I smoked weed for years and I got lower and lower. I'm quitting weed today, so I can feel HIGH!
Day 1. Please send me a prayer and some GOOD vibes. THANK YOU!
It's been a week, how's your quitting procedure going?
@@creativemind1422 Wow, thank you for asking. I am feeling AWESOME! So HIGH naturally and so awake. This video had a huge impact on me. I am WEED FREE! BEST Christmas gift ever. I quit cold turkey. I don't do any other substance. I've been hiking everyday. Sleep was okay the first few days, but I am going through some insomnia now , but it's worth is and this too shall pass.
I was a chronic all day, all night until I passed out pot head.
I hope this inspires others reading this.
Nobody said it would be easy, but it is WORTH IT. I actually found it pretty easy because I wanted to quit on my own accord.
How are you doing?
So happy for you. You took some good steps to make your life healthy and happier. You only get one life so be happy, healthy and live it like a queen and if you need anyone to share your feelings, like we human feel good after sharing our feelings to other so i am always there to listen you as a good human being.
All the very best for your future.
Keep rocking.
@@creativemind1422 You are the BEST!
What an uplifting message on my one week anniversary.
Can you please ask me how I am doing after my first month?
I'd appreciate that and I'm so grateful for your kindness.
@@Godisfirst21 surely I will, i will follow this process every month and ask about this thing. I will also make sure to keep you motivated so that you will come out of this completely.
A human is not a human if he cannot be useful to others.
Thank you.
After I heard this logic, I quit smoking. It's been 20 days so far, and no withdrawals. I smoked for 18years
keep it up~ !!
wow, you are amazing. Keep it up! bless you!
How about now bro . Are you smoking now or quit for forever ?????
@@ravirana2001 I smoked once in between, but the good part is the cravings are gone. Just that one cigarette.. also I drink on a regular basis even then there's no cravings.
Really?
I quit smoking on the 1st of Dec 2020 , i want to enhance my life , i want to be a good father , i know i can do it.

Hey did you quit? I been 24hr try to looking better videos for help me
@@MoonLightBat1 i also wanna quit
@@royalbeatzff5062 i been quite since Sunday
@@MoonLightBat1 i gonna try to quit
I’m smoking my last cig as I’m watching to video, may God give me the strength to quit forever.
🤣
So.... How are things going?
That’s ironic so am I! Lol I’ve been spiritually & mentally preparing myself for this for weeks! I’m ready & I feel it inside of me
Is it going good?
Me too🥹
Quitting an addiction is easy, if you really want to. It’s only difficult if you try to quit but you don’t really want to.
Yes agreed but getting to that place of wanting to actually quit can take a lifetime full of pain
@@tootsmay4420 yes. Sometimes it never even happens. That’s the danger of addictions. If you become addicted and you’re not strong enough to shake it off, it may never leave you.
@hulladaemon Yeah, I quit drugs, alcohol and cigarettes overnight. But I started eating a lot, especially sweets.
Yes its easy i quit everyday
Correct
Once when i volunteered for Inner Engineering, there was a participant who was an alcoholic. He hadnt slept once in the last 10 years without having alcohol and he couldnt sleep without it. Just 2 days into inner engineering and he didnt drink that night. The next day again he didnt. And then on he just didnt. He shared this on the last day crying wondering how this was even possible for him. He practices shambhavi everyday now and is out of addictions completely without making any effort.
I believe drastic changes like that are possible when the Environment is right and a person is surrounded by people who practice healthy actions and have a good mindset. But it's hard to get rid of addictions all by one self at home. May I ask how many hours of Yoga and Meditation were done each day?
How frequently do you do this yoga and what are the other changes you've witnessed?
anubhav kumar i practice everyday. It’s a 21 minute kriya plus 9 minutes of preparation asanas. 30 minutes in morning and if possible 30 minutes in evening. Brings clarity, balance, inner joy. Helps immune system and relief from chronic ailments.
@@kushsareen6752 what are those 9 minutes of preparation asanas?
Have you attended the inner engineering program or any of ishas program?
If so then what are your experiences
Kush Sareen Can you please explain Kriya meditation for me ? Love & Light from NYC. Thank you so much ☮️💚
This man should not die ever🙏🙏❣️❣️🥺
But this man know that everything has end... 🙏❤
@@thisezkeeran yes... I can't even think about that situation 🙏🥺
Yes... of course but death is the day...worth living for❣️❣️🙏🙏😊
He said that he is going to take samadhi before 2043

Dry quiting after 24 years of smoking, 1 month in...
Good Man 👍 You've come this far...never go back
Well done.

