A poem for Isha

She has a jewel in her eye
And her only job
Is to keep throwing jewels
So that maybe one will land
In someone else's eye
And plant itself
For a permanent sparkle

Some days
It is just throwing pearls to swine
But today
I caught a jewel

"There is only you"
I have heard her say so many times
But today
It seeped into a crack in me
And shattered another layer of illusion

So simple but so profound
There is only me,
I get it
My world is permanently shifted
Because it is truly only my world

James Twyman reviews Isha's new book, "Why Walk When You Can Fly?"

"This is an important, even essential book. We live in a time when millions are being called to spread their wings and fly, bringing into manifestation a world that reflects our highest dreams. The only barrier is fear, and Isha's book gives practical ways to release fear's hold over our lives and cut the branch. And if you want to know what that means, you'll simply have to read this book."

Letting go of limiting beliefs

Greetings from “La I”, Uruguay! Here on this chilly Sunday morning, people are arriving to finish the seminar they started yesterday with Satya.
Here’s a little gift for you all, from Isha:

In this extract from a recent discourse, Isha speaks of the illusory security we derive from our belief systems, and how that changes through the expansion of love-consciousness.

"For all of our lives, we’ve been following a set of rules. We know how to behave, how to proceed, how to break the rules and how to conform with them. We’ve been programmed not to break the rules. We feel comfortable, we feel secure if we have a set of belief systems. If we have to find the answers for ourselves, that takes responsibility, and most people don’t want to take responsibility for their own lives. That’s why we want leaders; we want people we can follow, and then when we’re not happy, we can blame them, because we are not taking responsibility. The seed of consciousness is absolute responsibility, because consciousness shows you that you’re the creator, that you create everything in every moment, and there’s nothing to blame on the outside; your joy, your happiness, your freedom, your choices, your responsibility, and consciousness shows you that. People sometimes want to avoid that reasonability, because it’s much easier to be passive, to conform, and to blame other people.
Consciousness has the courage to stand alone, because it loves itself more than anything else, and it’s that courage that provokes change, that provokes evolution. Evolutionaries provoke change. They don’t just passively conform."

Isha's latest book to be published in USA in November

I'm delighted to announce that Isha's latest book, "Why Walk When You Can Fly?" will be published in the US in November!

From amazon.com:

In the book, Isha uses parables, moving stories, and humor to impart essential truths and help readers find happiness, fulfillment, and peace. Noted teacher Isha speaks of the Isha System, which is based on four “facets”: first is embracing the moment; second is accepting what is, without judgment; third is loving oneself and others unconditionally; and fourth is being one with the universe. Isha offers gentle, persuasive guidance, while her practical strategies show how to incorporate the Isha System into even the most hectic schedule.
