences, with inhalation you take this thought “I’m not this body,”
with exhalation ”I’m not even this mind.” (Please Close Your Eyes)
“I am not the body; I am not even the mind.
” Sadhguru: ''Aaa'' Sadhguru: Keep your eyes closed and just sit still,
with your face slightly turned upward. Sounds of Isha music – Instrumental Music... Sadhguru chants Yogarathova Bhogarathova… Sadhguru: Take your own time, take your own time,
slowly, very slowly open your eyes. Speaker: Daily practice of Isha Kriya will bring
health, dynamism, prosperity and well-being. It is a powerful tool to cope
with the hectic pace of modern life and empowers people to experience
their lives to its ful
lest potential.

Let me just say..Because of me doing this meditation twice a day now,I am very proud to say,that for the first time in 10 years,I feel like the old happy me again!! I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist 10 years ago,with C-PTSD(Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). But now..I beat the odds,and because of this meditation,I reprogrammed my brain & reversed the C-PTSD for good! ❤
I saw my father during meditation. He passed away in 2007. But i felt his hug, his touch. I opened my eyes with tears but i wasn’t sad anymore, i was happy. Thank you Sadghuru. You’re a blessing❤️
(All credits to Vijay S from the original video) To those wondering about what he sang at the end, he sang three stanzas from a 2,000 year old composition by Adi Sankara called 'Bhaja Govinda'. Adi Sankara sang it back then taking humans around him to task for not focusing on the truth & divine and instead wasting time on material pleasures. The meaning of the 3 stanzas he sang is as follows: Yogaratova bhogaratova sangaratova sanga-viheena; yasyad brahmani ramate chittam nandathi nandathi nandathyeva -- Some take pleasure in and get addicted to actions w purpose (yoga), some take pleasure in and get addicted to luxuries/luxurious lifestyle, while some to company of society and social life, and some to avoiding society and social life. But the one who takes pleasure in and gets addicted to constantly ruminating on the 'brahman', he alone enjoys the real pleasure, no one else, no one else no one else. Sat-sangat-ve nis-sangh-at-vam | nis-sangh-atve nir-mohatvam | nir-mohat-ve nischala-tatvam| nischala-tat-ve jeevan-mukti hi -- The need for constantly seeking company(social life) of some kind loses it's lure/value by associating with vitreous(truthful) humans. Such non-attachment to company (and material stuff) will slowly lead to freedom from delusions and illusions. Such freedom from delusions will eventually lead to liberation from bondage of human death & births. Puanarapi jananam punarapi maranam | punarapi jananee jathare sayanam | iha samsaare bahu dusthaare | Kripaya paare paahi muraare -- Taking new birth after this life ends, and then dying again, and then taking new birth again and then dying again and so on and so forth, oh lord this life and bondage of life and death and birth and life and death and so on is very difficult, so please become compassionate to this misery of mine and protect and liberate me from this bondage oh lord.
4:47 For those who come everyday here
I was emotionally and mentally a mess when this video come in front of me. Been practising it everyday for the last 2 weeks. My anger and sadness has decreased. My mind start producing positive thoughts again. I am more concentrated to my self, my life and feel rejoiced. Thank you Sadhguru!
I have just come out of a traumatic experience and my dad recommended this yoga to help me. I just did it because I needed some sense of security. When Sadguru started the chant post the Aaaaa sound I just cried heavily and couldn’t stop throughout the mantra. Simultaneously my hands went numb and I felt love. Like the universe was holding my face telling me I’m loved. I was disoriented when I opened my eyes and stumbled around when I got up. I don’t know what this means but I feel peaceful and I plan to follow this ardently. Also I wish happiness and love to all.
For those of you who are wondering about the chant at the end, it was composed by Adi Shankaracharya 2000 years ago, urging humans to turn to spirituality. It actually has 18 stanzas, Sadhguru sang 3.
I see what is meant by looking superhuman: We played a big football match on the weekend, the match to win the league for either team. Everyone was so nervous and I was so calm and ready. I feel that my presence rubbed onto my teammates and we ended up winning the match! Not only that, when playing, I was so happy and in such flow that when we won, I didn’t even celebrate like my teammates. Instead I felt the urge to go to the other team and shake their hands. These are the beautiful things that happen when we get a sense of spirituality in our lives. 💖
I have been doing this meditation for the last year every day and I must say it has changed my life. I feel more alive and I injoy every moment of everyday. And my concentration has sky rocketed, from not being able to sit for 5 minutes, to now be able to study for hours on end. So thank you for giving me a introduction to meditation 🙏🏻
I do this every day. It feels great. It helps me to conquer the cancer in my body. It makes me feel calm and peaceful. Thank you
“When things change inside you, things change around you.” 😍
If you’re reading this then it was written for you! You’re awesome and you’re never alone because I care. I love you! Here: take this big fat hug!
Currently withdrawing from anti depressant. I have done 90 day mandala and later 45 day mandala. 5 days ago I decided to leave anti depressant and yesterday decided not to do this kriya for experimental purposes. Until I did the meditation I felt suicidal for few hours felt like crying and life became meaningless. Today I did it again 3 times. I am perfectly fine now. Some days you need it more than other days. Mental health patient should seek medical help along with this kriya it works wonder.
After the 1st session I felt so light like some burden was taken away from me! Wow Thank you Sadhguru!🙏
The person who is watching this Yes YOU I am talking to You. You are awesome and you are going to have a wonderful life. May all your dreams come true.
We are so blessed to be receiving millennials of experience and guidance from the comfort of our home. Oh God I am sorry for all the times I don’t realise how lucky I am to exist. Thank you God for giving me this present
