Meditation is a powerful tool for spiritual growth, and
is essentially a process to take one beyond the
limitations of body and mind. Teachers and
practitioners of these “inner technologies” have also
experienced the many physical and mental benefits of
meditation and yoga. In recent years, a growing
number of scientific studies and research on
meditation have corroborated these experiences.
Isha’s introductory practice is the Shambhavi
Mahamudra, an ancient kriya that has millions of
dedicated practitioners who aver that they experience
greater emotional balance, concentration, focus,
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
stability and better health with regular practice of the
meditation. In fact, there have been several scientific
studies that measure the various benefits of practicing
the kriya regularly – both with regard to brain activity
during the kriya, as well as statistical research of how
it affects people’s health and well-being.
How does the Kriya Work?
The reason why most people are unhappy or
unhealthy is that the physical, the mental and the
“pranic” body are not in alignment.
Sadhguru says, “There is a certain way
to engineer our system, to make this
body, to make this mind… the very
chemistry within us the way we want
it.” Traditionally, yoga sees the human being as five
layers of body: the physical body, the mental body, the
pranic energy body, the etheric body and the bliss
body. The reason why most people are unhappy or
unhealthy is that the physical, the mental and the
“pranic” body are not in alignment. Sadhguru
explains, “If they are properly aligned, a natural
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
expression, an overwhelming expression of joyfulness
will naturally happen within a human being. Now, we
are looking at the technology of keeping these three
bodies constantly aligned so that joyfulness is not an
accidental happening; joyfulness becomes a normal
condition, a natural way of living for you.”
The Studies
Studies on Shambhavi Mahamudra have been varied:
some have examined its impact on disease status and
medicine usage, some have looked specifically at
menstrual disorders, while others have studied the
benefits of this meditation on sleep, heart rate
variability, brain activity, etc. Other studies have
researched general well-being and improved attention
spans among regular meditators.
Let’s take a look at the results of some of the key
studies.
Benefits of meditation #1:Improved cardiac health
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Two studies published in 2008 and 2012 examined
how Shambhavi Mahamudra supported cardiac
health. The studies showed that participants had a
more well-balanced Cardiac Autonomic Nervous
System and an overall increase in Heart Rate
Variability (HRV) during the practice. A higher HRV
has been linked to better immunity to stressful
situations, and is said to bestow a greater survival
advantage on individuals. A lower HRV on the other
hand has been linked to various heart diseases such as
coronary artery disease, hypertension, chronic heart
failure and myocardial infarction. The researchers
conclude that practitioners of the Shambhavi
Mahamudra and other Isha Yoga practices have
higher exercise tolerance, better cardiac response to
stressful situation, lower probability of undergoing
hypertension of cardiac troubles such as ischemia or
infarction.
Benefits of meditation #2:Greater coherence within thebrain
A study from the Centre for Biomedical Engineering,
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
IIT Delhi, looked at EEG (Electroencephalography)
data from practitioner’s brains before, during and after
practicing the kriya. The results show that
practitioners experienced a greater level of coherence
between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
EEG coherence is known to be a measure of how well
connected various regions of the brain are. Higher
coherence indicates greater exchange of information
between various regions, as well as improved
functional coupling and coordination. Higher levels of
coherence are also correlated to higher scores on IQ
and creativity tests, as well emotional stability and
cognitive flexibility.
The researchers also measured signals at various
prominent EEG spectral bands known as the alpha,
beta, delta and theta. Shambhavi practitioners were
seen to have higher alpha band power in general,
indicating that they experienced lower stress levels.
There was a high increase in delta band power and
theta band and a notable reduction in beta band
power. A reduction in beta band power indicates
reduced susceptibility to mental tension, excitement
and anxiety. Higher theta and delta activity have been
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
noted in previous research as indicative of conscious
access to deeper states of meditation. “Delta rhythms
combined with alpha are known to reflect an inner
intuitive empathetic radar, a kind of sixth sense” the
researchers note.
Benefits of meditation #3:Improved sleep
A study presented at the 20th Congress of the
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
European Sleep Research Society, Lisbon, Portugal
compared the sleep patterns of 15 male meditators
with a control group of 15 age and education-
matched, male non-meditators. Participants were
aged between 25 and 55 years. The meditators had
practiced Shambhavi Mahamudra as well as other
Isha Yoga practices.
Whole-night polysomnographic measures were
recorded in participants and EEG data was recorded,
along with other parameters. The results showed that
the percentage of REM sleep, sleep efficiency and total
sleep time of meditators was significantly higher as
compared to the control group of non-meditators.
Meditators also experienced better sleep quality as
