"Start with ‘I am free’. Then you can still work on yourself as you need to."

Today, I’m happy to be sharing this delightful conversation with one of my favourite people, my dear friend Zach, a lifelong practitioner of sadhana who grew up in the Indian Himalayas at a meditation institute, in the company of an enlightened Guru.

I waited a while to finally get Zach onto the show, as he is a true yogi, but one who spends his time privately. In this episode, we explore the profound journey of self-discovery and sadhana with insights from Zach’s lifetime in the Himalayas.

Here’s what we discuss:

➖ The impact of growing up in a spiritual community

➖ The challenges and choices in a life dedicated to sadhana

➖ Insights from Swamiji's teachings on freedom and self-realization

➖The balance between worldly duties and spiritual practice

I really loved hearing Zach's reflections on the value of continuously choosing to live in truth and the importance of surrounding oneself with good company. You know, living our sadhana?

I promise you’ll enjoy Zach as much I do, and also take some points to get curious about when delving into the essence of living a life of freedom and authenticity.

In oneness,

Bobbi
