Must try | Isha Products | Herbal Toothpaste

Dearest Gentle Readers,
Since childhood, I was always the Colgate person. In my teenage years, Max Fresh became my companion, and in my thirties, I turned to Red Label. Yet, through all these changes, a quiet sensitivity lingered in my teeth—perhaps the price of my daily lemon water ritual. None of these toothpastes truly eased that discomfort.

Last year, I tried the herbal toothpaste from Isha Life. It carried no taste, no burst of freshness - but it carried something far more precious: gentleness. It was kind to my teeth, and I realized that after a certain period of time, it started taking care of my sensation too. It has since become part of my daily rhythm, traveling with me wherever I go, a silent guardian of my smile.

Our Emotions are just Jucier Thoughts

Since a few days, I have been playing a thought in my mind, but wasn't able to complete the process as it happens sometimes, you know, work/ deadlines/ social circle/ bal bla.....

Today, I consciously took the time and sat to think over it, and this dawned upon me...

We tallk about emotions and feelings as something separate from our thoughts. ANd this made sense to me too. because we all know that we think from our mind and feel from our heart. But if we pause for a whie, our heart "actually does not feel", it just pumps blood.

Whetever feelings and emotions we experience, is the game of the brain - the same instrument that we use for thinking and generating ideas (some beautiful, some devious). Isint it?

So, just as Sadhguru says, our emotions are also thoughts just more jucier than our normal thoughts. But over a period of time, our brain is patterned in such a way that we consider the source of our thoughts and emotions as completely different. One may say that we do not think emotions, we feel them. So here is what I derived after putting some more thoughts into it...from ...from a purely biological standpoint, an emotion is basically just a thought dressed up in chemicals.

When you have a regular, "dry" thought—like remembering you need to buy milk—your brain processes it pretty quietly. But when you have a "juicy" thought—like a sudden wave of fear, love, or anger—your brain doesn't just keep it in the intellectual department. It releases a cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that flood your entire body. Your stomach drops, your muscles tense, your heart rate shifts.

Because we experience this physical reaction throughout our bodies, we tricked ourselves into inventing a separate entity called "feelings" and assigned them to the heart. It’s a great poetic metaphor, but scientifically, it's just a heavily subsidized thought package.

So here is my deep realization: if emotions are just thoughts with a physical echo, then we have way more agency over them than we think. We often say, "I can't help how I feel." But if a feeling is just a thought wearing a costume, maybe we can look past the costume. By changing the underlying narrative—the dry thought at the center of the juice—the entire emotional reaction has to shift.

We aren't victims of separate, mysterious forces called emotions. We are just dealing with high-definition, immersive thoughts. And once you realize it's all happening in the exact same room of the mind, the separation vanishes. What do you guys think?

Anand Alai and my experience 💕🙏😌

Some realizations don't come as a sudden revelation. They unfold quietly.

Attending Ananda Alai, a five-day program where Sadhguru explains the deeper dimensions of Inner Engineering and the science behind its tools..has been one such experience.

As I listened to the discourses and participated in the guided meditations, I wasn't just learning something new. I was beginning to understand what had already been happening within me.

Many subtle shifts that had unfolded over time, without me fully recognizing them, suddenly became clear. Things I had experienced but couldn't explain found words. Practices I had simply followed began to reveal their purpose. It felt like pieces of a puzzle gently falling into place.

Sometimes transformation is so gradual that you don't notice it while it's happening. It is only when you pause and look back that you realize how profoundly your way of seeing and experiencing life has changed.

Grateful to Sadhguru, and to everyone who made this beautiful program possible. 🙏

Can I practice Miracle of Mind meditation while lying down?

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the Miracle of Mind meditation.

Due to comfort and physical reasons, I sometimes find it easier to lie down instead of sitting. Is it okay to practice the meditation while lying on my back, or is it important to remain seated?

Will lying down reduce the effectiveness of the meditation, or is the experience generally the same as long as I'm alert and not falling asleep?

If you've tried both sitting and lying down, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Did you notice any difference in focus, awareness, or the overall benefits?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

What happens if our ESCAPE becomes a BLACK & WHITE canvas ?

In this constantly changing world and fast-paced life, we seldom pause to admire the beauty around us. When life knocks us down, most of us turn toward nature, poetry, cooking, music, or a short outdoor getaway.