evidenced by fewer awakenings after sleep onset.
The study concludes that consistent practice of the
Shambhavi meditation has a positive impact on
quality of sleep.
Benefits of meditation #4:Improved attention and focus
A study, published in the journal Perception, looked at
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
how 89 participants performed in the Stroop task and
attentional blink task before and after a 3-month Isha
Yoga meditation retreat. The Stroop task looks at
interference in the reaction time of a task. For
example, when the name of a color is printed in some
other color (for example, “red” is printed in black),
respondents can make errors in identifying the
printing color. Participants of the study were prone to
fewer errors after the retreat than before it.
Similarly, the attentional blink task involves
participants identifying various visual stimuli
presented to them within extremely short durations.
Participants showed 58% correct detection during pre-
retreat tests and 69% correct detection in post-retreat
tests. The researchers conclude that “the hypothesis
that meditation tends to improve allocation of
attentional resources.”
A similar study by a team from the Université de
Toulouse, Department of Psychiatry and Human
Behaviour, UC Irvine and the Indiana University
School of Medicine looked at how Isha Yoga practices
improve performance in attentional tasks due to better
allocation of attentional resources, an ability to sustain
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
allocation of attentional resources, an ability to sustain
attention and focus, faster re-allocation of attentional
resources, greater cognitive flexibility and a reduction
in automatic response. The study observes that these
improvements are likely due to structural, anatomical
and functional changes in meditators’ cognitive
systems as compared to control groups drawn from
the general population.
Benefits of meditation #5:Reduced menstrual disorders
75% of women are thought to experience problems
related to menstruation, which has a huge physical,
psychological, social and economic impact on their
life. The primary means of treatment for such issues
are known to offer less than satisfactory relief, even
when patients choose surgery as a last resort.
Currently, Yoga has become very popular as one of
the mainstay alternate treatments for many disorders.
The benefits of meditation and yoga in relation with
such ailments have been under study for a while and
show great promise.
A team from the Poole Hospitals NHS Trust, UK, and
the Indiana University School of Medicine, conducted
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
a questionnaire survey of 128 female practitioners of
the Shambhavi Mahamudra between the age group of
14 and 55 years, from the USA, UK, Singapore,
Malaysia and Lebanon. 72% of the respondents
practiced every day and the rest practiced 1-3 times in
a week.
The questionnaire asked respondents about the
prevalence and impact of various menstrual disorders
before they began the kriya and after they had
practiced it for at least six months. Disorders covered
included Dysmennorhea, symptoms of premenstrual
syndrome, heaviness of menstrual flow, irregularity of
menstrual cycle, the need for medical or surgical
intervention for disorders, and the impairment of work
during the menstrual period.
The results showed a 57% decrease in the impact of
Dysmennorhea, a 72% decrease in psychological
symptoms such as irritability, mood swings, crying
spells, depression and arguments, a 40% decrease in
breast swelling and tenderness, and a 50% decrease in
bloating and weight gain. There was an 87% decrease
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
in the incidence of severe menstrual flow and an 80%
decrease in the irregularity of the cycle. There was a
63% reduction in the need for medical or surgical
interventions, and an 83% reduction in the number of
instances of impairment at work.
The authors conclude that the kriya “can be
considered as an adjunct therapy for menstrual
disorders given the improved symptoms in all the
parameters.”
Other benefits of meditation
In a questionnaire asking about improvements in life
experienced from practicing the Shambhavi
Mahamudra, 536 respondents indicated how the kriya
had helped reduce medication and eliminate problems
such as depression, allergies, asthma and other
ailments. 91% reported greater inner peace, 87%
reported improved emotional balance, 80%
experienced greater mental clarity, 79% experienced
increased energy levels, 74% reported improved self
confidence and 70% reported better concentration and
higher productivity.
pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Among meditators who had been suffering depression,
87% reported improvement, 25% reduced their
medication, and 50% were able to stop their
medication. Similarly, for those suffering anxiety, 86%
reported improvement, 28% reduced their medication,
and 50% were able to stop their medication. Among
those with insomnia, 73% reported improvement, 40%
reduced their medication, and 30% were able to stop
their medication. Similar improvements were seen for
those with poor resistance to colds and flu, those who
had suffered from headaches, asthma, fibromyalgia,
gastrointestinal disorder, diabetes, hypertension, heart
disease and a range of other chronic ailments.
In brief
Taken together, all these results support a drop in
stress and anxiety, a boost in mental alertness and
focus, and an increase in self-awareness due to
practicing the Shambhavi Mahamudra. It is also clear
that regular practice benefits cardiac health and either
leads to a stop in the use of medication or at least
reduces it considerably for a range of ailments
including hypertension, depression and menstrual

