Isha kriya is a simple, free guided meditation designed by sadhguru. It is
a powerful spiritual process for everyday practice. Isha kriya is a 12 min extremely
simple but powerful tool. It is a process of combining your thought, breath and
awareness which enhances your ability to use the mind & the body.
Isha kriya happens in 3 stages. In stage 1, you have to inhale and
exhale slowly & mentally say to yourself I’m not the body, I’m not even the
mind. Stage 2 is about uttering the sound ‘Aaam’ 7 times. In stage 3, you have
to sit for 5- 6 minutes with a slightly upturned face and keep a mild focus between
your eyebrows.
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 mind just ignore it and simply sit. Also, it is not advisable to take a break in between the practice. The kriya will yield maximum benefits if you do it for a minimum of 12 minutes each time.

for health - Directional Movements
In a world full of hectic lifestyles, desk-jobs and pollution, health
seems a faraway thing. Sadhguru gives the unique yogic perspective on health.
By paying attention to a few simple fundamentals, you can ensure good health
for yourself.
This upa yoga practice is a simple way to activate the energy nodules in
your joints and exercise your muscles bringing ease to the whole system.
Sadhguru says when we lie in horizontal postures for a few hours during sleep
the lubricating fluids in our body tend to settle down & are not in
circulation.
So, when we wake up our body is demanding to lubricate our joints first.
Directional movements is a simple way of doing this. It also exercises the
muscles without any risk of injury unlike the exercises that you do in gym. Our
joints have a concentration of energy nodules so by activating them everything
in the system gets ignited for action.
3 3. Yoga
for Peace – Nadi Shuddhi
The nadi shuddhi practice cleanses the nadis – the pathways through
which energy flows resulting in a balanced system and psychological wellbeing. The
word nadi shuddhi means cleansing the nadis. There are 72,000 nadis or energy
pathways in the human system.
These 72,000 nadis are a branch out of the two nadis i.e. ida &
pingala. Pingala nadi is the right or masculine energy channel while ida nadi
is the left or feminine energy channel. When we say nadi shuddhi it is about
cleansing fundamentally the pingala and ida so that energy system will work in
balance. There is a connection between your thought breath and your mental structure.
To bring balance to your thought a very important step that you need to take is
that if you want to bring balance to your activity, your emotion and the results
of your life & the impact that you have on other peoples lives, nadi
shuddhi plays an important role.
4 4. Yoga
for love – Namaskar Process
Namaskar process: The many nerve endings in your palms make them very sensitive, you can change your chemistry to foster love within. According to Sadhguru, the word yoga means union – union of all polarities, of masculine & feminine, yin and yang, individual and universal, Shiva shakti, right brain and left brain or whatever else you may want to call them.
To achieve this blessed union, the simplest form is the yoga of namaskar.
Putting two hands in alignment with each other at the level of your heart will
bring you to a certain harmony between polarities within. That in turn brings a
sense of being united with whoever or whatever the namaskar is aimed at.
In placing your hands together, the dualities of likes and dislikes,
your cravings and aversions, are leveled out and there is a certain oneness to
the experience of ‘who you are’. Try putting your hands in namaskar for a few
minutes every day and experience the change within yourself.
5. Yoga
for success: Neck Practices
In evolution, a vertical spine corresponds to a leap in capability. This
simple practice keeps the spine healthy and active, and can-do wonders.
According to Sadhguru, both the neurological and the energy systems
branch out in a big way, between the shoulder blades and above. So, keeping the
neck region in a good condition is very important.
Within 3-4 minutes of doing this neck practices, you will distinctly see
that you are much more alert and the lethargy in the body will be obliterated
& there is a higher way of neuronal regeneration. Memory and intellectual
sharpness also improve.
6 6. Yoga
for Joy – Nada Yoga
Nada yoga - the yoga of sound or reverberation – allows you to utter the
sounds that create inner atmosphere of joy, making it a natural way to be.
Sadhguru says, that modern science is proving to you that the whole existence
is just a reverberation.
Where there is reverberation there is bound to be a sound. So, the whole
existence is sound. The root sounds for this complex amalgamation of sounds are
aaa, ooo & mmm. Without employing your tongue, you would be able to make
only these 3 sounds. By placing your tongue in different positions within the cavity
of your mouth, you get to mix these 3 sounds and produce all the other
sounds. Aaa, ooo & mmm are the basis of all the other sounds that you can
utter.
They are referred to as the basic sounds or the universal sounds. If you
utter these sounds together you get the sound ‘Aum’ If you utter these sounds
carefully different aspects of your body are activated and energized. Uttering
these 3 sounds has innumerable benefits.
If you are suffering from psychological disturbances like excessive fear,
nightmares or unstable mind or body and if your general constitution is weak,
you tend to fall sick too often. Particularly for children who have attention
disorders, daily utterance of these sounds will make an enormous difference.
7 7. Yoga
for Inner Exploration – Shambhavi Mudra
Shambhavi mudra is an easy, effortless, process that enhances your
perception and makes you receptive to that dimension of life, often termed as
grace.
According to Sadhguru, in the history of humanity this has happened to
many truly scintillating human beings. They have shone brighter than the stars
in the sky. But why is it that one seems to come with enormous capability and another
has to struggle with every little aspect of life. If you consider yourself to
be a mechanism you have a body & a mind. You may have a great body and a
great mind but what you call as grace is the lubrication.
Without the necessary lubrication, you get stuck at every point. Many
number of people like this are there on this planet – intelligent, capable but
at every corner in their life they get stuck because there is no lubrication.
So, it is important for a human
being to have an element of grace in their lives. Shambhavi mudra is a process
that is like opening a window so that one becomes receptive to grace.