This heals.

But what if our getaway became a "black and white" canvas? Would the experience be the same? If I ponder it, it’s the hues and colors of nature that truly play a role in healing.

Beautiful flowers, scenic views, a lovely, colorful capsicum in our meal, or a poem about a cascading spring.

Where do they get their beauty from? Who gives them strength and nourishes them so this beautiful nature is always there for us.

It is mother earth—the soil. The very same soil that creates deep yellow turmeric, wine-red beets, pure white radishes, and beautiful purple brinjals. Same soil, different hues. It gives us green grass, and of course, the mesmerizing "Valley of Flowers." In a world that often drains us, the soil quietly works beneath our feet, painting the very colors that bring us back to life.

New to Isha Kriya

Just started Isha Kriya. I've done it twice now, doing the guided practice on Sadhguru app and both times I feel like I've hit a wall around the 7 minute mark, like my mind says "okay, we're done here" even though the guided practice goes longer.

Is this a common experience for beginners? Does it usually take a few sessions before you can sit through the whole thing

Your thoughts and emotions are your ghosts. You create them, then they go out of control and haunt you. This is a badly directed horror movie. - Sadhguru.

Even that is not the problem. The problem is the movie run by itself. It's said that we create them, but it's more like in us they get created by themselves and they run also naturally automatically. At least this is my experience. And they also makes us think we are just a part of them, this how emotions also emote and they also gives us the feeling without them our inside is empty. This is the most dangerous part of their horror movie. And we believe that, then we catch hold the horror movie so tightly that we never feel empty within. Then, another problem starts. We can't be at ease. All the time movie playing. Then, instead of that most dangerous part of the horror movie we seek rescue. Then, after all the outside failure drama we scream within. Then, someone who knows that we are not the part of the drama, only thinking so shows us the way to be free. Rather, frees us.

Hardship and Suffering

"Hardship is a situation we go through. Suffering is a psychological state we create.-Sadhguru"

Almost all of us have undergone/are undergoing a lot of hardships of in our lives including related to our our study, job, family, relations, monetary. Sadhguru has summed up many facets of our life in these two lines. 

Hardship on a day today basis are a regular feature of our life however it is the suffering which is most important which is there along with any Hardship. Hardship related to any subject matter is an external event however suffering is purely psychological state that we ourselves create to the hardship.

Thus, during any hardship if we create suffering - instead of handling the hardship we will have to handle two situations one in terms of the hardship and other in terms of psychological suffering that we are undergoing at that time.

So the best way to handle the hardship is to find an answer as to how to handle the hardship rather than doing the opposite of it in terms of creating psychological suffering  because if we create suffering, the suffering will further complicate the ongoing Hardship (instead of resolving it) and will become an impediment to the improvement or betterment of that particular situation.

How Many More Namaskars, Sadhguru?

​

The first time I visited the Isha Yoga Center, just before reaching the entrance, I saw a poster of Sadhguru doing a Namaskar. It had a simple line that stayed with me:

"Unfold your being with folded hands."

During the COVID period, I also came across Sadhguru's video on Namaskar Yoga—perhaps the simplest form of yoga. He explained that simply bringing your palms together with loving attention, whether to a person, an animal, a tree, or even life itself, can create harmony within you and with the world around you.

Believe me, when I returned home, I started greeting everyone with a Namaskar to friends, strangers, shopkeepers, anyone I met.

People were shocked. 😂

Inside the Yoga Center, everyone naturally greets one another with a Namaskar. Outside, however, the world has become so guarded that even a smile can make someone uncomfortable. Still, no matter how the other person reacted, I continued to offer my Namaskar with loving attention.

As I explored more of the tools offered by Sadhguru, I discovered Yoga Namaskar a 6 minute practice that can really test your squatting skills! It may look simple, but if practiced with full involvement and proper guidance, it powerfully activates the spine.

It quickly became a part of my daily routine alongside the simple Namaskar.

Please try Yoga namaskar for once all of you who are reading this.

Then winter arrived, and with it came Shivanga Sadhana.

Shivanga Sadhana deserves an article of its own because of how transformative it has been for me. For now, I'll just mention Shiva Namaskar, which is part of the sadhana. It builds strength, discipline, and commitment. And it can also serve as an alarm clock for your neighbours because it is practiced before sunrise while chanting "Shiva." 😄

If you're worried about waking everyone up or you're not yet able to practice before sunrise you can also do it after sunset.

