  • Angamardhana – workshop #1

    As part of my Isha journey – i not only want to explore better my inner self but also want to have a vibrant body as both body and mind work together.

    If you have not heard anything about Angamardhana – please follow this short video from Sadhguru:

    You might be tempted to find a script somewhere on the internet so that you can jump into it right away. Well… having just done #1 workshop, i can confirm it is not the best idea. Nothing, not even the best video can replace a live session with a teacher.

    Today was ca. 3h session with lots of repetitions, looking at tiny details like feet and hand alignments.

    My body was pushed to the limit, i was not able to enter some of the poses – but that is OK. I had years of pretty much sedentary life so it is not surprising it will take time to get my body back in shape.

    Tomorrow two mork workshops 🙂

  • Isha Kriya – after 10 days of practise

    From the beginning of August I do two Isha Kriya sessions a day. As soon as i wake up and as last thing before going to bed. It is just 10 days so one should not expect a lot of change. However here are the things i did notice:
    – i am calmer
    – feels like my mind and body is processing through something – i end up each session with wet eyes … tears are not running down my cheeks but my eyes are wet
    – given that i am going through a significant change in my life (losing a job after almost 20 years in the same company to which i devoted my life almost) – i am suprised that i take it so calmly … while back in July i did have some very stupid thoughts.

    If you would like to start your practise – here is your guidance video:

  • Angamardhana – workshops #2 and #3

    Posting this with a delay … some issues with the laptop 😦

    Ok … i did it … i survived in total 9 hours of Angamardhana course. That was spread over 3 workshops – each of 3 hours. Saturday – 1 workshop and Sunday – 2 workshops.

    And it was a blast! I highly recommend it to anyone. It is so different that other types of Yoga taught in some centres where you can just come in and join a session. Here your day consists of watching pre-recorded tutorials, then you do only few poses at a time. You are training your muscle memory to remember all the details of each pose. How to hold your feet, hands … and also why ….

    I must admit … my body got a shock therapy. After many years of doing nothing i was not expecting anything else other than …”it will not be nice!”. And that is OK! I know i became too lazy … finding excuses not to do things that i should have done. Now … i am commited to keep going!

    I will use this blog to post some updates as i grow further into my practise.

  • The first post …

    There can be only one first post …. What shall i write here that when i look back years from now (hopefully) it will be the one that i will feel from where ‘things’ started to take a different path …

    One would say, looking at my life from a side that i have lived a successful life. Maybe … maybe not … It is all a matter of perstpective you apply … We all have different optics. We sometimes argue about particular color … wouldn’t life path be any different ….

    For many they would consider things like great family, great job, being able to travel the world as attributes of success, or luck, or hard work.

    However att the moment of writing this i feel … empty … I am not sure why i am here. What caused that? Why do i feel like that? Can i do anything to change it?

    Sadhguru says that we are ‘products’ or our inner engineering. Many other people share very similar thoughts, just to name few: Napoleon Hill, Joe Dispenza, Tony Robbins etc etc ..

    IF that is the case then my inner engineering is broken. Over the years i have tried many things. I was obsessed with sports (training for Ironman or ultra marathon,), i was deeply engaged into the work i was doing (30-40% time on the road) and many other things. But those actions I took led only to some temporary healing … after some time i felt empty again.

    So … here i am … 46 year old male tryging to find myself. I am embarking on the Isha/Sadhguru journey. There is something in there that draws me to it. Is it the excitement of the unknown? Is it because i have some sort of affection to India?

    I do not know … but i know that i need some guidance. I do not get it from local church, i am deep in my thoughts feeling lost….

    This might be very personal … I am writing it for myself and maybe other who might get inspired to see that someone like me made a change!

    Lets go …
