Episode 42 of the podcast is all about How to Feel Infinite Joy and Universal Compassion, Now.
There is a guided Meditation Practice, for channeling the higher self, which begins at 1:00:54
The episode is centered around an idea from the legendary yoga teacher Sharon Gannon who said: “You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. What you can do are exercises which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state.”
I drilled home Sharon’s presupposition that our natural state is bliss, joy or ecstasy - by sharing the meaning behind some of the eternal spiritual teachings.
I share several Sanskrit Mantras that are devoted to describing the true nature of all living beings, which establish a connection to reality beyond our familiar ego-personality structure.
I then deconstruct the 12th yoga sutra of Master Patanjali, which does three things:
1. It identifies “a busy mind” as the enemy of peace, then offers the remedy (two recommendations) for freeing us from our suffering:
2. Constant Practice, to remove blockages to our natural state
3. Non- Attachment, to Non-attachment is not about being a cold or emotionally dead brick wall, instead, it’s about learning how to let go of the thoughts and emotions that create suffering. Once we can stop being so attached to our thoughts, we experience tremendous relief, inner peace, and a pervading sense of joyful well-being.
This episode was created with the intention of helping our community practice achieving a “spiritual reset” as we close out an old year and prepare for a new one.
