Did you know that over 5.8 million people in the United States are currently suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia? This is projected to double in the next 20 years (per a Milken Institute report). If you know someone who’s living with this disease, you know the kind of struggle that this can cause to not only the person suffering from it but also their caregivers.

Sadhguru, a realized yogi and one of the foremost authorities on yoga, goes into the root cause of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, explaining how one’s life energy can deplete before its time and how this can be avoided and mitigated through yoga.

Sadhguru: In yoga, we look at life as two ingredients – time and energy. Our whole striving in life is we want our time to be over before our energy is over. But you will see a whole lot of people where their life energy is over, but their time is not over – which is not good. You call this by various names – Alzheimer’s, dementia – but essentially in life terms, your energy depleted before your time ran out.

Yoga Helps Manage Energy

Time is running at the same pace for everyone. But you can manage your energy. The whole system of yoga is to raise your energy so that your ability to be conscious is high and your energy is high. When your energy is high, time just rolls, and your time will run out before your energy. How long you live is up to you and so many other factors, but it is very important that a human being maintains the fundamental aspects of his life consciously. That is what sets us apart from other forms of life on this planet.

In terms of life, the spine is such an active place that you can very easily rejuvenate and regenerate the cells that have been lost there. It is also very easy to do that in your brain. If people who are suffering from dementia and the like, do the right kind of things, they could regenerate that. There is substantial scientific evidence for this. Even in your life right now, how many neurons are active or present varies in a big way, depending on how you are using your mind. When you are a little down or intoxicated or depressed, the number may be much less. By doing the right kind of things, you can enhance this. Definitely, this would be a boon for every human being, it does not matter who he or she is. The world could do with a little more intelligence.

Henry Markram has done a phenomenal amount of research on the brain in the Blue Brain Project. This is the first time that the human brain has been fully mapped. That is, they are creating a virtual, electronic brain. They will have a simulated human brain with a keyboard attached. Right now your problem is that you have a brain, but you do not have the keyboard –something works, something does not work. If you could have a full-fledged keyboard to your brain, if you could type out whatever you want, you would become a thousand times more capable than what you are, because this brain is capable of such complexity of action.

This brain is such a complex machinery, most people have never been trained in how to use it. It would take a certain level of dedication and focus to learn to use it. I think most people are only using a fraction of the capabilities of their computer. There are so many ways to use that machine, but not everybody knows how. The same is true with the brain. Everyone’s brain is capable of many things, but this is not at your fingertips – that is the problem.

Bliss Beyond Intoxication

People commonly use alcohol or other drugs recreationally to relax, handle stress, unwind, or lighten up to cope with the pressures of life. Some just want to feel a little better and forget about their daily challenges. Sadhguru, a realized yogi and one of the foremost authorities on yoga, emphasizes that there is another way to change the body’s internal chemistry into blissfulness without the use of drugs.

Watch Video: Bliss Beyond Intoxication

Sadhguru: “In New York City, they say that seventy percent of the population drinks regularly, and another twenty percent binge drink. Though this is the state of the people who live in New York, everybody wants to go there.

Why an individual, or a society, or a nation seeks affluence is because, at the first stage, it means a choice of nourishment. At the second stage, affluence means a choice of lifestyle. In an affluent nation like the US, which has achieved an enormous choice of nourishment and lifestyle, seventy percent of the population is on prescription medication. Another thirty percent buys it off the backstreets, of course. America has a healthcare bill of over three trillion dollars for three hundred million people.

When there is such a choice of nourishment and lifestyle, health should be a natural outcome. If it is not happening that way, we need to look at this. Because this is not just about America; everybody will get there. America has become the aspiration, so everybody is rapidly working to get to that place and get sick!

For example in India, forty to fifty years ago, when people were looking to get their daughters married, they would say, “Oh, in that house they drink alcohol. We will not marry our girls into that family.” But today, if you do not serve drinks, nobody will come for your wedding! This is the change that has happened in fifty years all across the world.

Essentially, we are reaching a place where to be healthy we need chemicals, to be peaceful we need chemicals, to be joyful we need chemicals, and to be ecstatic they have “Ecstasy!”

