Isha Bio
Isha Judd is considered an "ambassador for peace" by international leaders of opinion. Her conferences and seminars are increasingly sought after throughout the world. Isha imposes no political opinions, dogmas or intellectual concepts, yet she is viewed as a modern day visionary, receiving invitations to speak in international forums, with senators, bishops and jet setters, as well as groups of ex guerilla soldiers and high security prisoners. What is it about her message that reaches beyond all differences, moving so many irrespective of their nationality, age or creed?
Isha talks about love-consciousness. She says that it is our essence, who we truly are. She says that consciousness is love: a love that is unconditional, different from all the kinds of "love" we are accustomed to, and that this love is within ourselves.
"There is nothing more fulfilling than unconditional love of self, and when we experience it, we can extend that love to every aspect of creation. When we love ourselves unconditionally, all fear disappears, and we experience union with everything. This isn't a subtle experience; it's absolute. It is the greatest thing that can happen to any human."
Upon meeting Isha in person, it becomes evident as to why she touches people so profoundly. The impact of her presence is beyond words, the depth of her gaze, the low warmth of her voice, reaching out and touching your heart. She breaks with all the paradigms of what a spiritual leader is supposed to be like, yet a simplicity, a familiarity that combine with her elegance and poise captivate the observer.
Born in Australia, where she lived a wide spectrum of human experiences that shook her structures from the very beginning, Isha was motivated to push the boundaries of life to the limit. After learning of her adoption at a very early age, she found solace in the company of animals. Her great love for horses would eventually lead her to a fulfilling career as a racehorse breaker and trainer. After great personal losses, she developed another facet, as a singer-songwriter of soft rock. But her inner journey was motivated by something greater than external success: by the yearning to break free from the fears that still held her prisoner.
ìAlthough I presented myself as someone who was successful and self assured, deep inside I was increasingly aware that this was just a social pretense. The face I showed to the world around me denied the profound fear of abandonment that shadowed this image.î
Isha began to dive deep within herself, searching for that which she had always desired. Although she did not know exactly what she was looking for, a voice whispered to her, "It's time to wake up. It's time to wake up." Guided by an inner conviction that seemed to speak to her from her heart, Isha integrated a series of components that began bringing her back home to herself, taking her beyond the confusions and preoccupations of the intellect, into an internal state of increasing peace and fullness.
As she continued expanding this internal experience, she left behind her addictions, attachments and fears, until reaching enlightenment: the awakening she had so yearned for.
So it was that this experience, often considered in our culture to be almost impossible to achieve - only for the chosen few, and only after many years of abstinence and disconnection from society - today emanates from an impacting, moving being, who is at the same time grounded and modern; someone who lives in the world, not distanced from it.
How can we feel that peace, that wellbeing, in a world of increasing uncertainty and change? Isha assures us that it is absolutely possible, and that it can happen in our own lives: her experience serves as a vibrant example of what we are all capable of achieving.
Also, her system has no beliefs. It is not a religion, yet neither does it go against any. Maybe this is why amongst others, she has taught nuns, rabbis and priests, as well as atheists, skeptics and modernists: she quenches a thirst that every human shares, and that unites us beyond all apparent differences: the search for love.

ìUnconditional love is within us. The steps and tools of this System unleash a permanent experience of freedom and innocence, forgotten since early childhood.

When I stop projecting my fears, anxieties and disillusionments onto my surroundings, this love of self is reflected in the world around me.î - Isha Judd

