There are times in history that are times of change, and when they happen and social evolution is really taking place, we are able to see a lot clearer the deep, hidden problems that are now surfacing out.

When we can see the pain and we can see what we really know to be uncomfortable, then we can do something about it. But moving things in any direction can be a lot easier with the people we know well. So how can we deal with the individuals that we don’t know? What can and should we say?

In today’s episode, of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga shares a story that is a perfect example of how we should handle the people and the ideas we don’t agree with, including the way politicians approach the situation that reigns over America.

What a crazy world we’re living in at the moment!

We’ve all been watching the TV and have seen all the really scary images of what’s going on in America and the terrible tragic death of that poor man, and all the righteous anger that it has sparked.

It feels really heavy to think that people can be treated so differently because of the color of their skin, so in today’s episode of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga does some cleansing, purification, and prayer around the situation we’re all aware of, to heal the human consciousness and support the protestors everywhere.

She leads a guided meditation and clearing for uplifting and transforming consciousness around racial prejudice. It includes a mantra segment, shared with the permission of the Spiritual Master, Sri Sakthi Amma, that invokes a powerful energy of transformation and change.

When you are in a relationship that hits some bumps in the road, what do you do? Do you stay and keep working on it, hoping that your efforts will pay off? Or do you turn your back and walk away? How do you know when you should try to fix the problem, or when it’s time to simply leave?

In today’s episode of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga offers her personal advice on how you should approach a situation like this, and she shares some tips on what you can do and what to focus on if you decide that that relationship still deserves a fighting chance.

Many of us become interested in spirituality because something is not working in our lives. When we dive deep, we begin to learn a lot of interesting and eye-opening things, but those ideas by themselves usually don’t lead to change. What changes us is when we walk our talk and put all the notions into practice. 

This week’s affirmation focuses on just that, so let’s think about walking our talk to begin the change that we’re looking for:  As I walk my spiritual talk, my life transforms with elegance and divine grace.

Have you ever been affected by other people’s energy?

Just like we digest food, sometimes we have to digest situations and even our emotions sooner or later, and come to grips with them. In today’s episode of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga explains how our emotional bodies are not confined to the inside of us, and how we can be psychic sponges picking up other people’s energy. She shares a short guided process to release the energy we’ve picked up, and how to apply a shield of protection.

Go to a quiet place, find a comfortable place to spend the next few minutes, and allow Shakti to guide you through some cognitive refocusing techniques, to release all negative thoughts, vibrations, emotions, and feelings of the day.

Usually, when a change of any kind comes along, the first thing we do is panic and we imagine every disaster scenario known to man. Is this something you can relate to? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Most people react this way – and it’s just a downward spiral from there. We become an attractive field for problems and missed opportunities, and we start to be the person for whom everything starts to go wrong and everything’s bad.

The number one rule in spiritual training is, “Don’t panic” – because whatever is going on, there will be a way in or through or around the change that we experience. The times when the challenge is the biggest is the best time for mental mastery because that’s what’s going to pull you through.

In today’s episode of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga is exploring mental mastery and consciousness, in relation to abundance, so get comfortable and open your mind to the realm of calmness and enlightenment.

Faith is sometimes tricky because it means different things for different people. Whatever definition you have of faith, they all imply having a better and more peaceful life, positive outcomes, and a happier and fulfilled existence.

The bottom line is we need to have faith, so try this week’s affirmation, to strengthen its power: I walk across the bridge of faith to the life I yearn to make.

How often do we make plans and schedule everything down to the last detail, only to find ourselves thrown into the unexpected? It’s like sometimes the Universe doesn’t want to cooperate with us or just wants to play some snooker and rearrange the balls of our reality.

This translates into change – sometimes, the perceived enemy of our balance and security. World events like hurricanes or wars don’t alter the day-to-day experiences for everyone on the planet. But this time, the Universe hit all the balls on the table, and COVID rearranges our lives in ways we couldn’t imagine before.

In today’s episode of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga shares a few ways to deal with the changes that are inevitable so that we can transition as positive as we can into a new, brighter future.

The gifts of the spiritual path are quite amazing, and if you’ve been on this journey for a while, you’ve probably made some changes that you wouldn’t have dreamt possible when you first started. Maybe you found out you’re able to meditate or you’ve discovered peace and joy, or maybe your health has improved and your relationships are better than ever.

All these experiences are symptoms of success on the spiritual path. But sometimes, what we’re experiencing doesn’t feel like success at all, especially when our mind is taking the reins over our soul. Like everything, there are periods along the way, with ups and downs, and in this episode of Soul Talk, Shakti Durga offers some tips as to how we might manage ourselves through the spiritual cycles we experience.
