Empowered Connection Podcast

Themes: How to Love, Relationships, Connection, What Love Is, Partnership, Spirituality, Self Work

In this shorter, solo podcast episode Empower Connection host Daniel Damodar Cordua dives into the levels of what love is: from it being a feeling, to it being our true nature, and, finally, to the necessity to practice love as a skill.

We are all entities made up of love, it is our soul’s essence. 

Yet, the difficulty arises when that love gets blocked, covered, jammed up, overflowed, overused, or dried up.

Listen to today’s episode and find a metaphor and a strong invitation into learning how to be a channel for love to flow more fully, freely, and sustainably within your own life.

Heed the call and empower your relationship to others, to the world, and to your own self.

EMPOWERED CONNECTION 

Themes: Regret, Loss, Self Empowerment, Blame, Shame, Self Criticism, Self Compassion, Self Love, Self Growth

It’s the 100th episode of the Empowered Connection Podcast! We extend our deep gratitude to you - our listeners and to expert special guests who have made this podcast such an inspiring resource for self growth, relational awareness, healing, consciousness, and spirituality.  

Please join us to celebrate and please join us for our NEXT 100 episodes!

In this solo podcast episode, podcast host Daniel Damodar Cordua takes on a timely subject - the experience of regret.  Sometimes the New Year inspires us to think about the future and what goals we have coming next, sometimes it asks us to celebrate all that we have done in the previous year, and sometimes it leaves us lingering with the feeling of regret.  

Sometimes it can bring up, bubbling into our hearts, the losses, the difficulties and the misses.

In this episode, Daniel explores two distinct ways that we can deal with regret - one that is natural and tempting but filled but with liability and the other more challenging but empowering.

Listen in and explore the ways we deal with loss & regret and be inspired by tools & perspectives that can shift our hearts into fuller potential and opening.

EMPOWERED CONNECTION

Themes: Self Awareness, Self Exploration, Relational Awareness, Society + Culture, Empowerment, Family Dynamics, Inner Work, Yoga Philosophy

Join Empowered Connection host Daniel Damodar Cordua for this shorter, solo podcast and explore a simple, yet profound premise that will teach you how to see yourself, your patterns, and your relationships more deeply, more fully and more comprehensively.

In the stories of yoga, the divine entities Shiva & Durga both carry tridents.  These tridents are viewed as having various metaphors -  one insightful metaphor is that the three prongs of the trident represent the three levels - or ways - that we can understand ourselves -  personal karma, our relational karma and our karma in connection to the larger time in history we are part of.

In this episode, Daniel Damodar will explore this metaphor and how it allows us to see our lives in three profound ways: intra-pyschically, interpersonally, societally

Listen to the end and gain practical tools from this framework that will help you understand yourself, your life, your relationships, and your connection to all more deeply and profoundly.

That, and much more...
