My Yatra: Journey to the Divine Self

The Power of the Pause: Detach, Reattach, and Return to Self


Listen Later

In this soul-nourishing episode, Dr. Maneesha Asundi takes us on a journey back to our truest self—the quiet observer within. As the world grows noisier and more advanced, we often silence the one voice that matters most: our intuitive wisdom. Through poetic storytelling, real-life metaphors, and ancient teachings, Maneesha invites us to step off the mental treadmill and into a still, sacred awareness.

She introduces the powerful practice of the three sacred shifts—Detach, Reattach, and Pause—that help us move from emotional reactivity to spiritual clarity. Whether it’s the chaos of airport delays, the sting of rejection, or the pressures of societal roles, this episode is a blueprint for reclaiming peace and presence in the face of life’s turbulence.

• Why intuitive wisdom is the most advanced intelligence—and how to access it
• How identifying with the mind creates suffering, and how stillness heals it
• The "screen" metaphor: how to observe life without being shaken by it
• Why emotional reactions are optional—and how to create sacred space before responding
• A powerful mantra from Maneesha’s family: “So what?”—and how it changed her life
• Why your peace does not depend on perfect circumstances
• How the simple act of pausing becomes a gateway to clarity, growth, and power
• What it means to reclaim your energy and stop giving others “the straw”
