The One Thing – Shambhavi Kriya by Sadhguru

If you want to get started on the spiritual path, the One thing I would recommend is Shambhavi Kriya by Shadhguru.

Idea is start somewhere. There are a lot of meditation technics. Different gurus have their own styles and tips to start on the path to enlightenment.

Even though I had many starts, I feel I really am more disciplined and progressing with Shambhavi kriya by Shadhguru.

I don’t question it anymore. I did in the beginning. I was taught some very simple technics and I started doing it blindly, right from the day one. Something made me gravitate towards the kriya. So it kind of just sucked me in. I would do it one day, feel peaceful and come back the next day to get some more peace. So continued day after day. True, I had questions but since end result was good, I started and continued. Again, had to start somewhere. I feel I got lucky to have found this program.

It gives us step by step process, from warm up, meditation, to cool down.

Program tells us when to do this and what precautions to take.

Another beautiful thing which the program instilled in me was the discipline. So it got me started with, prep work, actual kriya and discipline to make sure I continue. Of course no one can force you, but they show you the way and then its to us.

It comes from a Credible Source – Coming from Sadhguru is good enough factor to give it a chance (wholehearted chance – otherwise it will not work).

So just like any meditation technic, it gives you so much peace and it gets easier to deal with things around. I am moving to the next level or not, I dont know. Definitely I am on my spiritual journey. I do feel like I make a new discovery about myself every day.

I would highly recommend this to all my fellow people who are like me. Who dont know where to begin, what is going on, plus still are in search of the better world.

Why I recommend Shambhavi kriya or I should say the whole Inner Engineering program from Sadhguru is, it not just gives you the Shambhavi Kriya but also gives you the do’s and don’ts and lay out a plan for you, so you know exactly what upa yoga asanas to do before that to prep for the shambhavi kriya also.

The other day I was just researching for some answers and came across Tatadmananda’s video how he went thru Kundalini yoga. He explained the process very well, even though he is more into “advaita vedanta” using process of “self inquiry” i think. Please pardon me if I am not very accurate or misunderstood things…… I am saying as i remember …..

I noticed Sadhguru already incorporated bhastrika for the mooladhar chakra awakening in the upa yoga technics which we do before starting the shambhavi kriya practice. When we do the butterfly exercise, we are supposed to do bhastrika kind of breathing. When we do the shishupal asana, we again do the bhastrika breathing technic. Focus staying on the bottom of the spine. So looks like these few asanas we do before the shambhavi kriya prep us and try to awaken our kundalini in the mooladhar chakra.

I do research more on kundalini and other terms but my practice for shambhavi continues like a sacred prayer every day.

Guys I feel personally, after whatever I have been thru so far, that if we do this one thing Inner Engineering Program from sadhguru which is “Shambhavi Kriya” – that is enough for us to get started.

I am doing it regularly and it helps in amazing ways.

I get more clarity issues or points I am stuck on. Feel more confident about the decisions I make. I feel more equipped in dealing with people around me. My mind is more at peace than ever before. Just life feels better.

Downside is, if I skip or miss shambhavi for more than 2 days in a row, I am in a mess. My mind gets more clogged than ever. It takes me a while to realize that it could be because I did not do my shambhavi for the day. Another problem i noticed is, you would go back a few steps in your progress. What i mean here is, every day when you do shambhavi, you will be progressing and feeling you are attaining some higher stat or discovering something new. So if you dont do shambhavi for a few days, you kind of go back to the beginning and struggle with the original base problems like too many thoughts, not able to focus etc.

So short story is, I would say there are so many different practices available around. I feel Sadhguru has taken into consideration all different aspects of life and people, and what is required to awaken our kundalini.

Don’t waste a single more minute and just join this program. This one program is enough I feel, to get started on the path of enlightenment. Its safe to say its the first step.

Once you start with this, your inner self will guide you what to do next. Idea is to practice it consistently and properly. You are on the path then.

There might be other ways, but this definitely works.

I am at this stage so I can speak about it.

Please do let me know if you have any questions about this.

I have been doing it for years now, and i feel like i am finally getting started….. can’t say beyond that. But i am proud to say I got started.

Hope to see you all get started too!

Don’t hesitate to ask me anything about this. I will try my best to answer your question.