What is this indescribable feeling?
Am feeling full with no wants
a knowing that am not alone
a presence at times so strong, I just turn to see if He is around.
what have I done to get this blessing?
Yes, my life was in shambles
One crazy roller coaster ride with the ropes given in to my madness
Ever since his presence came like a blessing from above
I am even thankful to the sufferings I bore
Cause only in pain, did I lift my hand and reach out to him.
He was always there waiting for me.
Life is still a roller coaster ride, but the control strongly in me
To enjoy this ride and to get off it

This is true. Practising Shambhavi not only cures menstrual disorders, skin problems and other ailments, my wholefamily now sees a dramatic change in our health. For the last two years we don't really get sick with flu or commoncold when there is a 'season change'every 2-3 months.

They both are different. Isha kriya is offered as a free meditation technic. You will find it in the website.
To learn Shambhavi, you must be initiated into it by Sadhguru. There is also Inner Engineering online andinitiation will be done in a live class conducted by Sadhguru

Namaskaram Murali,
Great to know that your experience of life has changed after practicing Shambhavi Mahamudra. However wemay not really know how shambhavi maha mudra functions and to my understanding only Sadhguru know it.
Also this cannot be taught and only poured into you as sadhguru mentions. So I request you not to sharesuch a steps or instructions to anyone. Because the practice is quite powerful which would cause badindigestion to the people to who try to attempt it without proper initiation.
Thanks for your understanding! 9△ ▽

Hi All,
The tumultuous experience was a part of my journey that drove me to realize new forms of learning. I formulated mythoughts and ideas with grace and conviction. The search for my truth revealed an inner invulnerable strength ofspirit which was at first, incomprehensible even to myself. From where was my courage to stand against theoppression coming from? Realizing the inner being is neither an easy, nor a light hearted exercise, although it doeshave its lighter moments, as one realizes that we give tyrants more credit than they deserve in oppressing us! Weallow ourselves to be oppressed as we are passive in our acceptance of their ill-deserved authority. If we lose oursense of the inner being, we are likely to succumb to a tyrant’s will.
Autonomy of ones’ spiritual inner self is imperative to realize true freedom. New meditations on ones inner being isthe way to inner peace, I realized in the depths of my loneliness during my tribulations. Under house arrest anddetention, I gave pause to redouble my efforts at realizing my inner being. This learning experience taught much tomy untrained inner being as I endeavored to re-learn and reevaluated the purpose of my life to discover the true selfas I spoke without fear and with strong conviction and belief in defense of freedom. I was heartened and enamoredby with the discovery that others’ were equally strong in their convictions and open to my idea of freedom as we learnto speak with a new voice that is both strong as well as tolerant of others; that is humble, yet knowing of others’weaknesses. Detachment from the ignorance of others allows us to delve deeply into our inner capacity to defineand experience our inner blissful state in self-realization. Renewal of spirit comes alive in our search as we discover

Hi Uthya, I had the same problem. Did the Inner engineering course and practiced it regularly for 6 months. Iused to drive from Bangalore to Mangalore, The tiredness used to vanish when I did the Kriya in theevening. Had amazing experience, but stopped with due to trouble at house for almost 4 years. Deepdown my heart I always believed I would start it again and Shambhavi initiation was gift given bySadguru. With my devine Guru's blessing, I started the Kriya again last October. And was surprised tosee I did not miss any steps. I did speak to my friend in Bangalore who did advanced courses of Ishafor guidance. Just speak to someone you know who is practicing, clear your doubts and just start it. Ialways feel Sadguru's presence while doing the Kriya and I am sure you too would feel the same.Good wishes from me Uthya :)
