In this episode of Conversations with Emily, we explore the sacred art of joy and pleasure, known as Kāma in ancient wisdom, and how it calls us into presence in everyday life. Through the timeless story of Krishna’s flute, we reflect on the subtle invitations that life offers: the warmth of sunlight, the laughter of a friend, the smell of rain, or the simple rhythm of your own breath.

Join me as we journey through story, reflection, and gentle practices to awaken your senses, notice life’s quiet delights, and reconnect with the profound beauty of the ordinary. This episode is an invitation to experience joy and pleasure as sacred acts of presence, open to anyone, no matter your background or prior experience with spiritual practice.

✨ Listen to discover:

• How to notice the small sparks of joy and delight in daily life
• Reflections on the sacredness of pleasure and presence
• Ways to follow life’s invitations without chasing or forcing them
• A story that brings ancient wisdom into a modern, accessible context

In this episode of Conversations with Emily, we explore Artha, the second of the four great aims of life, the pursuit of prosperity. But Artha isn’t just about money. It’s about the resources, support, and stability that allow us to live fully, step into our purpose, and share our gifts with the world.

Together, we reflect on the goddess Lakshmi, the lotus, and the beauty of rising from life’s messy, imperfect soil into abundance. Through guided visualization, you’ll step into your own “Garden of Artha,” connecting with the safety, nourishment, and support that is already available to you.

This episode is a conversation about living with abundance, trusting life’s flow, and noticing the richness already in your life, no matter where you are or what your circumstances look like.

✨ Listen, breathe, and allow yourself to feel held, resourced, and enough.
