My guest this week is Sadhguru, a yogi, mystic and visionary, who has been named one of India’s 50 most influential people. He is the world’s most-watched yogi, he has more than 20 million followers on social media and more than a billion views on his YouTube channel, where he regularly shares guided meditations, wisdom, stories and guidance for living a more contented and meaningful life. He has written two New York Times bestselling books, has been a lead speaker at the United Nations General Assembly, a special invitee at TED and has also founded the Isha Foundation, a volunteer-run social outreach organisation, that aims to improve mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing for all. I start off this conversation asking Sadhguru for his perspective on the current sleep loss epidemic and I think his thoughts on this topic, may surprise you. Instead of focussing on sleep, Sadhguru actually wants us to widen our consciousness and concentrate on what really matters - being awake for life. He also explains the importance of living life, more through perception rather than expression, and why he has managed to thrive on only 2-3 hours sleep a night, for much of his adult life. Sadhguru is keen to encourage people to become more in tune with their own bodies. He believes that instead of always looking to external ‘experts’, we should spend time cultivating our own inner expertise. Listen to your body, he says. What is it telling you? External input is not intelligence, it’s merely information. When it comes to what or when to eat, when or how much to sleep, our prescription should be what feels right and what makes us feel alive. We also talk about modern, allopathic medicine and how that fits alongside more holistic, traditional modalities like Ayurveda. We both agree that while modern medicine can be an effective solution for infection and injury, it is at its core, best at emergency care not health care. And that most chronic illness comes as a result of our collective modern lifestyles - things like diet, environment and stress. He also explains the true meaning of yoga – more than a series of postures, it’s a way of understanding the world. Yoga means union, and we are in union with every other organism in the living world. This podcast is a little different from my usual episodes. Sadhguru introduces some challenging, unusual ideas and turns them into compelling arguments for living a yogic, united life. It’s an engaging conversation with a charismatic guest – I hope you enjoy listening.Thanks to our sponsors:https://www.seed.com/livemorehttps://www.vivobarefoot.com/livemorehttps://www.drinkag1.com/livemoreShow notes https://drchatterjee.com/372DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

really interesting 🙏
Reminds me of Tony Robin's... Brit version.
mental health are the real pandemic of the 21st century unless governments start to act effectively and decisively it will impact most people's day to day living even more than it already is
Brilliant insights and philosophical points of veiw,
Really informative talk. I'm Nigerian and my husband English. We live in England and I'm shocked as to the ease in which he reaches for ultra processed foods; bread, bacon, ham, crisps, cheese, cake/ every single day without any recognition of the rangers of these foods.
Is there any scripts of this podcast available? I'm not a native English speaker.
Coca-Cola should be embarrassed by that statistic!! That is disgusting!
THX it is realy effective
This is an absolutely beautiful episode. Bryony is so strong for being so open and honest. I'm sure she's changed many people's lives.
😍
I too was hit by an 18 wheel lorry on a highway in Florida. The car I was in blew up in flames and we were trapped inside. We, my father, sister and myself all made it out alive. my father had 3rd degree burns over 75% of his body and my sister and I did not have a single scratch eventhough my hair caught on fire when I was about to exit the car which my father put out. and in doing so he fell into the fire, but survived.
So many golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you 🙏❣
I can't understand what he is saying :(
Wow, so inspiring. Thank you
What an amazing humble human being and what a great interview.
Fleeting mention of disrupted sleep due to having young children. Why no reference to babies sleeping with mother, small children with parents. Thats how we evolved. Is the idea that children disrupt sleep a modern phenomenon?
Where can I find the transcripts of this episodes?
💜👍
Simple but not easy...like a lot of life.
