In this deeply nourishing 30-minute conversation, Swami Nityananda (senior teacher at Awake Yoga Meditation) shares luminous wisdom on how to move from fear of change to joyful co-creation with life. Drawing from the non-dual teachings of her guru Swami Shankarananda and her own lived experience (including the profound transition after her teacher’s passing in 2014), she reveals practical and spiritual ways to stay centered, open-hearted, and even liberated while everything around us shifts.
Key Takeaways
Change is inevitable — like trying to stop Niagara Falls. Resistance only adds suffering.
The real power lies in shifting perception: instead of “I’m afraid of change,” say “The changeless empowers me to thrive in the midst of change.”
Surrender doesn’t mean passivity — it means aligning every thought, word, and action with the highest good while releasing attachment to outcomes.
Joy and liberation are already present at your core; pain and trauma can be honored, integrated, and released without denying them.
True inner guidance is deeper than family, cultural, or societal pressures — write them on one side of a paper and on the other side declare, “I choose to listen to the truth of my being.”
Non-dual awareness turns every moment into a fresh, unscripted encounter filled with spontaneous goodness and grace.
People who meditate regularly often report profound shifts: lasting peace, healing of old trauma, and even (in some cases) no longer needing antidepressant medication.
