I was very blessed in January this year 2024 to sit in the presence of Sadhguru when he came to Australia. Sitting in Sadhguru’s presence is an experience I will never forget.
If you were not aware there is an initiation process in which one must take to prepare the body and mind before you are accepted to attend one of his experientials.
Having listened to many of his teachings over the years I was still surprised at my body’s emotional reaction when he entered the room. Even before I could see him I could feel his energy. A wave of joy and bliss flowed over me, just like a wave in the ocean.
That energy then flowed through me and as my eyes connected with his physical form, tears of joy began running down my face. I was crying with ecstasy, every cell of my body was experiencing joy. This is not something I have ever experienced before.
On one level it felt quite foreign. And it wasn’t just me, the other 8000 people in the room were having the same experience. It was completely surreal.
The process of the day followed the preparation work that was completed before attendance. Preparatory yoga and breathing as we went into the Kriya. All 8000 people, it would have been a sight if I had a birds eye view.
Sadhguru passed on much wisdom throughout the day, much of which I had heard or heard variations of from him in the past, but what was most important was the meditations he guided us through. The first was a process of releasing all that no longer serves you. 8000 people all releasing low vibrational energy all at once.
It was intense and very loud. The energy that was released was instantly sucked out of the room and transmuted to light. I could see it passing through a portal in the ceiling, it was huge. This was an eye opener for me.
It certainly showed me how quickly change could happen on a large scale if you had the right energy access. I always felt this could be done but now I witnessed it with my own eyes.
The second main meditation he delivered was a third eye exercise to open, expand and awaken. Apart from my live incarnation of Saraswati, this was one of the most intense energy experiences I have been through, and I have been through a lot.
My third eye was affected but my entire body and field was uplifted to a whole new level of being able to accept and experience the energy of bliss and ecstasy.
During the process, all I knew to be present in the room was Sadhguru and myself, in my mind’s eye I could see him standing directly in front of me, our eyes locked, we did not speak but I could feel the energy transfer from third eye to third eye. There was intense pressure building in my body as huge amounts of vibrant white light filled me and flowed through me.
It was encouraging to learn the processes and meditations of Sadhguru, many of which followed the same flow and practice in which I teach and practice myself already.
Throughout the day Sadhguru spoke about individuals becoming responsible for themselves and in turn becoming responsible for their impact on the world around them. One person can make a change, he is living proof of that.
He also spoke greatly about acceptance and accepting self, situation and those around you for what they are. These are words that I have heard many times before and that I have even said myself.
What was interesting though was as he finished delivering his content and the opportunity came for individuals to get closer to Sadhguru, how quickly these words were forgotten by the crowd. The room of 8000 people went from calm and bliss to frantic excitement and fanaticism.
People rushed to the boardwalk in which Sadhguru was standing to touch and grab at his clothing, or to be touched by his hand as he waved it around.
The energy shift was dramatic and at one point I felt quite fearful as a swarming crowd of people swept me towards the stage and I had an overwhelming feeling that I was going to be crushed.
I managed to escape only to find that my belongings that were on the ground where I had been sitting were trampled all over the place and as I tried to find and pick them up people were still walking all over them. My blissful, ecstasy filled day did not end that way.
I was saddened to see and feel the energy shift as people very quickly lost control of themselves. Pack mentality was running the show and everyone had to be at the front and their only focus was on themselves and what they wanted. It showed me how much work still needs to be done in raising human consciousness.
Everything happens for a reason and I got to experience two worlds. The one of pure bliss and light and connectedness to myself and all that is and the other world of lower human consciousness.
The contrast was vast and that is exactly why I had to experience it, so I could see and feel the depth of the work required to shift the collective level of human consciousness. This is why I do the work that I do, every bit makes a difference.
Sitting in gratitude for my experience and the presence of Sadhguru.
