I waited a couple decades, this man's story is my story. Having also had authority issues, the day Sadghuru said to Lewis Howes at the end of the podcast- shut up and listen (I'm from NYC- that's how we talk) I knew I found someone I will trust. Life has been sooo good to me since inner engineering. Don't wait.

Sadhguru saved me from the world of drugs as well! Thank you master

I want to go to L.A. and do inner engineering this June!

How was it???

[@EzEzEz369]

This life is so incredibly fragile, and living it sober even more so. I've struggled with addiction my entire life. Six weeks ago I broke my foot riding my motorcycle and was given pain killers. Because my sadhana began to lack alcohol has crept back into my life. So strange the need to self-destruct; to approach dealing with past traumas with a foreign substance instead of doing the work required to move past it. I feel letting go is a magnificent skill to have, and incredibly hard to practice. Jai jai gurudev _/l\_

Yes, I hear you!

I love this story. Thank you for sharing! I'm struggling since starting this path. Everything opens up and it's AMAZING, but I feel like after meditations etc and for long periods after, I feel not fully in my body. It's been over a month since I've done any of my practices and I'm completely lost. Ive always had a place in the world of spirits and mystical things so actually physically feeling that part of me "isnt here" has disturbed me enough to not work. I've heard Sadhguru say in his videos that if you need a "place etc, he will feed you and all but you have to find something to focus on..." and my mind constantly goes to that. I want to go to Isha but I don't see how to get there. All of the information I've received since begining to seek again says I'm going to help a lot of people and a big change is coming like, right now so I know it's all in my loud mind but it's the hardest it's ever been to stop since I feel/became... detached. It almost has had me relapse into addiction to alcohol. Hopefully, this is the last day I am inundated with fear, and I find a way to get reconnected. 🙏🏼 Thanks again!

Namaskaram Anna, thank you for sharing your story. I have seen you volunteering at the ashram. In so many ways i related to your story. I have no words to describe my gratitude to Sadhguru.

Wait who is Anna?

@@dchurchwellbusiness "Anna" means big brother or brother in Tamil . I think he was referring "Anna" to Ben .

[@dchurchwellbusiness]

​@@Tilip1986 Well that makes much more sense. Anna is an English name for a woman

Your discussion was incredibly inspiring to hear. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Thank you for sharing anna, every word, on some way does connect with everyone 🙏

[@dchurchwellbusiness]

Wow, I love this so much. This couldn't have come to me at a better time. I'm heading back to the ashram in less than 2 weeks and it will also be the anniversary of my first visit to the ashram as well as the anniversary of my sobriety after 21 years of struggling with substance abuse. I've missed the ashram and everyone there so terribly...I can't wait to reconnect with all of you wonderful people

You should go to isha yoga center.

[@maketheworldabetterplace5624]

How much sadhana is enough? Wanna be careful foe that becoming a compulsion in my opinion. Your saying you have to do a b and c to get d and feel fulfilled. Although you might very well get there it will not be an easy path and I'm wishing this young man all the best as I am a recovering addict to and his story is very inspiring. Warm regards!