Tnx guys, it's a struggle but well worth it I think.
I hope you don't mind if I ask what you smoked and how much roughly? The problem with any addiction is it's a vice that people enjoy to some degree or at least did initially. I personally think that "almost" all vices should be looked at very much the same way. Take a long enough break to get your body, heart and mind back to health. You'll see that you come to enjoy clarity and in many ways feel recharged/reborn, then get to a place where your strong enough accept it for what it is, you might find that your never able to go back to it for various reasons.
But there is a lot to be said for the enjoyment, stress relief, feelings that various "vices" can help with. The problem is it's very easy for the odd ritual to become habitual. Obviously a lot easier said than done especially when it comes to certain highly addictive ones, although they say sugar is considerably more addictive than cocaine and certainly not healthy for us. Guess any additive in life can become toxic when abused or one becomes dependent on
m81 good luck!
Today is day 1 after 24 years of smoking and drinking. I just had a birthday and I’m devoted to success. Thanks 🙏🏾
I stopped smoking because I realize my breathing was getting shorter. Now I gotta work on my coffee habit.
Smoking to get high when smoking actually lowers your faculties. HELLO?
This evening I am quitting cigarettes and I am becoming a "nonsmoker" or a integrated person again. I am proud and writing this for my future self who will see the benefits down the line. Send positive energy as I am doing the same to everybody who joined the journey of a new life :)
How's it going???
@@joseE98557 hello Jose, thank you for the question. Tomorrow I hit the three week mark from quitting smoking and it is such an incredible journey to self discovering. It isn't easy all the time, but it is rewarding. :)
@@lil4eye remember what is hard at the beginning will be easy later, the rewards are great and 6 years next month smoke free can tell you it is truly worth it. Don’t give up just decide to not smoke and smoking would be a nail in the coffin that if you want to get there just pick a fast way. Don’t know you but good luck and enjoy the life.
Love from here to you❤️ I see that instead of saying to yourself I'm quitting you say I'm leaving that behind and open new page of my life… I feel It's more from love🙌🏻 But how It's going?
Still working on it??
I quit smoking weed and nicotine 3 month's ago, and I was smoking since 15 years, I don't have any urge now but when I meet my friends they just smoke front of me so I quit meeting friends at all. Socially isolated but I'm feeling great with my health. Now I'm not counting day by day anymore and I don't think but today I searched such videos just to have a boost for self motivation.
Wow. Congratulations to you! Showing some real will power there. And as my dad says, will power is the bigger than any other superpower! Hope you gain the confidence to stand up to your friends as well one day and tell them on their face. Just hang on. You will get there as well! Love from India.
Still counting days. one week no smoke!
@@jiviteshsatija Thanks I'm still better without smoke and life is better now no more coughing.
this is amazing! i can’t wait to quit both !!
I hope you’re still going strong
2 Things I expect while listening to Sadhguru :
1 : "Yes or No ?"
2: "Hello ?"
🙏🙏🙏
See Uh.. also..😁
isn’t it is best
earlier it was lets understand this.
I feel I am always gradually enlightened bit by bit , and, freely with love from Germany.
yes no hello is for large and generic audiences..
isnt it is for focused people
I was a chain smoker and was Initiated into Shambhavi in 2016, 2017 Jan I quit and not turned around, it has transformed my life substantially
thanks for sharing, made me smile! :-)
keep it going!
Can u explain the practice of shambavi?
@@nitheshkshatriya7638 nope its has to be done by Sadhguru and nobody else can do it and if anybody did please dont listen to them
@@vikrambharadwaj760 Thanks for the info.. I won't initiated with others also.. Can u brief about how to take a appointment to penetrate shambavi?
@@nitheshkshatriya7638 where are you from??
This man is unbelievable..really
I quit smoking on the 15th of April 2021 and slowly start again around 1st of September by smoking one or two cigarettes per day .. Now I'm free again and I watch this kind of videos almost every day just to be motivated..
If you really want to quit you can do it without any excuses
8 days into no nicotine .. brain still feels foggy with no motivation to do anything but it is getting better slowly
How is your journey going
I am doing Shambhavi since 3 months. I dont feel like drinking alcohol anymore. The process is powerful. I highly recommend
Any tutorial videos?
@@arnoldschafernaker512 yes

I quit smoking last year. It was hard. But easy at the same time.
I have been smoking weed since last 4 years but I have to quit for my family and for me and today is my first day without smoking weed ! Please pray for me so I can quit all bad habits 🙏
Still on track ?
So hard to do
So easy to say
Sometimes sometimes
You just have to walk away.

