Conference with Isha in Buenos Aires

On Tuesday we had a beautiful conference in Argentina. The theatre was full of a wonderfully open and sensitive public. We look forward to sharing more in the seminar this weekend!

Beautiful testimony from Sweden

In May 2009 I downloaded the movie and started using the four sentences that Isha teaches, right away. At first I thought I had to translate them into my own language Swedish, to make them truly effective - but how I tried, I could not find a formulation that felt good, was smooth and strong. So I just went along with it in english, and about two weeks later noticed that my interaction with people was changing. I was so much more relaxed, open, unfearful, there was no reservations, no critical feelings, but much more joy! And later still, I opened up to my own creativity, very naturally and found that instead of longing, dreaming, being frustrated and full of anxiety- I was actually DOING! And there was no drama in this, it was all so very easy and joyous.

I am 55 and have been "conditioning" myself since I was about 18 - and I have never experinced anything so freeing and powerful. My creativity has always eluded me, like a hidden gem, gleaming at the bottom of a well. In periods I have been there, close - but always full of doubt and fear. And now I feel I could acually pick it up, and embrace it - not watching it but beeing a part of it. Or it in me.

I am deeply thankful for this.

Isha at the Huffington Post: True Intelligence: Beyond The Intellect

True Intelligence: Beyond The Intellect A Japanese Zen master once received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. The master served tea. The Japanese tea ceremony is long and complex, and the scientist became increasingly impatient as the master went calmly through the 54 steps of the ceremony. When the tea was ready... (Read More)

Isha back on Care2: Forget Vacations and Staycations: How About a BEcation?

The vacation. The high point of the year, the oasis of freedom in a desert of routine. Vacations make the monotony of the mundane more bearable, shining a light on the horizon we can look forward to.

We imagine our perfect week of bliss. The white sand. The transparent ocean. The freedom to do nothing at all. (Read More)

Isha on Huffpost: Healing Addictions

When we think of the word addiction, we usually think of drugs or alcoholism. Many of us may think that we are not addicted to anything, yet modern society in general is full of addictive behaviors. Anything we use to distract ourselves is a form of addiction. In fact, all addictions stem from the need to get away from what we are feeling, to numb the pain, the emptiness, the disillusionment. Maybe we use the television or the internet to get away from ourselves. Maybe we open the fridge or light a cigarette whenever we feel anxious. The form the addiction takes will vary, as may the level of obsession, but that inner feeling of discontent is the root of all addictive behavior...

Testimony from Sweden

About two months ago I downloaded the movie and started using the four sentences that Isha teaches, right away. At first I thought I had to translate them into my own language Swedish, to make them truly effective - but how I tried, I could not find a formulation that felt good, was smooth and strong. So I just went along with it in english, and about two weeks later noticed that my interaction with people was changing. I was so much more relaxed, open, unfearful, there was no reservations, no critical feelings but much more joy! And later still, I opened up to my own creativity, very naturally and found that instead of longing, dreaming, beeing frustrated and full off anxiety- I was actually DOING! And there was no drama in this, it was all so very easy and joyous.

I am 55 and have been "conditioning" myself since I was about 18 - and I have never experinced anything so freeing and powerful. My creativity has always eluded me, like a hidden gem, gleeming at the bottom of a well. In periods I have been there, close - but always full of doubt and fear. And now I feel I could acually pick it up, and embrace it - not watching it but beeing a part of it. Or it in me.

I am deeply thankful for this.

COMING SOON... ISHA'S MOVIE

Back again!

Well it's been a while!

Here at the Isha Center in Uruguay, we have just finished our yearly retreat, where all of the Isha teachers come together with Isha to unify deeply all day. It is always an experience of a great leap in consciousness for us all, and it has really been an incredible time.

At the same time (how do we do this?!!) We have been finalizing the editing of Isha's new movie, based on the book, "Why Walk When You Can Fly?". We are so excited about this movie; it is truly incredible. Soon you will be able to see more... and keep a look out on youtube.com/ishasystem, where clips from the movie will be available very soon!

Isha had a lovely radio interview today, join her with Laurie Huston of Intuitive Soul here.

Isha on the illusion of separation

The only thing that causes separation in the illusion is judgment. We have the judgment that there is good and bad, right and wrong, but its not true. It’s an idea of our human experience. In reality, in order to have duality, there has to be all the different extremes, but we judge aspects. But the things we hate the most about ourselves, or we judge about ourselves, or we’re not willing to accept within ourselves, are the things that affect us the most. So normally, in the “normal” world, or in the “normal” way of thinking, we remove ourselves. We move ourselves away from that; we are not that – that has nothing to do with me. But in a world focused on unconditional love, unity and absolute love of self, you walk towards that. You express, you feel, and you let go. Then gradually, or sometimes instantly, that will just fall, and you’ll embrace it. I have a saying that I’ve said since I was very young, because I noticed that everything I judged severely, I would either became, or marry! So it’s better just to move towards it, and to heal it! Let it go.
