Why I Chose Inner Engineering by Sadhguru

I’ll be honest—when I first heard about the Inner Engineering program by Sadhguru, I wasn’t entirely sold. It felt like one of those things people rave about for a while, and then it fades out. You know, like those fitness challenges that trend every January and vanish by March. But the more I looked into it, the more curious I became. It wasn’t just about yoga or meditation. It was about rethinking how you look at life, yourself, and the world around you. That idea hit home.

If you’re on the fence, just like I was, let me share my experience. I had to decide whether or not to take the plunge. This isn’t a “you must do it” pitch. It’s more like a conversation with a friend who’s been in your shoes.

Why Inner Engineering Caught My Attention

Like most millennials, my daily life was a mix of work stress, screen time, and endless to-do lists. Sure, there were moments of joy, but deep down, I felt like something was missing. It wasn’t happiness exactly, but a sense of balance.

I stumbled upon a video of Sadhguru on YouTube one late night (as usual, I was doom-scrolling before bed). What caught my attention wasn’t the spiritual jargon—it was the way he explained life with logic and humor. One particular line stayed in my mind: "If your body and mind take instructions from you, being joyful is not even a challenge."

I thought, "That’s interesting, but how do I get there?"

The Dilemma: Should I Sign Up?

Signing up for the program wasn’t an easy decision. I mean, it's not just about the money; it’s also about the time commitment. A few questions kept running in my head:

1. Is this legit or just another marketing gimmick?
2. Will this actually help me, or is it just hype?
3. Am I even ready for something like this?

The skeptic in me kept saying, “You’re doing fine, why do you need this?” But another part of me whispered, “What if this changes everything?”

What Helped Me Decide

I started talking to people who had done the program. Some were friends, some acquaintances, and even strangers on social media. Their experiences were diverse, but one thing was common—they all said it was worth it.

Then I did something I always do when making a big decision: I made a mental pro-con list. Here’s what mine looked like:

Pros:

• A chance to learn from someone like Sadhguru, who has a global reputation.
• Tools to handle stress better and find clarity.
• The possibility of inner peace (something we all crave but rarely admit).

Cons:

• The cost felt steep at first.
• I wasn’t sure if I’d have the patience to sit through hours of online/offline sessions.
• What if I didn’t connect with the program at all?

Looking at the list, the pros clearly outweighed the cons. Still, I wasn’t 100% sure.

The Final Push

What really pushed me over the edge was a simple thought: "What’s the worst that happen?" Even if it didn’t change my life, at least I’d learn something new. And let’s be real, we often spend on things like fancy dinners or random gadgets without thinking twice. Why not invest in something that can change the way I experience life?

My Takeaway

If you’re considering Inner Engineering, here’s my two cents:

• Do your research: Watch videos, read testimonials, and talk to people who’ve attended the program.
• Be open-minded: It’s not just about yoga or meditation—it’s about shifting your mindset.
• Ask yourself why: If you’re looking for quick fixes, this isn’t it. But if you’re willing to dig deep and work on yourself, it’s worth considering.

A Simple Question

Sadhguru often says, “Are you living life consciously or compulsively?” That’s the question that ultimately made me decide. I didn’t want to live on autopilot anymore. I wanted to see if life is more than just a series of tasks and deadlines.

So, did I sign up? Yes, I did. And was it worth it? I’ll leave that for another post. For now, let’s just say it helped me look at life differently.

If you’re debating whether to go for it, just pause for a moment and ask yourself: What’s stopping me? Sometimes, the answer to that question is all you need.

Let me know if you’ve been through the program or are thinking about it. Would love to hear your thoughts! 😊