Creating an Inner Experience

Why are people going towards using some kind of chemical to create an inner experience? Whether it is marijuana, ayahuasca, wine, whiskey, cocaine, LSD or whatever, it breaks down resistance and makes you feel free for some time. Let us say somebody is doing meth; he is having such fantastic experiences that he cannot leave it. Because people are so constipated in their heads, it takes a chemical to loosen them up a little bit. What you need to understand is, it is coming at the cost of lowering your faculties. Do you believe you can heighten your life by lowering your faculties?

The chemical may give you a sense of expansion within yourself, but it is a false sense of expansion. If you are thinking in terms of, “Well, it gave me a possibility that I saw I can expand,” it may serve that purpose. But once you start doing it, you start lowering your faculties over a period of time. After some time the drug will be left.

If something works, it should work every day. Do ayahuasca every day and see what happens. At that moment it might have broken down your limitations and your resistance, and you might have felt something, you may have accessed something. But will that make it happen for you all the time? No. Only if you pop a pill you feel like this, once it is not there, nothing. You will become a one-trick pony.

The problem is not just that a chemical damages the body and may kill you; the real problem is that it gives you a false sense of freedom – all it is giving you is compulsiveness, addiction. If you just climbed a mountain peak and stood there, for one moment suddenly something fantastic may happen, but it will not last. Whether it is a mountain or medicine, it will not last. The question is not about how big your experience is; the question is the transformation it leaves. Please observe the people who have gone through such chemical use – are they really transformed? Does it enhance perception in such a way that you have access to all aspects of life? No. Generally, they only have a big experience to go on bragging about to everybody.

If there was no pleasantness in drug or drink, people would not have gone that way. But the pleasantness attached to it is such that in spite of the warning on the wrapper that “Cigarette smoking is injurious to health,” still people are smoking whatever the consequence may be.

This body is the most sophisticated and complex chemical factory on the planet. When somebody gives you such a complex machinery, would you not manufacture what you want? Right now you are busy manufacturing unpleasantness because you do not know how to manage this human system. If you manage this well, you will produce that kind of pleasantness within you that you would not want to touch anything else. Because just being alive is such a fantastic thing. Unfortunately, we did not teach people any other way to know pleasantness, so they are taking to chemicals.

Forcefully trying to get people out of that pleasantness has not worked. You must offer them a pleasantness which is beyond that. Human consciousness is beyond all these things. The most empowered thing in the universe is consciousness. You are trying to believe that a leaf, a fruit, a chemical, or a drink could be better than that. If you could simply sit here and be absolutely blissed out, you would not smoke, drink or pop anything, because there is more chemistry within the system than you can get from any of these.

If you become conscious of how the human system functions, naturally you will create the highest level of pleasantness for yourself. The question is only: have you explored this possibility?

With this movement of trying to create an inner experience with external help – I think if we don’t do anything significant in the next fifteen to thirty years’ time, ninety percent of people will be on chemicals. If all of us go on chemicals to create experiences for ourselves, then the next generation that we produce will be less than us. This is a crime against humanity. The next generation should always be one step ahead of us.

Also, looking at the way the human mind is, if this chemical usage goes out of control, you should not be surprised at all if in another sixty to seventy-five years’ time, a huge percentage of the population starts committing suicide. Because a human being doesn’t need just pleasure; he needs a purpose. One thing that happens to you with chemical usage is you have pleasure, but you lose a sense of purpose. When this happens, you will see the suicide rate in the world will increase enormously.

We should not let that happen. For this, the only solution is that we create a conscious human being. Raising human consciousness is most important.”

The post Is Getting High A Spiritual Process? appeared first on LA Yoga Magazine - Ayurveda & Health.

The Miracles of Bhuta Shuddhi

When we look at what determines health and well-being, we may think in terms of our diet or weight, the amount of exercise we engage in, or the results of our medical tests. We may control our diet, exercise, or take medications to manage our health but health can also be addressed more fundamentally. Every human being is comprised of the five elements and cleansing these elements can play a tremendous role in our well-being. Sadhguru, a realized yogi and one of the foremost authorities on yoga, looks at how the process of Bhuta Shuddhi can transform a human being in miraculous ways, by imprinting the right kind of information on each of the elements.