So now I know:

Namaskar

Yoga Namaskar

Shiva Namaskar

Then came my Shoonya initiation.

There I learned Surya Shakti, the purest form of Surya Namaskar offered in the Isha Hatha Yoga tradition. It is a complete, powerful practice that works every part of the body. I have become completely addicted to it because the difference it makes in my body, energy, and overall wellbeing is something I can clearly experience every day.

Looking back, I realize that all these different Namaskars are not just physical practices. They are tools that help me become more present to stop endlessly analyzing the past or imagining the future, and simply be here.

Thank you, Sadhguru, for sharing these incredible tools.

How many more Namaskars are waiting for me? 😊

Registered at the last minute. Didn't expect Ananda Alai program to affect me like this

I registered just before the registrations closed.

When I first heard about Ananda Alai for refreshing Shambhavi, I thought, "I already remember the instructions and I'm probably doing the practice correctly. Why do I need this?"

But apart from the practice itself, things were not going well. There were some unexpected physical problems and a lot of confusion about different aspects of life. Those things finally pushed me to register.

Day 1

Nothing much happened. The session started and ended. That was it.

(This is just my experience. Others may have had completely different experiences. I'm only sharing what it was like for me.)

Day 2

There was a Sadhguru talk. I had definitely heard it before, but this time it felt completely different.

The words were the same, but they reached somewhere deeper. It wasn't like learning something new. It was more like something I already knew was being seen more clearly.

I hardly slept that night. Not because I was disturbed. Strangely, I wasn't irritated about not sleeping either. There was just a sense of calm.

Day 3

Since I hadn't slept properly, I fell asleep in the early morning and woke up late. I almost skipped the session, but somehow joined the last one.

I'm glad I did.

Again, the talks felt very relevant to where I am right now. It wasn't that Sadhguru was answering my personal questions. In fact, if I had been given a chance to ask, I don't even know if I could have framed those questions.

But while listening, many confusions started becoming clear. Things that had been bothering me for quite some time didn't feel as heavy anymore.

I only hope I don't forget these things and end up creating the same unnecessary suffering again.

Day 4

Again, I couldn't sleep because of external disturbances.

Still, I found myself waiting for the session to begin.

During one of the processes, something happened that I still can't explain. This wasn't even an in-person program. It was online. Yet the experience was so intense that my mind immediately started questioning it.

"What exactly is happening? Is this real? Am I just imagining it?"

I don't have answers.

My mind still wants logic. But at the same time, it cannot deny what I experienced in those moments.

Some experiences don't fit into neat explanations.

Whatever it was, it left a deep impression on me.

If even a little of what I experienced stays with me, I'll consider myself fortunate.

One thing this program has shown me is that even when we think, "It's just a small program," there is something valuable in it.

Sadhguru keeps creating opportunities for people to go beyond their limitations.

Whether we make use of them or not is entirely up to us.

✨ Joyfully looking forward to Day 5 😊🙏🌸

I don’t even pass an opinion on my dogs…

In this week’s Spot, Sadhguru answers a question regarding his view on one of the spiritual leaders of India. “I have no views about anything in this world, not just one person. I really have no opinion about anybody, actually, because why should you form an opinion about somebody? It is such a waste of life and energy.”

During the Q&A at Friday’s Darshan, I was asked about my views on one of the spiritual leaders of India.

I have no views about anything in this world, not just one person. I really have no opinion about anybody, actually, because why should you form an opinion about somebody? It is such a waste of life and energy. If you know something, you know something. If you don't know something, you don't know something. If you find something is good for you, then you go ahead. What’s the problem? If it is good for you, you should go ahead. What is the issue?

About me passing an opinion on somebody - I never thought, within myself, that I was so important that I must pass an opinion on anything for that matter. I don’t even pass an opinion on my dogs in the house. I just watch them everyday, seeing that maybe they will be different tomorrow and they are. I see how their behavior changes as they mature - how they were when they were puppies, when they became adolescents, and now that they have matured. So everyday, as they grow, I watch how they are maturing. It is quite an amazing thing for me to watch how a dog, which has reached a certain age, has formed his habits - he functions by instinct - but still, he has a character of his own. And between the two dogs, how different they are! The same breed, but how different they are in their character, likes and dislikes, and even the way they respond to people is not the same.

