"There is only one thing and we are all it. And that one thing is consciousness".

You’ve likely heard podcast host Emily Fletcher talk about The Vedas. When she began studying them, she was still performing on Broadway and would spend hundreds of hours diving deeper into these universal truths that ultimately shaped who she is and how she interacts with the world.

They are why she became a meditation teacher. They are why she started Ziva. They are the foundation of everything we teach.

Many years later, Emily has combined all of her Vedic knowledge into our most advanced course, Moving into Mastery. Enrollment officially opens on June 26, so we wanted to share some of the most powerful, foundational concepts of The Vedas in today’s podcast episode. You will be listening to clips from the actual course, in which we not only answer the question “what ARE the Vedas?” but also show you how you can use this ancient philosophy into your everyday life.

Please enjoy this very special episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Studying The Vedas? with the one and only Emily Fletcher

In today's Student Spotlight episode, Emily is joined by Ziva student Heather Bohanan. Together, they dive into some key concepts from The Vedas that have transformed Heather’s life. 

In this episode, Heather shares how she used to judge herself for being lazy. It wasn’t until she learned more about the different Doshas, and how to fuel her specific body type that she realized she was never lazy - she just didn’t have the right tools. 

They also discuss one of Emily’s favorite concepts from The Vedas - that money is energy and it needs to flow. Plus, Heather shares a story about how she used this concept to attract more financial abundance. 

Stay until the end to watch Emily live coach Heather on calling in a romantic partner. Listen how Heather, very quickly, went from ‘I’m open to the possibility to maybe one day have a partner if Nature wants that’ to her fully claiming her desire for wanting a romantic partner.

If our brains are in charge of printing every cell in our bodies and controlling every decision we make, why are we all not consciously optimizing our brains?

Dr. Austin shares how our modern society and its consumerism do everything to keep our brains happy.

Emily and Austin dive into the external forces that affect our brains for the worse, and he gives us tips and exercises on how to optimize our brain health starting today. Yes, food and sleep are important but he also shares how psychedelics are some of the safest pharmaceuticals that we have for mental health conditions.

What if you could turn into a happiness billionaire AND share it with the world?

Today’s episode is with Emily’s dear friend and colleague, Light Watkins. As members of the same spiritual family, they’ve known each other for well over 15 years and were brought up in a similar meditation teacher training.

Light has written over 4 bestselling books and is a world-renowned meditation teacher. He’s also what he calls a “one-bagger” - living nomadically out of a carry on since 2018.

In this episode, they discuss why so many people don’t have a meditation practice they can commit to, how to fall in love with your practice and make the mundane more meditative. They also explore why you don’t need to “clear your mind” in order to meditate and how meditation practices for busy people differ from more monastic techniques.

Light also shares this concept of the fake inner voice versus the real inner voice: do you often listen to the voice of stress or the voice of your heart?

Towards the end, they explain what it takes to become a meditation teacher in this type of lineage and the dedication that is required to teach these tools.