Bhuta Shuddhi – The Ultimate Cleansing

The Fundamental Practice

Sadhguru: “Every yogic practice, whatever kind it may be, is essentially drawn from the process of bhuta shuddhi. If you do an asana, surya namaskar, surya kriya, pranayama or a kriya, in a way, you are doing bhuta shuddhi. In other words, you address life in its most fundamental form, which are the five elements. You can address life just as body. You can address life as prana or life energy. Or you can address life on the cellular level. You can even address life on the atomic level. You can address life on the elemental level, which is most fundamental. Yoga is an attempt towards that.

Life and the Five Elements

It is these five elements that make up this body, this planet, this solar system, and the universe. Each of these five elements has its own individual nature, and all of them are capable of absorbing and retaining information. The whole system of bhuta shuddhi has evolved from the knowledge that the five elements can take in and hold information. If information is properly put into anything, it also creates an intention. Depending upon what kind of information you hold about something, you naturally develop a certain intention towards that something. Once you have an intention, you start moving in that direction.

It is this basis that gives bhuta shuddhi its effectiveness and its ability to transform a human being in miraculous ways. The process that we do at Isha now is a simple form of bhuta shuddhi. The intention behind bhuta shuddhi is that slowly, over a period of time, the elements within you should take instructions from you. Once you have the ability to make the elements within yourself function the way you want them to, it is not far away to impact the elements around you.

The idea of practicing bhuta shuddhi is to rearrange the way the elements function within you. You want to change the intention with which they function within you. If the elements within you function in the same way as they function in the earth or a tree, it is not useful to you. In the human system, the elements function in a particular way. We want them to function that way and to transform themselves into higher and higher possibilities.”

With the  International Day of Peace fast approaching, which is a United Nations-sanctioned holiday celebrated annually on 21 September, let’s take a deeper dive into what peace means to you and how you can become peaceful. Sadhguru, yogi, mystic, visionary, and the foremost authority on yoga, offers insight into why peace of mind is the A of life, not the Z of life, and explains the true meaning of being peaceful.

Your Peace is in Your Control

True Peace of Mind

Sadhguru: What is peace? People say that sitting on the mountain and meditating is peace. Somebody else may drink alcohol and become very peaceful and so on. Whenever your ego is satisfied, you are very peaceful. Wherever you go, in that place, if people are willing to support and boost your ego, in that place you are very peaceful. Only in those places where your ego takes a thrashing, that is where you are not peaceful, isn’t it?

If you have to go and sit on a mountain to be peaceful, that peace is not yours, maybe it is the mountain. When you come down you will have the same problems again. Any fool can be peaceful on the mountain because you are there only for three days. If you live there for three years, you will have problems there too. Vacations are generally very short – which is a good thing. If you stay there a little longer, you will realize even that does not work. Because it is very brief, before you can create new problems you are back in your old problems. So people shouldn’t complain about the shortness of their vacation.

Generally in the world, when people talk about peace of mind, it is only about somehow making their ego comfortable. Instead of being in a disturbed state, they wish to be comfortable. But the very process of trying to make your ego comfortable is the whole process of discomfort also. The more a person tries to be peaceful, he only loses his peace and goes off track. A person who is trying to be peaceful will never actually be peaceful. Just the reverse of this process will happen.

Generally, the peace that you achieve is only about making yourself comfortable. When you look at the mountains, you are peaceful. Suddenly an elephant rushes out of the forest straight towards you — all your peace disappears. This peace is of no great significance. It is better to be disturbed because if you are disturbed, at least you will search. If you become peaceful you only become complacent. Complacence is the greatest enemy. Disturbance is not your enemy. Your complacence is the greatest enemy and this kind of peace will create only complacence.

Peace can also come out of achievement. When you have achieved something you feel very satisfied. You feel like you are complete, a whole being. This lasts just for a moment. This feeling of wholeness is not really wholeness. When your wishes are fulfilled, when your ambitions are fulfilled, or when everything is right for you, when the situation around you is comfortable for your ego and your body, these are the times when you feel peaceful generally. But this peace is not peace. Peace means nothingness.

