Wow, here they are: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL480C9CCB94DF5D82&feature=plcp. Thank God, all are free and they are not selling in fancy DVDs.

I feel the presence of a guru is just enough to fall anybody in meditative state. The trick is to feel the essence of a guru in ourselves.

That is 2 hours 40 minutes, 10% of 24 hours. This is some secret amount of time, I think, lesser number of people are able to meditate 2.40 hours in one sitting. They are mostly told 1 hour per sitting.

As water doesn’t boil below 100°C, 2.40 hours are somewhere true to get the divine qualities in life. The great spiritual people meditate, meditate very regularly; 2-3 hours of meditation is just the part of their lives. The spiritual people who are flourishing these days also have done intensive meditation regularly, and still they never leave it.

Isn’t it that 2.40 hours of time is that which we truly dedicate to ourselves? Otherwise totally lost and decay our mental, emotional and physical energy — in this and that of the world.

If anybody chooses to meditate for 2.40 hours regularly. The time from 4 am to 6. 40 am may be a good option for them.

Really nice. Thanks Sadhguru for sharing!

Once a man, a spiritual man told me the time 10.00 pm to 2.00 am is not good. I nodded and thought he was right, as he shared with me his intuitive stories and other miracles. Soon after from a well-built religious group I got to know the time 10.00 pm to 1.00 am is not good, as they used to get up at 1.30 am for preparing and doing early morning meditation. My childhood beliefs as my parents told me were that since 3.00 am the good time starts, and bad time from 11.00 pm to 2.30 am, somewhere. Recently someone told me from 12.00 am to 4.am, it is the bad time – the good time starts after 4.00 am.

If anybody believes in all of them, anybody can be confused, easily.

Isn’t it that we give power to whatever we believe in and it controls us by manifesting itself the good or bad way we want it?

One side we say that God is omnipresent but other-side we say this time is good and that time is bad – aren’t we splitting our consciousness and causing it to fall down? Other thing is: meditation is supposed to raise the vibration and energy then aren’t we more protective with that?

It is the Isha Kriya, I just tried. It’s purpose as I understood it, is to send the message at the cellular level that “I’m not the body, and I’m not the mind,” with using the sound that Sadguru tells. In-fact it is true, whatever we perceive we perceive in duality: the knower and the known — the knower is different from the known (body and mind); though we just know it intellectually but it doesn’t help, experiencing it only helps. I think this technique is all about that. My gratitude to Sadguru!

Note: this technique is free, and it may take you only 25 minutes to learn it through guided instructions.

I found this at Chopra’s website, it is list of meditation for: healing, dream, gratitude, abundance, health, creativity, love, emotion … and for third-eye, etc. Though, I haven’t tried all of them — but I think they are worth listening. All are free, as I can see now. More free stuffs are in library. My personal choice goes here, where are amazing tips about Breath, Massage, Taste and Doshas, etc.

If you ask me few of his books, well… I would recommend you to read or re-read to How to Know God and Quantum Healing. Others book are also good. Just trying to go through them.

With closed eyes it is possible to fall asleep and with fully opened eyes it is possible to get connected with the surroundings.

Another thing: the fully opened eyes are the one extreme and closed eyes the other. Both known as Yang and Yin. Yang for fully opened eyes and Yin for closed eyes.

Both Yang and Yin have their qualities just exact opposite to each other, for instance, Yang is active and Yin is passive. The half closed eyes help in balancing where both Yang and Yin are 50% and 50%, and one neither feels sleepy nor gets connected with the surrounding.

The great example of the half closed eyes is the Shiva, the Mahadeva. It is very hard to find any picture of him without the half closed eyes, as he is considered the greatest Yogi as well.

If you aren’t aware: what are Pyramids and how does Pyramid meditation help, I think you should “check this.”

update: also read, Construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

If you know Sri Vidya Sadhana, and don’t know how to gaze on Sri Yantra/Maha-Meru before starting the Sadhana, or what is a mandala. This is worth considering.

Visualization has immense power, whatever we visualize its impact comes directly on our organs and emotions. Just by visualizing we can feel “low,” and just by visualizing we can feel “high.” But, when we visualize truth then it unleashes great outcome; that’s why most of the meditations and sadhanas are just based on visualization. Below is some visualization shared by Prachi Singh, hope you like it.

“As bubbles of soapy water fly in the sky, dancing and dancing with the rhythm of nature and merge in the limitless sky. Similarly, visualize the bubbles in your breath: with every in-breath, touching inside to each pore of the body, and with every out-breath going into the sky, colorful and dancing bubbles merging in the limitless sky.” With every in-breath and out-breath, try to visualize as above and check how you feel.
