This week's epsiode I connect with Chrissie, she's spent the last five years traveling around the world  teaching on different YTTS in India, studios in the Uk from the practice in Bali, retreats in South Africa and Europe. 

We discuss the polarity that practice brings, the yearning for consciousness, the heartfelt joy of experiencing the womb of silence, even though we often self-sabotage when we are about to enter this state, due to the internal discomfort that our practice will invoke in us, asking us to expand and move through our limitations. 

There are many paths but they all lead to one destination. In this conversation we explore how deepening our relationship to rest, silence, nature, and practice helps you to live in alignment with Dharma, through self-inquiry, overcoming resistance and the internal obstacles that prevent us from trusting our intuition, expressing the truth and wholeness of who we really are. 

It is in the moment we experience contrast, we know to move forward; a part of us has to die, to help us live from wholeness, joy, as we create a life reflective of our heart's deepest desires.

This week I got the opportunity to connect with James, a beautiful open-hearted man who inspired me through his own Dharma journey. He is a film producer, psychologist and entrepreneur, but deep down a guy who wanted to explore the question -

Who am I? 

A simple question that many of us on the “spiritual seeking path” explore, or begin to ask ourselves throughout different times of our lives.  

James and I speak about the journey we have to go on to find the answers. 

The film he produced called Chasing the present, allowed James to embark on a world wide journey, to explore the root cause of the modern societal epidemic of stress, anxiety, panic and emotional suffering.

In a world which is constantly demanding our attention, when we create an intention to show up fully in the presence of the moment, this is how we move beyond anxiety beyond thought. Freedom is possible. 

James shares many great insights on mental health, but one that resonated most, is that many mental health imbalances are a sign that we are disconnected from our true-self. 

He explores all different alternative routes from mindfulness practices, yoga, and meditation in India with Gurus, to flying to Peru to work with Shamans and plant-based medicine, as well as working with modern psychologists, he got to explored all of his edges, to find out how we can truly connect back to ourselves and nature. 

James runs a plant-based cafe called @Alchemybali alongside a meditation centre both situated in Bali, that I highly recommend checking out, if you enjoyed this episode go check out the movie chasing the present, it includes one of my most favourite spiritual teachers @russelbrand sharing truth on mental health. 

Thank you James for sharing your embodied wisdom with us.

Nidhi grew up with a grandfather who was an Ayurvedic healer, she learnt Ayurveda as a second language, when she moved from India to New York she had no idea it would become so popular and desperately needed in the West as an alternative holistic medicine.

Nidhi also shares some ancient Yogic wisdom on the Bhagavad Gita texts.

Cris had just left his long term corporate job in Dubai which he shares in depth the ugly truth of working for a job that doesn't inspire you to get out of bed anymore. 

Cris left the city life, after doing his yoga teacher training at @thepracticebali, he continued a meditation mentorship program with our beloved teacher @kingsmeditationandmentoring, through his dedication and love for meditation Micheal asked him to join forces and unite and they now facilitate online a year long incredible meditation teacher training called Fire and Water, in English and Español.  

This is episode is for you if you have yet to take the leap into the unknown, and want a little bit of inspired action to do so, Cris shares so many beauitful honest truths about himself before his perfect storm hit, which catapulted him to pack his bags, and go on his Dharma Journey, after experiencing a big grief the loss of his mother, he knew he needed to create more joy, truth and peace in his life, through doing what he loves to do.

This episode is dedicated to our Teacher Micheal and Cris mother.

This week's episode I invited Kartika, an incredible  hypnotherapist and teacher, who runs workshops, and facilitates hypnotherapy training. She has created a holistic healing sanctuary here in Bali called Maja Healing. 

Kartika has a background in Psychology, a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, Kartika has worked hundreds of hours of experience, she specialises in holistic healing hypnosis bringing together various teachings, processes and modalities to guide individuals on their healing journey. 

This episode dives deeper into what hypnotherapy is and how it works on changing your subconscious, as these thoughts shape your everyday belief system, habits and current reality.

Learn to identify if you're stuck in a cycle of negative habitual thoughts that are causing self-doubt, shame, guilt, if they are not expressed fully overtime can and will lead into self-sabotage behaviours, unprocessed emotions, fear, guilt, anger can and will develop later into addiction or disease in the body. 

Learn how hypnotherapy is a healing tool for the mind, through creating a safe container for you to release any trapped emotions, stories, or traumas. 

This healing modality is a powerful tool for transforming your sub-cons conscious belief system to your new desired future self, so you can easily begin to self-regulate, which creates an empowered state that promotes resilience, self-agency, which creates a greater level of autonomy.

In this episode Sarah shares the science of tantric living, to transform ordinary lives into extraordinary ones through the practices of tantra. 

Sarah is a yogi and momma goddess, level 1 @Parayoga certified yoga teacher, she used to run a sustainability innovation program for a large multinational and has worked around the globe in diverse capacities running a grass-roots NGO, in Southern Africa, now she is showing you how to systematically evolve through your yoga practices using a time and test methodology to find joy in everyday living. 

Tantra is the science of energy management. We cultivate sensitivity to it, we generate it, we store it, we move it and use it. 

Tantra is a systematic process, we use this framework to increase efficiency and effectiveness in our lives, our yoga practice is the experiment so we can continue to develop an understanding of ourselves, on and off the mat, cultivate clear discernment in our lives, invite patience and stability, from that space we can express who we are and use our purpose/ dharma as a vehicle of that expression, which promotes a free-flowing state of more easeful transitions in life.

This short and sweet meditation is so helpful when we are super in our heads, flighty, ungrounded, unsettled, resentful, not able to let go, go to sleep, we are unstable, unfocused, or even constipated! 

A great beginner meditation, we welcome all levels, enjoy this beautiful practice with a re-constructive element to it at the end, to invite in gratitude, and clear intention.

In this episode, I interviewed Sandey, a previous studio owner, who facilitates yoga 200hr and 300hr teacher trainings in New Zealand. 

Sandey shares her personal story of awakening through the practices of yoga, she continued to find her joy through teaching others how to remember their light, overcome stories of limitations, the belief of I am not good enough, is one Sandey helps her students navigate.  

Sandy truly embodies the traditional teachings that allow you to find your own worth, light, through studying and practising ancient teachings that can and will liberate us from our suffering. 

A Beautiful episode to remind us why we practice yoga, in the moments of darkness we can use our practice to connect back to the universal love, in which we are made from, it's within you, me and everyone. 

Sometimes we just need to find the right teachers, practices, to guide us back on the right path when we have lost connection to it.

I invited Eva brown on again, with over 10 years experience in her industry she helps couples evolve consciously through sacred partnership. 

In this episode we talk about how couples need emotional intelligence to navigate self-sabotage, defense mechanisms & trauma trances cycles. 

She shares with you how to understand when your past experiences are sabotaging your present or future intimate relationships.

Eva shares how many of us don’t understand or can’t see our own defense mechanisms in relationships resulting in further dis-connection, this episode helps you understand how to take back your power in relationships as you begin to create a deeper intimacy through conscious communication or seeking couples therapy.

Through this episode you will understand why you seek out approval addiction, how to self-regulate when your partner triggers you. 

Creating a safe nourishing relationships dynamic where you both individually and together continue to choose to evolve into a scared partnership.