Peace is Something that Always Is

Peace is not something that you create; peace is not something that happens. Peace is something that always is. What happens on the surface is disturbance. This is just like the ocean. On the surface of the ocean you will see waves, tremendous turbulence and turmoil going on. But if you go deep down, it is perfectly peaceful. The fundamental quality of existence is always peace.

Right now, most human beings think that having peace of mind is the highest goal in their life. Such people will only rest in peace. Even your dog sits peacefully if you give him enough food. Maybe he is not blissed out but at least he is peaceful. That state is considered as the highest by most human beings on this planet – including the so-called spiritual people. They say peace is the highest goal. Peace is not the highest goal. If you want to enjoy your dinner today, you must be peaceful. If you want to enjoy your family, your work, or your walk in the park, you have to be peaceful. Peace is the A of life, not the Z of life. It is the most fundamental thing. If you don’t have anything else, at least you must be peaceful.

Peacefulness is being projected as the highest thing because when someone has a disturbed mind, peace will be the highest goal in their perspective. Whatever you are deprived of, that becomes the highest thing in your life.

To be peaceful is definitely not the ultimate goal because only if you are peaceful and joyful will your body and mind work at their best – and that is the basic parameter for your success and efficiency in the world. Your efficiency and your productivity is not dependent on your desire to do something, it is dependent on your capability. Your capability is impaired when you are in some state of unhappiness, frustration, or depression.

So, if you are interested in productivity, the first and foremost thing is to create a pleasant basis for yourself, that to be peaceful and joyful is not an issue for you. It does not depend on anything – this is how you are. Now, your body and mind will work at their best, and you can effortlessly create what you want to create.

In other words, the key to optimal well-being may be to sit with anxious sensations and actually feel them. From there, the question then becomes: Why am I stressed out in the first place? According to Sadhguru, founder of the Isha Foundation and one of the world’s leading authorities on yoga and meditation, it isn’t life’s situations that cause our stress; it’s our inability to cope with them.

Watch Video: How to Manage Stress?

React Differently to Stress through Inner Engineering

When things are not working out the way we want them to, we often react with resistance, which causes feelings of stress—but what if we reacted differently? That’s exactly what Inner Engineering nudges us to do; to go inward to find peace and transcendence.

The inner landscape is a rich one indeed, and the good news is that navigating this sacred terrain doesn’t have to be complicated. The Isha Foundation’s world-renowned Inner Engineering program gently guides participants in the wonders of meditation. At its core, it provides the solutions and tools necessary to create the life you want; the life each one of us deserves. What Inner Engineering is really about is distilling the ancient yoga sciences into digestible, practical tools for managing our emotions, mind, body, and overall life energy.

To put it simply, the focus is on nurturing yourself—instead of pouring all your attention and energy into changing external situations so that they meet your expectations. So instead of engineering the world from the outside, Inner Engineering invites us within.

The Isha Foundation, which is a non-profit organization, offers a variety of courses that teach us how to do just that, empowering participants with tools for tapping into the magic of present-moment awareness. The overarching idea behind Inner Engineering is that nourishing the self has the power to ignite a spark in collective consciousness. What’s more, those who take part in these programs are also provided with valuable take-home activities so that these benefits can continue long after the course ends. This way, those tools for well-being will always be right at their fingertips.

Inner Engineering as a Practice for a Joyful Life

Perhaps the most notable tidbit, especially for perpetually time-starved Westerners, is that Inner Engineering only requires 21 minutes per day. It’s also not a religious practice; it is completely independent of any doctrine, dogma or philosophy. On the contrary, it is a deeply human, built-in technology for embracing our own natural abilities and coping skills.

What is Happiness? Hear from a Yogi, Sadhguru

What is Happiness?

“When do you really feel well in your life? When you’re really happy, you’re well. Even if you’re physically ill you’re still well. Isn’t it? Fundamentally, well-being means a certain level of joyfulness, a certain exuberance of life. What is happiness? We can say happiness is this or that, but in terms of life, your life energies are happening in a more exuberant way than it normally happens. Depression means your life energies have become in a very low state. Happiness means your life energies are exuberant.

“Everybody has been happy, but the problem is they’re not able to maintain it. All this effort of life, everything that you did—education, career, business, family, whatever you did—was in pursuit of happiness. Everything that humanity has done on this planet is in pursuit of happiness.”
