Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

There is a great story within each of us just waiting to be told. However, articulating ourselves and getting it onto paper can feel like a herculean task. The problem is that if we want to share our story, we'll need to learn how to express ourselves and let go of perfectionism and doubt. In this energizing and exciting conversation, Life and Publishing Coach, Cynthia Gregory, explains how we can do just that. Cynthia is a wealth of wisdom about owning our stories, getting them down on paper, and out into the world. She's done it herself a few times! As a writer and published author, Cynthia has figured out the formula for bringing forth a personal story. Her new book, What Is Possible From Here, is a beautiful collection of stories about how our lives affect one another. In this episode, Cynthia shares some very helpful tips on how to get started with your writing, developing a writing practice, the benefits of expressing yourself through your words, how to make dreams of writing a book a reality and, possibly most importantly, the power of journaling as a conversation with your soul.

There are a million ways to meditate, yet we often think it needs to be perfected in a specific way. What is the truth about meditation and is it only effective if we go about it in one particular way? In this episode I chat with my friend Mahesh to investigate these questions. As the founder and CEO of Heal, a personal, immersive, sacred sound meditation space, and a yoga and meditation teacher, Mahesh knows a few things about building a meditation practice. It is his ability to enable self-introspection and weave the teachings of Non-duality and Vedanta that enables him to teach others how to build an inner awareness and understand and honor the true nature of your consciousness and divinity. Mahesh shares tips and insights with us around meditation, understanding the chakra system, non-duality, and the benefits of sound healing.

Mahesh had his first major introspective breakthrough meditating on the Vivekananda rock in the southern tip of India while on a pilgrimage to India back in 2004. Since then he has served at the Sivananda Ashram in Grass Valley, CA and deepened his yoga and Advaita Vedanta meditation practice at various ashrams in India and the US. He teaches the integration of bhakti yoga, karma yoga, and raja yoga as it is intended to be taught in the ancient teachings of the Patanjali yoga sutras and inthe ancient scriptures of the Upanishads.He currently teaches Vedantic, mindful, and visualization meditation at the Samadhi Yoga Gruha in San Jose, CA.