The best answer I have ever heard, not a bad thing, but a stupidity. Man with a vision and wisdom. Thank you Sadhguru. 🙏
I quit smoking very very long years ago but my life changed and transformed only after I quit smoking 🚬
Congratulations! I am on day 100 cold turkey. Can you describe some of your improvements!? Just for encouragement!
It's been 55 days since I had my last drink.

Congrats i hope you're still keeping on strong!
Hope ur going great 👍
🙌🙌🙌🙌
I saw smoking as way of hating my inner self and her becoming less loved by me, so I’ve quit severe smoking for 4 months now. Proud of myself.
I'm proud of you!
One of the my great weakness is smoking ... I was a smoker at 17 almost twenty years .. I hope one day to stop smoking ... One thing is great that yoga is not about being perfect but learning to be better
My faculties are failing me due to my chronic smoking habit. It's causing me to lose my vision, and that is a very good motivator to kick the habit! I greatly appreciate the shift in my perspective and I will stay vigilant, we got this!! 😤🤙
the wisdom of this man is worth highlighting, Makes me very grateful and loving of life. I will do my best to uphold and take in his teachings, I struggle with smoking as well..
Stopped smoking 17th Feb 2020.
Still going strong..no cravings at all..
Dont know how it happen .. But feeling more fresh and happy these days ..
Kush...well done 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I'm aiming for April. Enough is enough. I have to do it. For my health and pocket😏. I'm determined. I am. I am.🙏🙏😌😌
@@fjones did you stop?
I ll quit smoking from TODAY, it's my promise to myself.. God will be with me..
Thanku Sadhguru for making our live happier and blissfull.
That's is why I love sadhguru so much. His way of seeing things is natural
Finally quit smoking weed, on my second month. The next thing to quit is drinking and nicotine. It’s been hard because of my situations but I know I’ll pull through
did you see an impromvet when you quit the weed?
Quit kratom 3 months ago, now I'm about ready to quit nicotine too. We'll do it together :)
You got this!!!💪🏾
Have you stopped
@@nesarajahlaennin7702 yes I have, been clean for nearly 3 months
Every word he says is just priceless 🙏
"if you think by lowering your faculty you'll become better then all the best" - I needed to hear this
I’m on day 22 of not smoking ! It’s definitely a high on life .. dry nose and dry throat sometimes , but I’m reaching for water bottles more than the smokes . It feels great mentally ! Physically can’t wait to rid my body if it all! Sweating hands and feet are definitely here tho
@@UndercoverSpill still going . I’m on 7 months sober not even wanting weed after being around it
@@aquamatic4015 how you doing now bro? genuinely curious im having many dilemmas about wanting to quit or not and im leaning more on the side of quitting, but my end goal is to be disciplined enough to genuinely only do it a few times every few months like i do with drinking, nothing more than social as when i incorporated it into my personal life is when it got so out of control i feel like
everytime i try to do that though i end up smoking the one or two times then go heavy back into it. did you have a similar problem? do you feel like quitting was the best move for you?
You can do isha kriya or someother meditation techniques .It will be easier..I used to smoke now I don't..
Hey gl ..
Just want to thank him from bottom of my heart for changing my life 😁♥️
I felt so incredibly calm while watching this

Goodluck bro
Good luck you got it
Feeling relaxed and more powerful.I trired quitting many times with gap of 1 or 2 yrs but this time was difficult .This is my first day hope I will continue with no smoke with no gap.🙏❤️🙏
Breathing yoga exercises helps a lot
I like it when he says hello when he addresses the auidence. It's actually a good way of getting their attention, isn't it? Hello....
Hello
I say hello to girls in my classroom , but sadly i don't get attention.
Haha
@@rajatwalke4261 lol
Yes or No?
Ok. Here. Thank you for helping me.
I have stopped smoking 24 hours now I have just stopped no cutting down. 🙏🏾🤞🏾💯
Did you stay on track?
Its all about how mentally strong you are. If your mind says you can then definately it will stimulate you to do. I was smoking 2 packets of cigaratte a day during 2016-2017 and prior to that 1 packet of cigaratte in a day. Suddenly oneday My mind says you have to give up then next day onwards i have not touched any cigaratte till date. Conclusion is that try to know the art of regulating your own mind. If you look for any solution or try to give up means you can never give up. Give up means give up there should not be any hesitant or fluctuation of mind.
Been practicing the shambhavi mahamudra kriya taught in Sadhgurus inner Engineering program for 7 years now and its been the most beautiful thing to ever happen to me. Knowing tears of ectasy, life has truly become magical ❤️
His words are so simple but so effective
I love Sadhguru and love listening to his wise words 🤗🤗🤗
He's just the nicest person I've ever seen.
Having Heightened faculties makes our life enhanced..!! And YOGA is the way to heighten our faculties..!! Thank you so much Sadhguru..
Logically, we all know things that are harmful to us on, but there has to be an emotional conviction a healthy state of mind to get rid of those bad habits.
@@KC-bf7mb Bro you are everywhere
If you are living and making decisions about your life based on your "Emotional content" You're Doomed!
In Yogic Science Mind is of little relevance btw
Yes problem is people never experienced higher levels of life
That's why they keep on trying to be in that feeling of any addition
It's time to bring yoga, meditation, eating right food and having healthy sleeping routine
If anyone follow all these they themselves quit any addictions
Because they sense higher experiences of life

