Isha Inner Engineering  - Technology for Wellbeing

Inner Engineering is neither a religion, nor a philosophy or dogma. It is a technology for wellbeing. One does not have to believe or disbelieve, just have to learn to use. Technology will produce results irrespective of who you are.”

-Sadhguru

Inner Engineering for Better Living

For centuries, the ancient science of yoga has been used to cultivate physical and mental health. Practitioners of this potent discipline testify to its enormous benefits. Modern medicine has acknowledged the impact that regular practice of yoga can have on overall health and wellbeing.

While yoga has become synonymous with physical postures and exercise, it is not limited to that alone. Yoga means that which takes you to a higher dimension or higher perception of life. Yoga is a holistic approach that encompasses overall human wellbeing; body, mind, emotions and energy.

Inner Engineering offers a comprehensive process to align your body, mind, emotions and energy. The course includes a daily practice called Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya, also known as Shambhavi Kriya. Shambhavi Kriya is a simple, but transformative practice which brings about immense physical and psychological benefits, and much more.

“Offering yoga as a science of transformation, as a science towards one’s liberation is the basic objective of Isha.”

As there is a science and technology to create external wellbeing, there is a whole dimension of science and technology for inner wellbeing.”

“If you learn to create the right climate in your body, mind, and emotion, your health, wellbeing, and joy – everything will be taken care of.”

-Sadhguru

Inner Engineering is a synthesis of several tools tailored for each individual and transmitted as a live subjective method. It promotes beneficial changes in one’s inner chemistry to accelerate the release of physical, mental and emotional blocks. The program includes an initiation into the ancient Shambhavi Mahamudra, a powerful kriya (inner energy process).

These technologies for wellbeing are presented in a modern-day format to suit the needs of every individual in various spheres of life. Inner Engineering and its vernacular language counterpart Isha Yoga are available as 7-day programs, as a 4-day Retreat program at the Isha Yoga Center, and as two-and-a-half-day mega programs attended by over 10,000 people. Inner Engineering has proven invaluable to people from all walks of life around the world, including corporate and government leaders, housewives, teenagers, rural villagers and prison inmates.

How the Body Works

The whole system of yoga is based on the spine. Many of our vital functions are regulated by the spine through the autonomic nervous system. There are two components of this system: the sympathetic nervous system (survival response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (restful response). These systems function in a complementary manner – when one is on, the other is off. When the mind perceives a threat, the body reacts by releasing hormones which speed up the heart rate, slow down digestion, increase the breathing rate and muscle contraction preparing the body to fight or flee from danger. However in modern times, this response can even be triggered by traffic, conflicts with others, or any stressful situations. On a regular basis, stress hormones flow into our bodies for events that pose no real threat to our physical survival causing damage to the body over time.

When practiced regularly, this 21-minute kriya can bring the following benefits into one’s life:

Done in a simple seated asana, or posture, Shambhavi Kriya gives you access to your deepest life energies and makes them vibrantly alive. It does not require any physical fitness and is easy to integrate into any lifestyle.

Seeking relief?

Inner Engineering Improves Wellbeing for Vast Majority of Practitioners.

A survey of Shambhavi Kriya practitioners found that doing these practices for a minimum of one year had significant mental and emotional benefits.

Shambhavi Kriya alleviates chronic ailments.

Many common chronic ailments such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and digestive disorders can be linked to an overactive ‘survival’ response. Being restful alleviates chronic ailments and improves your immune system and healing. It also improves mental health by reducing anxiety, stress and depression, allowing you to be happier.

Relaxed Brainwave Patterns 

This relaxation can also be seen in the brain. A study (Santhosh et al) observed the brain waves for those practicing Shambhavi Kriya and demonstrated the following:

• Greater coherence between the left and right sides of the brain
• Increased alpha waves

An increase in alpha waves and a decrease of beta waves demonstrates that those practicing Shambhavi Kriya are generally more relaxed. Furthermore, the increase in theta and delta waves immediately after Shambhavi Kriya demonstrates the practice’s capacity to bring you into a very deep and restful state. Shambhavi Kriya gives you the type of rest, relaxation, and regeneration that is normally seen in the deepest stages of sleep.

Shambhavi Kriya Gives Practitioners Better Sleep

A study (Vinchurkar et al) was conducted comparing sleep quality for those practicing Shambhavi Kriya vs. those who do not practice.

Shambhavi Kriya can dramatically improve sleep quality
The average adult’s sleep consists of 20% REM sleep whereas the average infant’s sleep consists of 50% REM sleep. With regular practice, it is possible for one to “sleep like a baby.”

Shambhavi Kriya Reduces Menstrual Disorders

A study (Needhirajan et al) was conducted to measure the impact of Shambhavi Kriya on menstrual disorders. Regular practice of Shambhavi Kriya significantly reduced the symptoms for a variety of menstrual disorders.

Studies have proven that those practicing the Shambhavi Kriya found a decrease in irregular cycles and the need for medical intervention. They also experienced less interference in work performance caused by menstrual disorders.
