New dates announced for Isha in Mexico: Mega intensives in August!

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 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.

Isha speaks: bulimia and anorexia and healing the root cuase

Here is a clip from yesterdays Darshan, where Isha speaks about the root cuase of eating disorders and how to overcome them through the expansion of consciousness.

We are now right in the middle of the mega intensive here in Uruguay. Today's Darshan was fantastic, here are some photos:


Each question asked by the students opens the opportunity for Isha to respond with brightness and humor, blinding diubt for a moment and catching fears off guard, embracing everything in love.
Thanks Isha and all of those who are here with us.

DARSHAN WITH ISHA IN INTERNATIONAL MEGA EVENT IN "LA I", COSTA AZUL, URUGUAY (EXTRACT FROM TODAY)

THIS IS ISHA'S INTRODUCTION TO TODAYS DARSHAN...

When we’re children, we perceive our parents as gods. Then we begin to see their humanity, and we start to pull them off their pedestals. We start to perceive them as people that limit us, control us, abandon us; there’s a multitude of things that we perceive as wrong with our parents. Sometimes it’s one parent, sometimes it’s both; it just depends. But gradually, they start to slip from their pedestal.
We go through stages: our parents are god, then they become awfully human and we start to blame them for all of our shortcomings, all our problems. We start doing therapy, we start to try and heal the mother within us and the father within us, and we start to create our parents outside. It’s true, isn’t it? We marry our parents, we give birth to our parents, we go to school with our parents; in fact our parents are everywhere. Because our parents represent the initial separation; the initial separation from unconditional love. That love that is so complete within itself, it wants for nothing. That love; that love. We spend our whole lives looking for that. And of course, as you’re starting to realize, the irony is, we are that love. That love is in you and we’re coming home to that love now. That’s why you’re here.
How do I come home to that love? I focus on it; I focus on the love. And then I start to express the resentment, the disillusionment, the abandonment; all of the different aspects that I judge out here, and in my head. I express them to let them go and I see them everywhere. This is a process that takes time, but it’s a very short period of time if you do this system 100%. Not just the keys; they’ll take you so far, but they’re not going to give you absolute freedom. There are other aspects of consciousness which are equally as important, and those aspects form the Isha System. Removing our masks, being vulnerable, opening ourselves to receive love. These are all things that are so difficult for humans t do, because we are always protecting ourselves, guarding ourselves; we don’t trust other people. Why not? Because we’ve been taught not to: through our life experiences we have created separation. We’ve created the vulnerability of the human experience. It’s our creation, although it doesn’t feel like it is. We feel that god is like a puppeteer, and we’re like marionettes that are dancing. But we’re not controlling the strings. We think there’s someone else controlling the strings, and we feel like victims to our circumstance, to our experience. We become victims. But none of it is true. You created everything. You created you parents, you created your dramas, you created your separation, you created your abandonment… you created everything so that you could be human.



A STUDENT ASKS...

What is being real?

Just to remove your masks, to feel your emotions, to express your judgments. This is a great environment, because here everyone is playing the same game. We all create our parents everywhere, our schoolteachers everywhere, our children everywhere! They’re everywhere. You’re going to create them coming to you, and you’re going to be able to express, and you’re going to be able to let go, and you’re all going to be playing the same game, because you’re all focused on giving to each other. Is it easy? No, it takes courage. But it takes courage to be free. To be passive, to stay the same; that’s easy, but ultimately, the masks have to go. They have to go. You have to speak the truth. You have to be real, with the desire to let go. Not to change the outside; just to let go. I express this to let go. Then the love grows. I express this to heal the separation, then the love grows. Why? Because it’s an illusion. Everything is you. Everything is me. You love some parts of yourself, and other parts you don’t love, but you will; you’ll love it all, but from your heart, not intellectually. From your heart.

Video extract from Isha's new DVD: Darshan II

On a recent trip to Puerto Madryn in the south of Argentina, the incredible scenery left us open-mouthed. But it was the presence On a recent trip to Puerto Madryn in the south of Argentina, the incredible scenery left us open-mouthed. But it was the presence of the majestic right whales that truly took our breath away.
Isha was so inspired by their power and presence that she decided to create this DVD, "Darshan II", presenting these beautiful creatures together with some of the best moments of her discourses about consciousness, accompanied with sprinkles of her heartfelt music.

Isha, enlightened wisdom for the modern world

Isha is a modern visionary, an enlightened master whose message is touching thousands of people throughout the world.

As a contemporary woman who has reached the experience of enlightenment, often confused as a state of inner freedom only available to monks and mystics, her life's work provides concrete proof that inner freedom and unconditional love of self can be achieved by all, without having to abandon the commitments and conditions of everyday life.

In her new book "Consciousness Revolution", Isha demystifies all of the theories and ideas we have about life, love, and everything, with a simplicity and clarity that leaves little room for confusion.


Isha offers no belief system; she simply shares her own experience – the experience of someone who has broken through the illusion of duality and perceives the eternal truth that
lies beyond. Her vision for a world united in unconditional love can only be achieved, as Isha says, through our own self realization:

"When I heal myself, I bring peace to the world."

Throughout the text, the reader is often shocked and surprised: Isha's perception of life is strikingly different from the fears and limitations we have become accustomed to in the modern world, and many of the things she says have never been heard before. Isha follows no doctrine or creed, and is a cosmopolitan, witty woman: her dry Australian sense of humour and matter of fact personality contrast delightfully with the profound depths of her wisdom, which resonates powerfully in the heart of the reader. At times harsh and abrupt, as she jolts the reader into wakefulness, at times as soft and loving as an innocent child, Isha sings her love for creation in the words she has woven through this book.



In Consciousness Revolution we find the absolute, unabridged truth of unified consciousness, presented by someone so down to earth, so real and direct, so honest and so grounded, that when we have finished reading, we can seriously entertain the possibility that maybe, just maybe, enlightenment isn't some far off dream.

Maybe it really is our birthright.

Maybe it's the only reason we are here at all.

This is the Consciousness Revolution.
