This post is very special to me as I’ll be sharing about one of the most invigorating Isha yoga practices which not only heightens the experience of all my spiritual Sadhana but is also totally grounding and brings me down to earth in a beautiful way.

I learnt the elemental cleanse practice of Bhuta Shuddhi in 2017 and ever since it’s been a part of my everyday routine. I feel the day unfolds completely differently with this short practice and it has become a most valued tool for well being in my life. 

It’s hard for a thinking mind to understand how a 10 min practice is making me so deeply meditative and bringing this enormous sense of clarity and grounding in everyday life. We as Isha Hatha Yoga teachers are very privileged to not only be teaching the Bhuta Shuddhi practice to our students but also get the honour of being a part of initiating them into this transformative elemental cleanse. 

Bhuta Shuddhi cleanses the 5 elements of earth, water, fire, air and space and brings you to the basis of who you are. These elements are the fundamental ingredients of our existence without which we would not be here.

This practice is very subtle in nature and one almost does not realise what it does for you on a daily basis. But along the path as you begin to drop so many of the unnecessary things you’ve been carrying the impact of the practice becomes unmissable.In other words it gets easier to walk through life without having to carry whatever burdens that we unconsciously and habitually bring with us everywhere we go.

So Bhuta Shuddhi is that big weight lifter for me where I drop a little bit more everyday, and in the end hope to fly being fully and unconditionally weightless.. 

Thank you Sadhguru for it all, words cease to exist for me to describe what you have given me … my being is your giving..

The Bhuta Shuddhi practice is a powerful elemental cleanse and a powerful process that can enable a person to experience meditation.