(made clearer in advanced meetings and intensives)
1. THE FACETS OF THE DIAMOND PORTAL
The facets of the Diamond Portal are practical tools that you can apply in daily life to expand internal consciousness. Through their practice, you will immediately start to feel more peace and joy in the present moment. They develop personal experience rather than concepts and theory, providing a direct route to anyone wishing to explore their true nature.
The facets themselves are profound expressions of unconditional love. They bring our attention away from the concerns and preoccupations of the intellect, anchoring our awareness in the silent depths of our being. Established in this internal experience, we begin to live life from the heart. When this happens, everything changes, from the inside out.
2. FOCUSING ON LOVE-CONSCIOUSNESS
The Facets of the Diamond Portal bring our awareness directly into the experience of love-consciousness, every time we think them.
Love-consciousness is the unconditional love within all beings, an experience that keeps expanding when we dive deep within ourselves. It is not strange or ethereal, but something very concrete and natural.
By focusing on this experience when using the facets, it begins to permeate every aspect of our lives. When our inner state no longer depends on the shifting sands of the world around us, we find true freedom, letting go of the need to control or manipulate our surroundings in order to be happy.
ìTo sit in love-consciousness is to sit in the silence. I call it the roaring silence, because sometimes itís so silent, itís loud. When you are sitting in love-consciousness, even in the midst of great noise, the silence will be louder.î - Isha
3. FEELING YOUR EMOTIONS
Many of us have learnt to abandon our feelings from a very early age. Maybe our parents told us that crying was a sign of weakness, or that it was inappropriate to get angry. These suppressed emotions have not disappeared: they lie deep within us, slowly building up until they explode in bursts of rage or drawn out depressions.
As your experience of love-consciousness expands, your emotions will start to flow more spontaneously. When this happens, it is important to allow yourself to feel them, without judgment. This is quite different to getting caught up in the drama or the suffering. For example, if we are sad, we allow ourselves to cry! If we are angry, we scream in a pillow, punch a punching bag or mattress, or do physical exercise to move the energy.
It is by embracing the shifting extremes of our emotions that we find true peace, not through repression or denial. Children are a perfect example of this. They live totally in the moment, and they never judge themselves. They are real, vulnerable and innocent. Because of this, most of the time, they are happyñthey donít hold on to their emotions, so they move very quickly.
4. PHYSICAL EXERCISE
When we are unifying, it is not only our perception that is changing. The vibratory shift that occurs when we think the facets affects the entire nervous system. As the frequency of love-consciousness enhances the nature of our molecular structure, the body starts to upgrade.
In the presence of a high vibration, any low vibrations naturally move towards the higher. When this happens during unification, everything that vibrates on a low frequency within the bodyñtoxins, stress and physical tensionñbegins to fall away naturally.
You can help your body remove the stress and toxins that are surfacing by getting some exercise. Any kind of exercise is validówalking, running, dancing, swimming, yoga . . . any sport or physical activity that you enjoy.
5. DRINKING WATER
Another way to help the body in its healing process is to drink water. The body uses liquid to flush out the toxins that are being released during unification, and so it dehydrates quicker than usual. Because of this, it is important to drink at least one and a half liters of water per day. This will help your body eliminate the stress that is leaving. If you are not used to drinking a lot of water, try keeping a bottle on your desk or bedside table, and drinking from it every time you remember. In any case, you will find that your body naturally starts asking for water, and you will start to feel thirsty, as you become more aware of its needs.
6. BEING REAL
The experience of love-consciousness vibrates in truth. When we live from this space, the masks and false postures we have adopted from society to protect what we perceive as our inherent imperfections, feel increasingly uncomfortable. In order to experience unconditional love of self, they must be removed. By allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, we return to this state of acceptance, embracing our humanity in its perfection.
7. ALWAYS SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH
In modern society, we have learnt to often lie. We lie in order to please others and receive their approval. We lie in order to defend ourselves, to hide the parts of ourselves we have learnt to judge as wrong or inappropriate. We think, itís just a little lieÖ but there are hundreds of them! Our greatest fear is to not receive approval. We so desperately want to be loved.
When we start the journey back home to ourselves, we start to speak our truth.
Speaking the truth is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger your awareness of being truthful will become.

ìWhat this system proposes is the opportunity to experience unconditional love of self. Having the capacity to surrender in every moment and flow with the changes of the universe. To live in the here and now, embracing the abundance, the beauty and the magic of life. To perceive the perfection of your creation, and enjoy its duality. As you change your perception, you will find that this human experience can become the most exciting, wonderful, inspiring, enlightening game that has ever existed.î -Isha

Social Service
We are working towards global change, through elevating the consciousness of humanity.
Isha says, ìYou are what you choose. Instead of choosing for fear, choose for love.î
Ishaís approach to world peace starts in the heart of every human. It urges the individual to take responsibility for their own happiness, their own fulfillment, and to find the strength within themselves to move beyond any hardships and limitations life may bring.
Ishaís passion to share the experience of love-consciousness has inspired multiple initiatives and programs, designed to bring her system to the most vulnerable sectors of society. From prisoners to orphans, ex guerilla soliders to homeless families, the Isha Judd System has been made freely available through numerous organizations. The results have been impacting: high security inmates report feelings of inner freedom, former addicts finally satiate the need for their drug of choice. In hospitals, the System helps terminal patients face the last days of their lives with serenity and peace, and in some cases, to accelerate the healing process and reach full recovery.
Inspired by her vision for a world united in the experience of love-consciousness, Ishaís revolutionary system for inner change is providing a concrete solution to the difficulties and problems in the lives of many.
ìUntil we realize that there is no scarcity or lack ñ nothing to protect or fight for ñ we will struggle in fanatical defense of our belief systems and religions. Until we see that we are not our ideas, and that ultimately we are all unconditional love, this cycle will continue, eternally.î
-Isha
