In this enlightening episode of Between Soul and Sky, Richard sits down with Anya for a deep and meaningful conversation about the ancient Vedic concept of the Three Gunas—Sattva (purity), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (inertia)—and how they shape every aspect of our inner and outer lives.

Together, we explore how understanding these fundamental energies can guide us toward greater balance, self-awareness, and soul alignment in our everyday choices, relationships, and spiritual practices.

Anya shares personal insights, practical tools, and timeless wisdom that invite us to observe our own tendencies with compassion—and begin living with more clarity and conscious intention.

Whether you're new to yogic philosophy or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive approach to living in harmony with your true nature.

In the 11th episode of Between Soul & Sky, we journey into the ancient and transformative practice of Kriya Yoga with Jennifer Gannon — a certified Yoga and Breathwork teacher, spiritual guide, and creative strategist. With roots in both Eastern tradition and Western innovation, Jennifer offers a rare and integrated perspective on the spiritual path, blending deep inner wisdom with a grounded understanding of modern life.

Together, we explore what makes Kriya Yoga so distinct — from its sacred pranayama techniques and energetic alignment with the chakras, to its powerful capacity to dissolve ego and awaken the soul’s memory.

Jennifer shares her personal story of being drawn to the practice, how it reshaped her inner and outer world, and the subtle ways it guides one toward self-realization — not just in theory, but in direct experience.

We discuss the soul’s karmic journey, the role of stillness and silence, and the fine balance between spiritual detachment and full-hearted participation in life. For those feeling called to the path of yoga but unsure where to begin, Jennifer offers a compassionate invitation for your own journey home.

What happens to our relationships when we grieve? What truths surface when we stop pretending to be okay?

In this deeply honest and heartfelt episode, I sit down with Jennifer James to explore the raw, unspoken layers of loss. Through the lens of her own story—losing her sister—Jennifer opens a portal into what grief actually feels like: the silence, the sorrow, the rage… and the strange beauty that can emerge in the aftermath.

This is not a conversation wrapped in clichés or neat conclusions.

This is grief unfiltered.

Together, we explore:

1) The soul-level impact of losing a sibling

2) How grief isolates us in a world addicted to moving on

3) The friends who vanished—and the ones who stayed

4) What grief teaches about truth, love, and who we really are

5) How sorrow can awaken memory, meaning, and the soul’s deeper path

Whether you’re in the thick of grief, quietly holding your pain, or supporting someone you love—this episode offers a mirror, a companion, and a reminder: you are not alone.

🕯️ Your grief is sacred, never forget that!

Together, we move beyond platitudes and into the real, unfiltered experience of grief: the silence, the rage, the loneliness, the moments that undo us—and the unexpected beauty that still finds a way through.

Jennifer shares her personal story of losing her sister, what it revealed about love, pain, identity, and the soul’s transformation through loss.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt invisible in their grief, who’s ever had to pretend to be okay just to survive, or who longs to feel less alone in the dark.

2) The loneliness of grief in a world that rushes past it

3) The people who disappeared—and those who stayed

4) What grief has taught about love, truth, and identity

Let's explore the archetype of action entering the temple of refinement — a sacred moment where instinct is asked to serve something higher. This is a crisis of effort, a call to purify not only what we do, but why we do it.

The warrior meets the healer, and the fire of will is invited into devotion, humility, and right use. We reflect on how the Mars archetype evolves through conscious discipline, and how Virgo’s transitional essence asks us to transform crisis into clarity, perfectionism into presence, and over-functioning into sacred service.

This episode is for you if you’re:

1) Feeling pressure to act but unsure where or how to move

2) Caught in cycles of burnout, over-analysis, or hyper-responsibility

3) Longing to align your effort with your deeper values

4) Seeking a soulful lens on how to work, serve, and lead with intention

I'll cover:

- The deeper meaning of crisis as a rite of refinement

- How the archetype of Mars transforms when met with discernment

- Virgo as the alchemist: purifying the will, the word, and the wound

- Shadow dynamics of over-correcting, guilt, and repressed rage

- Soulful guidance to reclaim sacred effort and embodied devotion

Tune in for an insightful journey through archetypal psychology, soul growth, and practical wisdom for anyone in a time of transition or internal pressure. Your soul doesn’t need to do more — it needs to remember why it began.