Higher Experiences? Are there examples of this? I would like to understand better. Respectfully, Ree

Such a great speech , thanks a lot ♥️🙏
Every night I always watch his alll videos.
He is my mentor.
Thank you Sadhguru ji.
Through listening to and watching Prof Sadhguru talk, I am able to identify that a majority of us do things not aware of the reasons around that. But I am glad that he is able to bring light to us, instead of judging, he offers a way for reasoning and putting one in a spot for reflection.
His smile makes my day
Me Too!!Much Love !!!
Yes yes ! I love to see him.
He makes sense and makes smiles too 😊

Sadguru is right! But my father stopped smoking using another way! He stopped smoking just with sheer conviction and will power! But on his face quitting smoking felt so easy.
Namaskar, seria super buenisimo que este video estuviera en español o por lo menos con subtitulos, Gracias!!!
The best talk on weed and smoking everrr , the one who would pick even 10% of what he said , would quit smoking for sure .
I quit a week ago. 32 years of smoking. I'm putting this here as it helps to share my words. I can do this!
Psychedelics would help you achieve this feat more easily. You can go see how Psilocybin mushrooms can help with addiction control then come let me be your plug.
👆👆 Got every psychedelic you could think about
Words of wisdoms. Thank you
It's one of the best exercises for knowing the power of your will. Quitters do gain much self knowledge.
Sadhguru and his clarity is too amazing
Words cannot describe you.......:) You have changed millions of people's life.
Thank You very much.
Love from your BIG FOLLOWER :)
Sadhguru namaskar......I am also your biggest follower🙏🙏
I wish I knew about Sadhguru many years ago...I'm glad I do now and am looking forward to the 4th of April to meet Sadhguru live🤗
You're saying "I wish I knew sadhguru many year ago". THe same thing you will say after doing shambhavi " I wish i could have done it year ago".

Yesterday was my 100th day since quitting cold turkey. I managed to do it by telling myself I will just have one later. But Yesterday, we celebrated with nice dinner, and making a big deal about the days like this seems like it will make it impossible for me to go back to smoking, the sense of accomplishment so that there is actually something there not worth throwing away. And I went and socialized with friends who smoke, the place i used to chainsmoke, and kept strong. I came home, and I couldn't even bring my jacket into the house because of the stink! Doesn't smell good to me anymore, tastes gross, expensive,... you know all the reasons it is STUPID! The cigarettes really did make me "low" I would have to lay down 10 minutes after feeling like crap! Then your subconscious begins to question you, asking you why your destroying yourself!?
i want to quit smoking too, Sadhguru was right, i need to fix this from within.
Thank you I needed this ❤ and light and Feeling everything is really good Amen
Looking for help to stop smocking, and this video helped. I want to be like before ❤️❤️
Have quited smoking
Real strength comes from realization and awareness.
alaje777
sadhguru Thank you, also Thanks to he team of Isha Foundation spreading this msg
Amazing clarity of thought
I think I can take of smoking after this great argument.
No arguments can't do anything
You may gain somewhat information about it but nothing else
Instead just do yoga, meditation, right food, right sleeping patterns.
Automatically you give up yourself any addiction

Its been 3 months i quit smoking and its easy, just requires the Will power n motivation! I was a smoker for 10 years but I did it! Starting few days could be tough but once u r into 4th week , u hv said goodbye to cigs. Also, I achieved it with the minimal use of nicotex. I used 7 tablets in the first month, that’s it! Now i feel proud of myself! Will definitely pen down this milestone in near time.

Same here. Its been 1 month of me quitting smoking.

I don't smoke, but the video was worth a watch as I'm addicted to 3 cups of coffee everyday. Should be easy to give up now.
3 cups of coffee everyday are good for your health provided you drink balck coffee.
Can u make a video on this coronavirus outbreak? Here in America any day now we will be quarantined. I would love a vid on how to handle this whole situation. I’m sure millions of others can also get impacted in a positive way during this rough period of time
Waw! This open my eyes so much! So true,what special man.
Haven't smoked since 4 hrs , wish me luck guyz 🥺💯
