Bibi has a way of eloquently articulating the experiences that are, well, really, really hard to articulate. 

In this episode, we talk about how the practice of ashtanga yoga helps refine our ability to listen and discern what is true—and what is your mind projecting something on to the truth. 

We all have that deep intuitive voice within ourselves, it just takes a matter of getting quiet enough to hear it, and then faith and a structure that allows us to go forward with what we hear.

We also talk about her chanting practice and how Bhakti and Vedic chanting are more subtle doorways to connecting with the divine.

How can we remove ourselves enough to connect with what’s truly there? How can we embody the practice, not as a performance, but as a lived truth? Let’s dive in.
