Sadhguru on Self-Sabotage and Shambhavi Mahamudra

Sadhguru on Self-Sabotage and Shambhavi Mahamudra

Sadhguru talks about how people often sabotage themselves when things are going well.

He explains that this happens because people create multiple characters within themselves, leading to internal conflict.

The practice of Shambhavi Mahamudra is designed to help individuals establish a strong sense of individuality, so there is only one 'you' instead of many.

Sadhguru advises committing to one year of practice, regardless of immediate benefits, to strengthen and stabilize the individual.

This will help in reducing self-sabotaging behaviors.

He emphasizes that life is about growing and evolving, not creating competition within oneself.