So when even a little puppy has so much character and is changing, isn't it a crime to form an opinion? I have never formed an opinion on anybody. I am not good at these things. Right from my childhood, I have been reading the newspaper, but as a rule, I never, ever read an editorial in any newspaper because it is somebody’s opinion and I’m not interested. I read the news but never the editorial because I don’t want to listen to anybody’s opinion, nor do I expect that anybody should listen to my opinion. When I speak, I am speaking what I see.

People reduce themselves into a bundle of opinions, which are essentially prejudices about other lives. The moment you form an opinion about someone or something, you cannot mingle in abandon, and that means you cannot experience anything or anyone but only soak in your own opinions. Opinions are like cataracts upon the eyes - definitely not for someone who is looking to enhance his perception or vision.

Are we going to die without ever experiencing the boundlessness Sadhguru talks about?

Think about how there's no other Sadhguru.
He even talked about how there's only one person who is enlightened like him but that person has now passed away.

This spiritual journey is very hopeless, what makes you think out of the billions of people who fail, you'll be the exception that gets to experience what Sadhguru talks about when he talks about transcending the body & mind?

Sadhguru's quote's on Devi Linga Bhairavi: Day 5 🪷🔱🔥🙏

If Devotion has melted your Heart, Devi will yield and serve you in a million different ways; in ways that you cannot understand." -Sadhguru

True devotion is about opening your heart and surrendering completely. When love and surrender become deep, you naturally become receptive to Linga Bhairavi Devi's grace. Her blessings may not always come in the way you expect, but they will come in the way that is best for you.

Linga Bhairavi Devi can remove obstacles, guide your life, protect you, and create possibilities that your mind could never imagine. Often, you may only realize Her grace when you look back at your journey. The more you offer yourself with trust and devotion, the more life begins to flow with ease. Devi responds not to words, but to the sincerity of your heart.

The reason you get so worked up is because you have forgotten to be easy about life. If you drop Self-Significance, you shall know the Significance of Life. - Sadhguru.

Self-Significance comes from outside collections. Other's ideas, their morals, judgements also the thinking processes all mind collects and make one's identity significant. Because so much energy has been put their, even we want to leave all these we start thinking will it be worth enough. It's our energy investment which makes it significant. Because of our attention it becomes significant. Because of our too much involvement in those collected mess when we be Life we can not be at ease for long. Mind starts playing it's own tendencies to distract us from there and be caught up in it. It's absolutely astonishing when we remain in the mess of mind, we feel like we are something. When we be above of it, we question! Are we nothing? Mess defines us not freedom! This maybe because Life is always absolutely perfect, and all the problems are of here; so mind thinks it should always pay attention to this side. In doing so, mind takes it so seriously that it overpowers the truth. Then, it starts searching for truth after knowing that here nothing could be ever absolutely perfect.

The MOM Effect

Dearest Gentle Readers,

I have completed two cycles of 108 days with the 7‑minute Moment of Meditation (MOM) practice. Though brief, those seven minutes have made a remarkable difference - steadying my heart rate and calming my mind.

If you are new to yoga or meditation, begin here. Seven minutes a day is enough to shift anxiety, irritation, and inner restlessness into clarity and ease. A small step, yet a true game‑changer. ✨

Sadhguru's quote's on Devi Linga Bhairavi: Day 4 🪷🔱🔥🙏

One who earns Devi's Grace is a Blessed Being. You will live a life that is well beyond your imagination, competence, and capabilities." - Sadhguru

When Devi is with you, even the biggest obstacles begin to lose their hold. What feels impossible today can become possible through Her blessings. She gives strength when you feel weak, hope when you feel lost, and courage when life feels uncertain.

Devi Linga Bhairavi's grace helps you move forward with trust instead of fear. It is not just about getting what you want, but becoming capable of receiving something far greater than you ever expected. Every challenge becomes easier to face, and every step is guided with care. With sincere devotion and openness, Her blessings can bring peace, protection, wellbeing, and abundance into every part of life. When Devi's grace touches your life, it can take you far beyond what you thought was ever possible.

Jai Bhairavi Devi Bhakta Rakshini Namah Shri 🪷🔱🔥🙏
